Ohio State will have less depth at the safety position for the remainder of the season.

Ohio State coach Ryan Day announced on Thursday that freshman safety Jantzen Dunn sustained a long-term injury during last weekend’s 52-13 victory at Rutgers.

The 6-foot-1, 188-pound Dunn arrived at Ohio State from Bowling Green (Ky.) South Warren. Dunn was ranked as the nation’s 10th-best safety and No. 172 prospect overall in the Class of 2021, according to the 247Sports Composite.

After falling to Oregon in Week 2, Ohio State is currently on a three-game winning streak, with victories vs. Tulsa, Akron, and Rutgers.

Next up for Ohio State is a home matchup vs. conference foe Maryland on Oct. 9 (Noon EST, FOX). Maryland was routed 51-14 by Iowa for its first loss of the season.

Ohio State is 6-0 all-time vs. Maryland.
