Ohio State redshirt sophomore defensive tackle Noah Potter was listed as unavailable for Saturday’s game at Rutgers and now we know why.

In the middle of the game, the 6-foot-6 and 275-pound Potter tweeted that he underwent emergency eye surgery because of a loss of peripheral vision.

“What a crazy past 24 hours,” Potter said on Twitter. “Thankful for the doctors and everyone’s prayers. Can’t wait to be back soon.”

A former four-star prospect from Mentor, Ohio, Potter has played in eight games since he arrived on campus ahead of the 2019 season, recording two tackles. He has not not appeared in a game this season, however, and will likely miss more time as he recovers from the unexpected surgery.
