De Qua Russaw Joins Buckeyes | Cleveland News

De Qua Russaw, a versatile pass-rushing defensive standout, has officially transferred to Ohio State, drawn by defensive coordinator Matt Patricia’s scheme and visits that sealed his decision. A fourth-year player with injury setbacks, Russaw is primed to explode off the edge in key roles — including third-down blitzes as a “Buck” and Okie package outside linebacker — blending power and finesse under coach Larry Johnson’s tutelage. Expect his impact to shine early, especially in week two against Texas, as Ohio State builds a more dynamic, interchangeable defense for 2026.
