A walk-on no longer.
For his entire three-year Ohio State career, Buckeye forward Harrison Hookfin has had to pay his own way as a walk-on. But as of Sunday, that's no longer the case as Hookfin is officially on scholarship.
Chris Holtmann announced the news to the team in the locker room following Ohio State's 61-56 win over Penn State, and the team went properly nuts.
Earned it.
