The Ohio State Buckeyes got a big boost to their offensive line last week when former Louisiana-Monroe offensive lineman Victor Cutler announced that he would be transferring to Ohio State to close out his career, giving the Buckeyes some much-needed experience at the position. But it turns out, he had a small secret that most Ohio States likely didn’t know – he grew up a Michigan fan.
Even though Victor Cutler is coming to Ohio State by way of Monroe, Louisiana, where he’s lived since he was a teenager, he has roots up north. Cutler and his family lived in Detroit, Michigan before moving to Louisiana. And as a result, he grew up a fan of the Michigan Wolverines.
But obviously, that will no longer be the case.
“Being from that state, you’re kind of born and raised to hate that team,” Cutler said about Ohio State, according to Dan Hope of Eleven Warriors. “But now that I’m here, hey, I don’t care about Michigan no more. I’m a Buckeye now.”
Cutler may have grown up rooting for the Wolverines, but now Ohio State will need him to help them turn the tide against Michigan in the rivalry as Jim Harbaugh’s team has now won back-to-back games in the series.
