It isn't a secret: Ohio State remains above the NCAA-mandated scholarship limit with National Signing Day in the books. Urban Meyer and Mark Pantoni probably won't admit it, but they know the Buckeyes have more than 85 players on football scholarships.
“I'm not even sure where today puts us at,” Pantoni, Ohio State's Director of Player Personnel, said on Wednesday.
The Buckeyes signed 12 players on Wednesday, adding to the nine who graduated high school early and enrolled for Spring Semester in January. Roster attrition happens every year to every single program at all levels of any sport but Ohio State's will earn special attention this cycle.
