Former four-star linebacker Keandre Jones is transferring from Ohio State, the program confirmed Tuesday.
Ohio State has not confirmed Jones’ destination, but reports say that the linebacker will transfer to Maryland.
An Olney, Maryland native, Jones played in 32 games with Ohio State primarily on special teams and never started a game at linebacker. He recorded 29 total tackles with a tackle for loss: a sack against Tulane on Sept. 22.
Ohio State will have sophomore Baron Browning, sophomore Pete Werner, junior Malik Harrison and redshirt sophomore Tuf Borland returning at linebacker. Freshmen linebackers K’Vaughan Pope, Dallas Gant and Teradja Mitchell will fight for playing time in the middle of the defense as well.
