This Ohio State Buckeyes star has sent a rather strong message to the referees heading into the team's matchup with the Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl.
Star defensive lineman Tyleik Williams seems to think so., Williams bemoaned the lack of holding penalties throughout the season.. “I don’t know what the refs are saying or what’s going on with that. But you turn on the tape and really look at it, we’re held almost every play.”The Buckeyes rank just 134th in the nation in opponent penalties per game, as their foes are only being flagged 3.6 times per contest.
Williams is widely regarded as one of the best interior defensive line prospects heading into the 2025 NFL Draft and has registered 38 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks this season. And while he may be frustrated by the referees, he understands that the Buckeyes cannot allow that to affect their mission.Ohio State will face Texas with a berth in the National Championship Game on the line this Friday.Matthew Schmidt is a sportswriter who covers NFL, MLB, NBA and college football and basketball.
