Dallas Gant said leaving Ohio State was “probably the hardest decision I've ever made in my life,” but he believes he’s “exactly where I need to be” after transferring to Toledo.
Just under one year after he decided to leave Ohio State and enter the transfer portal, Dallas Gant will be back at Ohio Stadium this weekend when the Buckeyes host Toledo on Saturday night.
“I don't think I would be half the player I was if I went anywhere else,” Gant said in a phone interview on Monday. “I think that the coaches there are incredible. I think that the players are phenomenal. I think playing against the best is a great opportunity every day for practice. And molded me into the person that I am and the player that I am.
Dallas Gant played for Ohio State from 2018-21 before leaving the team last September to enter the transfer portal. “I think that it's an opportunity for all of our players and all of our coaches to showcase what we can do on Saturday night,” Gant said. “Obviously I have personal ties to this game, but I think that anybody in the country would have this game circled just because of the opportunity that you have, and just the excitement level of being in this great atmosphere and stuff like that.”
