Munger played for Ohio State from 2013-15 but his career was cut short due to a pulmonary embolism. That medical issue also caused him to take a redshirt year during his freshman season in 2013.
Munger arrived at Ohio State after a standout career at Shaker Heights High School in Ohio. He was a consensus 4-star prospect coming out of high school in the class of 2013.
He recorded 5 tackles and 1 tackle for loss during Ohio State’s National Championship campaign back in 2014. His final game with the Buckeyes was a 44-28 win over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, 2016.
