Ohio State Running Back Miyan Williams Hints At Return For 2023 Season

The Buckeyes' leading rusher said he has "unfinished business" in multiple posts on social media.

Ohio State redshirt sophomore running back Miyan Williams posted on Twitter and Instagram on Thursday that he has “unfinished business,” suggesting that he will return to Columbus for another season rather than enter the 2023 NFL Draft.

The 5-foot-9 and 225-pound Williams – who has three seasons of eligibility remaining – was the Buckeyes’ leading rusher this season with 825 yards and 14 touchdowns, including a two-yard run that gave them a 14-7 lead over Georgia in the second quarter of last weekend’s Peach Bowl.

He’s battled injuries all season, including those to his wrist, knee and ankle that kept him out of two games and limited him in three others, as well as the “stomach bug” in the days leading up to the loss to the Bulldogs, a game he ultimately finished with just eight yards and the score on three carries.

Williams will be one of at least four scholarship running backs on the roster next season, including TreVeyon Henderson, who had season-ending foot surgery last month; redshirt freshman Evan Pryor, who missed the entire year with a knee injury; and freshman Dallan Hayden. 

Junior Chip Trayanum, who began the season at linebacker but moved to running back as injuries piled up for Ohio State, could also remain at the position. That would put the Buckeyes right at their target number of five scholarship running backs despite not signing one in the class of 2023.
