In a monumental move for Buckeye Nation, Ohio State football legend Eddie George is returning to Columbus as the new offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes. Known for his iconic playing career and leadership on and off the field, George’s return to Ohio State marks an exciting new chapter for the program.
George, who starred as a running back for the Buckeyes from 1992 to 1995, won the 1995 Heisman Trophy after a historic season in which he rushed for 1,927 yards and 24 touchdowns. His career remains etched in Buckeye lore, and his impact on the program has only grown over the years.
“It’s an honor to come back to the place that shaped me into the man I am today,” George said in a statement. “Ohio State has always been home, and I’m excited to help this team build on its rich tradition of excellence. Buckeye fans, get ready—we’re going to bring something special to the field.”
Head coach Ryan Day praised George’s hiring, emphasizing his deep understanding of the game and his ability to connect with players. “Eddie embodies what it means to be a Buckeye,” Day said. “His leadership, football IQ, and passion for this program make him the perfect person to lead our offense into the future.”
George’s appointment comes as the Buckeyes continue their pursuit of Big Ten dominance and another shot at the College Football Playoff. Fans are eager to see how the Heisman winner’s unique perspective and leadership will shape the team’s offensive strategy.
