Ohio State senior defensive tackle Michael Hill has been placed on an indefinite suspension by head coach Urban Meyer. The reason for the suspension has not been explained beyond the typical “violation of team rules” explanation.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer says Michael Hill is suspended for the start of the season. Has not determined the length of the suspension.

Hill’s loss from the depth chart for whatever amount of time should not be something that holds Ohio State back very much. The defensive line is one of the strongest assets the Buckeyes have with a defensive line that is loaded with talent. As noted by Eleven Warriors, Hill was expected to be a backup option to Dre’Mont Jones and Tracy Sprinkle. But any time a player is suspended for any reason causes a bit of a headache that must be addressed.
Hill recorded 20 tackles in the 2016 season in mostly backup and mop-up duty.
