Ohio State named three captains of its football team in January: Quarterback J.T. Barrett, center Pat Elflein and middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan. Friday, Urban Meyer's 2016 team added four more names to its leadership panel.
Joe Burger, Gareon Conley, Billy Price and Tyquan Lewis are also captains for the season, as decided by a team vote and announced via a press release by the program Friday.
