Ohio State football landed a major transfer commitment on Tuesday. 

The Buckeyes picked up former Ole Miss cornerback Davison Igbinosun. Originally a four-star recruit out of New Jersey, Igbinosun had an impactful freshman season for the Rebels in 2022.

In 13 games, Igbinosun registered 37 total tackles and broke up five passes. He should provide an immediate boost to the OSU secondary in 2023.

"Former Ole Miss freshman All-American cornerback Davison Igbinosun has committed to Ohio State. Huge addition to the Buckeye secondary," said one Ohio State fan account.

Longtime Ohio State football reporter Austin Ward called the 6-foot-2, 185-pound Igbinosun "a proven playmaker at cornerback to bolster the depth in the secondary out of the transfer portal."

"Buckeyes using the portal to fix defensive holes. Absolutely love it," added another OSU fan.

Igbinosun, who entered the transfer portal two weeks ago, also made reported visits to Michigan and UCLA and had interest from Tennessee before ultimately deciding to join the Buckeyes.
