Although Chris Booker won’t get the opportunity to play another season at Ohio State, he’s hoping his football career isn’t done yet.
The former walk-on wide receiver and special teams ace had hoped to play one more season with the Buckeyes in 2022, and was told by Ryan Day and Brian Hartline he would be placed on scholarship if he received an additional year of eligibility. But after already using the extra year of eligibility that all players received from the NCAA last year, Booker’s petition for one more year of eligibility was denied.
Booker believes he has what it takes to continue playing football professionally, however, and he’ll look to prove that at Wednesday’s Ohio State pro day, where he’ll work out for NFL scouts and put his skills on display.
