Jerron Cage returned to Ohio State for a sixth year with the goal of improving his NFL draft stock so he can provide for his son Jerron Jr., who he calls “the light” of his life.
Jerron Cage has been a scholarship player at Ohio State longer than any other member of the 2022 Ohio State football team.
He was a regular in the nose tackle rotation last season, splitting snaps throughout the year with Antwuan Jackson and Ty Hamilton. And he made one of the season’s most memorable plays when he scooped up a fumble and returned it 57 yards for a touchdown in the Buckeyes’ late October win over Penn State.
“Staying another year wasn't for me. It’s to put me in a better spot for next year, for him, so I can take care of him the best way I can,” Cage said. “So that's my only goal. I just want to make sure he has a great life. No struggles. I don’t want him to go through the tough stuff I went through. I just love him to death.”
Cage said there were moments where he wondered if he’d ever get the opportunity to make a big play like he did against Penn State last year. But he continued to believe in himself because of how his teammates have pushed and encouraged him. “I think that when you look at Jerron’s career here, it’s a tribute to him and his hard work,” Day said in November. “He’s a veteran player. He’s somebody who has a mature approach. And I think his teammates respect him when he says something.
