Emeka Egbuka’s decision to return to Ohio State didn’t come easily.
The push and pull between an early-round NFL draft selection and unachieved collegiate ambitions was strong. Egbuka didn’t arrive at a decision until the final hours before he announced his choice on Jan. 11.
Ultimately, it was his faith that guided him back.
“I probably knew I was coming back like a day before I posted that I was,” Egbuka said. “I took all the time I needed with my decision to consult my family, to consult God about it. I feel like, ultimately, the Lord led me to return for another year to do something bigger than just for myself.
