Ohio State Football: More good news with these black stripes removed

Three more Ohio State football players have earned their stripes by losing one. Defensive end Tyreke Smith, running back Master Teague and tight end Jeremy Ruckert lost their black stripes yesterday and now are officially Buckeyes.

That’s good news for the team, not only because each of these players could provide depth in their unit this year but it makes nine true freshmen who have already lost their black stripes.

In a recent article by David Wertheim of Eleven Warriors, he provided a list of the players who have lost their black stripes so far this year if you want to check it out.
