Urban Meyer announces DT Michael Hill suspended for ‘few’ games
Published:
One Ohio State defensive lineman will be suspended for a “few” games this season, according to Urban Meyer.
During Meyer’s press conference on Monday afternoon, he announced that defensive tackle Michael Hill would be suspended, but didn’t elaborate on the number of games and didn’t provide a reason for the suspension.
Meyer said that DT Michael Hill has been suspended for a "few" games. Didn't elaborate on why. Hill graduated yesterday.

According to Bill Rabinowitz of the Dispatch, Hill graduated on Sunday.
It’s hard to know a time frame considering Meyer was vague with his description of the situation, but if Hill is punished by a multiple-game suspension, he will miss Ohio State’s season opener against Indiana and the Buckeyes’ home-opening showdown against Oklahoma the following week.
Ohio State then rounds out its non-conference schedule with Army and UNLV the following two weeks.
Hill is coming off a 2016 campaign in which he tallied 21 total tackles and recorded three stops for loss. He’s accounted for 36 total tackles in his career.
