The phrase The Ohio State is not common.

The name means the State of the Ohio river.

Ohio, state of the north-central United States in the Great Lakes region. It was admitted as the 17th state in 1803.

refer to grammar:

the word 'state' not used, then no need to use 'The' anymore.

ex:Ohio (THE is not only not, but can't be used at all)
