Not having any inside information on his health, I have no idea whether Ott will even play again this year. Though on the face of it he didn’t appear to have been hurt nearly as badly as Jahvid Best was on his fateful fall, one wonders what’s the timeline for recovery or if there might be some complicated considerations for him to sort through. For instance, we all know that based on his upside Ott could command good money from a top program’s NIL offer if he enters the transfer portal after this year, but only if he’s got a clean bill of health at that juncture. Not playing the rest of this year but being in the best shape possible when suitors come calling is not the most bizarre idea for him to consider. This is the new market reality. But, I suppose you could also argue he’s got to prove he is durable enough to be worth it.
The fall was bad but not season ending. He's going to play again this year and as far as I've seen there's no precedent for players sitting out all but 2 games to command more NIL money from another program; it's silly to suggest Ott would do that his true sophomore year.

Well that's a depressing perspective....
Best left immobilized on a stretcher. Ott walked off on his own. We’ll see him again this year.
