Ohio State junior defensive end Chase Young will miss the Maryland game on Saturday due to a suspension for a potential undisclosed violation of NCAA rules, the university announced Friday.
Young leads the FBS with 13½ sacks and is tied for second with 15½ tackles for loss.
He had tied Ohio State’s single-game records for sacks (four) and tackles for loss (five) in the Buckeyes’ last game, a 38-7 win over Wisconsin on Oct. 26. He needs a half-sack to tie Vernon Gholston’s single-season team record set in 2007.
Young played high school football at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland.
