Ryan Smith is used to being associated with the term "Buckeye." After all, the in-state athlete plays at Buckeye High School (Medina, Ohio), where the school mascot is a Buck. Tuesday evening, he announced that he'll continue that trend as he committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes as a preferred walk-on.

"I received the offer on the 10th [of October] and I was absolutely overjoyed," Smith told Eleven Warriors.
