'16 & '17 Upset Contest Winner
Here are the 22 incoming scholarship freshmen. Walk-ons aren't included in this contest, and Cardale Jones will be at Fork Union for the fall.

Place every name in one of 2 categories: Plays in 2011 or Redshirts in 2011. You get 1 point for each correct answer.

This contest is open until 11:59 pm ET on August 7th. You can edit your picks until the Sunday night deadline, but if you edit your picks, your latest timestamp will be used for the tiebreaker. If you edit after August 7th, you're disqualified.

At the end of the season (after the bowl game), I'll give v$500,000 to whomever has the most points. In the case of a tie, whoever posted first (including timestamps for editing) will be the winner.

2009 - DaddyBigBucks.
2010 - BigJim

my guesses for guys who play before camp would've been:

B.Miller
D.Smith
J.Heuerman
B.Bobek
A.Underwood
S.Miller
C.Farris
M.Bennett
R.Shazier
C.Grant
D.Grant
J.Cash
B.Haynes

now I would probably put Spencer in there, take off Farris, and maybe put Ron Tanner on there too. I think Curtis Grant and Joel Hale are definitely borderline, but I can't see Grant wanting to redshirt. He'll at least play special teams and could be the backup MIKE in week one with Whiting out.

To redshirt, or not to redshirt

In the Jim Tressel era, Ohio State typically played about half its freshman class and redshirted half.

Here?s a stab at how it might work out with this group of 22 freshmen:
Should play: QB Braxton Miller; DL Michael Bennett; LB Ryan Shazier; TE Jeff Heuerman; DL Joel Hale; C Brian Bobek; CB Doran Grant; LB Curtis Grant; WR Devin Smith; OL Antonio Underwood; S Ron Tanner.
Potential redshirt: S Jeremy Cash; CB DerJuan Gambrell; LB Conner Crowell; LS Bryce Haynes; OL Tommy Brown; OL Chris Carter; DL Chase Farris; DL Kenny Hayes; DL Steve Miller; WR Evan Spencer; TE Nick Vannett.
