The pipeline from Columbus to Chapel Hill is alive and well apparently. For the second-straight day, a former Ohio State defensive player will be transferring to North Carolina.
On Sunday, Lejond Cavazos made the jump from scarlet and gray to Carolina Blue, and Monday, defensive lineman Jacolbe Cowan announced he too will be headed to tobacco road.
Cowan, a Charlotte, North Carolina native, committed to Ohio State as a four-star prospect in the 2020 class. His playing time was limited by injury and by the COVID-19 pandemic, and with an influx of talented guys on the defensive line, Cowan’s spot as an integral part of Larry Johnson’s room seemed to be unsettled.
