Ohio State’s 85-man scholarship roster for the 2018 season is set – at least for now.
With safety Wayne Davis announcing his decision to transfer from the program on Thursday, the Buckeyes are back down to 85 scholarship players – even with former walk-on wide receiver C.J. Saunders being placed on scholarship – and no longer need any more players to leave the team to comply with the NCAA’s scholarship limit.
That doesn’t necessarily mean there won’t be any more transfers between now and September; if there are, Ohio State could opt to reward more walk-ons, particularly if there are others entering their senior years who have proven that they are contributing this upcoming season, like Saunders.
