According to Barnes' Instagram, the Louisville safety has decided to transfer to Ohio State.

After much thought and prayer I have decided to leave the University of Louisville Football program and transfer to The Ohio State University as a Graduate student-athlete. I want to sincerely thank all of my friends, teammates and coaches for supporting me throughout my career at Louisville. I would not be where I am today without you. I am excited to officially be a part of the Ohio State football family and proud to be a buckeye

An Ohio State football player is making history by going for his PhD

Jarrod Barnes is a rarity to the Buckeyes' football program.

Jarrod Barnes is one of a kind.

The 22-year-old student athlete is the first-ever Ohio State football player who is also a PhD candidate, according to school records.

Barnes has quite an impressive story both on and off the field. Before coming to Ohio State, he earned a bachelor's degree from Louisville in just three yearswhile he was a member of the Cardinals' football team.

After graduating from Louisville in June 2015, he enrolled in the Masters of Science in Sport Management program at Ohio State. Since Barnes had red-shirted his freshman year, he still had two years of football eligibility left, so he tried out for the football team -- and made it as a walk-on.

Despite juggling football and a full slate of heavy-hitting classes, Barnes graduated in one year with a 3.67 GPA and was accepted into the PhD program.
