College academics: Ohio State continues its improvement in Graduation Success Rate
By Jim Massie

• Graduation numbers are as important to Division I college sports and athletes these days as hand-eye coordination and a healthy diet.
  
  “I think a culture change has happened,” said John P. Bruno, the faculty athletics representative at Ohio State. “Kids have started to understand that the game ends. You better have a degree if you want to move forward with your life and be able to help your family.”
  
  The latest Graduation Success Rate data, announced yesterday by the NCAA, spoke to Bruno’s point about the steady improvement of Ohio State athletes in the classroom in recent years.
  
  Ohio State athletes have a four-year class average (2003-06) of 89 percent in the GSR. That is 4 percentage points better than the average a year ago and 8 points better than the NCAA’s overall Division I average this year.
  
  “If you keep going up each year, it’s either because you dropped a really bad year or your numbers kept inching up,” Bruno said. “We’ve kept adding. It’s been a steady rise. The students have embraced it.”
  
  The GSR can add transfer students, midyear enrollees and certain nonscholarship students to the freshman class. A student-athlete who leaves college in good academic standing is removed from the group.
  
  Football, the centerpiece of Ohio State sports, had a GSR of 75 percent this year. Although that is well below the four-year overall OSU average, it is up 1 percentage point from a year ago and 12 points from three years ago.

Those nine athletes were among 765 total Buckeyes who earned scholar-athlete honors for the 2022-23 academic year, recognizing athletes with grade-point averages of at least 3.0.

That list of scholar-athletes, which can be found on Ohio State’s official athletics website, includes 39 Ohio State football players such as quarterbacks Kyle McCord and Devin Brown, running back TreVeyon Henderson, wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka and left guard Donovan Jackson, among others.

Fifteen current and former Ohio State football players are among 56 Ohio State athletes earning degrees from the university on Sunday.

The list of football players earning degrees from the university on Sunday includes six Buckeyes who started games this season: Wide receivers

Emeka Egbuka and Julian Fleming, tight end Cade Stover, running back Chip Trayanum, linebacker Cody Simon and safety Lathan Ransom. Egbuka earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing in just three years.

Although they are graduating, Simon has announced he will return for a graduate year in 2024 while Egbuka and Ransom have not yet announced whether they will stay at Ohio State for another year or move on to the NFL. Stover is expected to move on to the NFL after the Cotton Bowl.

Fleming and Trayanum will finish their careers elsewhere after entering the transfer portal earlier this month, with Trayanum committing to Kentucky earlier this week.

Other members of Ohio State’s 2023 football team who are graduating on Sunday include offensive linemen Jakob James, Trey Leroux and Enokk Vimahi, defensive end Mitchell Melton, punter Jesse Mirco (who, like Egbuka, graduated in only three years) and tight end Joe Royer. James and Royer have also entered the portal to play elsewhere as graduate transfers next season.

Former Ohio State football players graduating on Sunday included offensive lineman Harry Miller, who retired from football in 2022; offensive lineman Grant Toutant, who retired from football before the 2023 season; and defensive tackle Quinn Pitcock, who graduated through the degree completion program after finishing his Ohio State career in 2006.

Egbuka, Emeka MARKETG-BS
Fleming, Julian HUMDFS-BS
James, Jakob SPRTIND-BS
Leroux, Trey FINANCE-BS
Melton, Mitchell COMM-BA
Miller, Harrison MECHENG-BS
Mirco, Jesse SPRTIND-BS
Pitcock, Quinn FMRESM-BS
Ransom, Latham COMM-BA
Royer, Joseph SPRTIND-BS
Simon, Cody FINANCE-BS
Stover, Cade AGSYSM-BS
Toutant, Grant HUMDFS-BS
Trayanum, Deamonte FMRESM-BS
Vimahi, Enokk HUMDFS-BS

OK, what are HUMDFS and FMRESM degrees?
