Ohio State DE Alex Williams transfers to Vanderbilt

Ohio State defensive end Alex Williams has found his transfer destination and it’s in the SEC. News circulated on January 15 that the 6-7, 250 lb. freshman planned to enter the transfer portal. Though there’s not a whole lot of details available for a reason of moving on from the program, it’s likely Williams got buried on the depth chart of a talented and deep defensive line.

Add that to the fact that there needs to be some attrition for OSU to get down the scholarship limit of 85, and what you see is what you get. Williams, from the local Pickerington North High School, had a total of eight tackles during his redshirt freshman year last season.

Now, it appears Williams has found his destination and is ready to play for coach Derek Mason down at Vanderbilt. He announced the move on his Instagram account Thursday.

Williams was very complimentary of his short time at Ohio State, and there’s no doubt Buckeye nation will be rooting for him as he continues his dream down in the SEC.
