Chase Young is being held out by Ohio State football on Saturday against Maryland. Will we get to see Young play another snap in college?
Star defensive end Chase Young will be held out Saturday against Maryland. Details are still unclear on why Young is being held out, but the NCAA is now investigating violations. The violations that Young have committed seem to be smaller violations nonetheless, the investigation should tell us more about what happened and how long he will be out.
Ohio State still has four games left in the regular season and could play up to six if they make it to the College Football Championship. It should be noted that Young has not been suspended by the NCAA or Ohio State and instead is being held out as a precaution in order to play the rest of the year.
This is a self-reported incident by Ohio State and was not found by the NCAA. Self-reported incidents are usually given a more lenient sentence as programs look to control their institution.
The reaction across social media has been wild as many famous Ohio State alum and Hollywood stars voiced their opinion. This suspension coming in the wake of the NCAA voting to look to pay athletes seems all too ironic and could play a role in the amount of suspension that Young is given. We look at the top reactions from across the college football world and beyond on the Chase Young news.
Here are some of the top tweets of the day.
A source close to Chase Young tells me the “family friend” who loaned him the money is not an agent or a booster. #OhioState https://t.co/6dSYEi61Kv

Chase Young made a mistake, but let’s not act like he committed murder and Ohio State is cheating.

He broke a dumb NCAA rule that was so dumb they decided to change it.
