Pittman granted release from Buckeyes

By Tim May
Defensive end Se?von Pittman no longer is a member of the Ohio State football team, an athletic department spokesman confirmed for The Dispatch tonight.

Pittman, who redshirted as a freshman last season, asked for his release and it was granted, the spokesman said. The spokesman did not give a reason for the move.

Sources told The Dispatch it had to do with an off-the-field issue, and that Pittman was looking for a fresh start. While Pittman could not be reached for comment, sources said he was considering a transfer to Louisville if it can be worked out.

Pittman had made news in December 2011 when he opted to decommit from Michigan State and pledge to Ohio State and Meyer, who had just taken the Ohio State job and was on a whirlwind recruiting cycle to upgrade the 2012 class. But Pittman, who enrolled in time to take part in spring drills last year, suffered a knee injury in the spring and did not play last season.

If it was an "off-field issue", unless it happened in the past few weeks, would have been nice to know he was planning to leave a month ago and we would be sitting here today with a punter, another o-lineman or maybe even another skill player in this year's class. Bad timing. I guess better now than right before the season starts. Best of luck to you. Sucks we never got to see you don the S&G in action.

It does suck to see him leave, but we do have young depth at the position, dont think his lose will hurt all that much. Especially when bosa gets to campus, and we always have the option to move jamal marcus down and still have tyquan lewis already on campus.

? ?Pitt? is a fantastic talent and when he decides to commit himself to the appropriate things to be a successful college student-athlete, I?m sure he will meet that same success again,? said former McKinley head coach Ron Johnson, who was Pittman?s high school coach. ?Hopefully he gets into another program soon. I know there will be people out there who will want his talent and help him meet the goals he established for himself.?
