The Ohio State Buckeyes have been dealt a significant blow as two veteran stars, running back Elijah Carter and defensive end Xavier Robinson, are ruled out for the 2025 season due to injuries. Carter suffered a torn Achilles during offseason training, while Robinson underwent surgery for a shoulder injury sustained in spring camp.
Carter was a key piece of Ohio State’s offense, rushing for over 1,300 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2024, while Robinson was a dominant force on defense, tallying 11 sacks and anchoring the Buckeyes’ pass rush.
Head Coach Ryan Day expressed confidence in the team’s ability to adapt. “Losing Elijah and Xavier is tough, but we have a next-man-up mentality. Our roster is full of talented players ready to step into bigger roles.”
The Buckeyes, perennial College Football Playoff contenders, will rely on their depth and talented underclassmen to maintain their competitive edge as they chase another Big Ten title and a national championship in 2025.
