Former Buckeyes LB Dallas Gant has been in the transfer portal since the middle of last September trying to find a new home.

He didn’t have to look to far.

He will return to Northwest Ohio and finish his college football career in his hometown at the University of Toledo.

As a player for St. John’s Jesuit, Gant was ranked as the No. 10 outside linebacker in the country according to the 2018 247 Sports rankings.

Gant really never had a chance to play with the Buckeyes as injuries at inopportune times allowed younger players to move past him on the depth chart.
