Any need to speculate on Ohio State’s offseason roster construction came to a sudden end on Wednesday.
The 13-man scarlet and gray ensemble is set, as Oklahoma State transfer Isaac Likekele took the final scholarship spot with his commitment to the Buckeyes, who can now proceed with a plan for the coming season with all the pieces in place (barring walk-ons) on the 2022-23 roster.
Personnel developments have been frequent over the last six weeks and change. Ten scholarship players from 2021-22 have departed the program since the season came to a close, and eight players on next year’s team will be brand new faces in Buckeye uniforms.
