Now that all 25 members of Ohio State’s recruiting class of 2020 have arrived on campus and momentum is building for actual football practices to resume in less than two months, the Buckeyes’ coaches will soon have to start thinking about which freshmen – and any other potential candidates who still have redshirt eligibility – they will and won’t redshirt this season.
