Linebacker K’Vaughan Pope walked away from Ohio State at the beginning of the 2021 football season, in the middle of a game at that. Now, he’s set to continue his college career at the FCS level, with Tennessee State.
Pope tried to exit the Buckeyes’ game vs. Akron on Sept. 25, 2021, before the team brought him back to the sidelines. From there, he began taking off his gloves and jersey, while shouting things at coaches on the sideline. He was released by the program shortly after the incident.
His wild exit prompted him to enter the transfer portal ahead of the 2022 season. This will be his fifth collegiate season after spending his first four at Ohio State.
