Dallas Gant Says Leaving Ohio State Was “Hardest Decision I've Ever Made,” But Thinks He’s “Exactly Where I Need to Be” at 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.

Gant is already playing a prominent role in his first season as a Rocket. As Toledo’s starting middle linebacker, Gant has recorded a team-high 20 tackles in the Rockets’ first two games of 2022, leading a defense that has held its first two opponents (LIU and UMass) to only 10 points and 367 yards combined.

The Toledo native, who played at St. John’s Jesuit High School before signing with Ohio State in 2018, feels like his hometown school is where he belongs.
