Over the weekend, Torrance Gibson generated some buzz around Buckeye Nation when he tweeted that he was on his way back to Ohio from his hometown in Florida.

Ohio State fans were hopeful that this meant the elite athlete, who was suspended by the university for the fall semester, would return to school and be available for the Scarlet and Gray in 2017.

With the classes beginning again on Monday, reports began to come out that Gibson was not enrolled in classes at Ohio State.

To clarify on Torrance Gibson, I’m still told it is unlikely he returns to Ohio State. — Jeremy Birmingham (@Birm) January 9, 2017

Bucknuts is hearing the same things.

Gibson was a 4-star recruit and the sixth-ranked athlete per the 247Sports Composite in the class of 2015. Coming in as a quarterback, Gibson redshirted his first year on campus as he made the transition to wide receiver. He was expected be a part of the Buckeyes' offense in 2016, but the suspension announcement came out less than a week before the season began and derailed his year before it began.

Bucknuts is currently doing some digging to find out more information on Gibson's situation and his future going forward.
