COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins said that he plans to play in the Rose Bowl against No. 9 Washington.

“I’m playing in the game,” Haskins said.

In an era where many potential first-round NFL Draft picks opt to sit out of bowl games not part of the College Football Playoff, Haskins firmly said he plans to play it what many believe will be his final game in an Ohio State jersey.

“Rose Bowl has a great history,” Haskins said. “A lot of quarterbacks have played in that and it’s a very rich tradition game. I’m looking forward to playing with my teammates.”

There is a high chance that Haskins will be selected as a finalist for the Heisman Trophy after a season where he threw for 4,580 yards and 47 touchdowns.

Ohio State faces a Washington team that beat Utah, 10-3 to win the Pac-12 Championship. The game will be held on January 1.
