COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Ohio State has announced that star defensive end Chase Young won’t play for the third-ranked Buckeyes Saturday against Maryland. The decision comes amid concerns he violated NCAA rules by taking a loan last year from someone he describes as a “family friend.” The school did not elaborate or give a timetable of how long he might be out, only to say Young is sidelined because of a “possible NCAA issue from last year” the athletic department is “looking into.”The junior leads the nation with 13 1/2 sacks and has become a contender in the Heisman Trophy race.
