Ohio State’s Mitch Rossi Returning For Extra Season Of Eligibility

As first reported by Dan Hope of Eleven Warriors, Ohio State fifth-year senior tight end Mitch Rossi will take advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted to all student-athletes amid the pandemic and return to the Buckeyes in 2022. 

“Coach (Ryan) Day was very persuasive and believes Mitch can add a component the team needs on offense, on special teams and as a leader,” Rossi’s father, Tom, told Hope. “We’ve been told that there are NFL teams interested in Mitch and another year to showcase himself would benefit him in that pursuit.”
