Freshman All-American CB Davison Igbinosun makes transfer decision

By Andrew Kulha | Last updated 1/31/23

The rich get richer in college football. That's always been the case, and it's literally the case now that players can sign NIL deals and blue-chip programs can offer more than just their school tradition and spirit to top recruits.

Davison Igbinosun earned freshman All-America accolades at Ole Miss in 2022 after a season that saw him play in 13 games, start in 10 and come away with 37 tackles and five pass breakups for the Rebels.

Citing coaching-staff uncertainty, Igbinosun entered the transfer portal in mid-January, and it hasn't taken long for him to find a new college football home. In fact, some would say it's an upgrade in football home — going from Ole Miss to Ohio State.

This is a big-time get for the Buckeyes, who don't normally lack talent but will happily add more to the roster.

From Union, New Jersey, Igbinosun was the No. 21-ranked recruit prospect in the 2022 class as well as the top recruit from the state of New Jersey.

As a young player who already has starting experience — and from the SEC, no less — it's easy to predict that he'll have a major impact in Columbus sooner rather than later.
