After a postseason ban, Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes were ready for their first full season in 2013. Ryan Shazier, now in his junior year, led the charge on defense, racking up 143 total tackles, including 22.5 tackles for loss, the second-best mark in program history. Nearly 25% of his tackles came behind the line of scrimmage.

After leading the conference in tackles, Shazier earned First Team Big Ten and First Team All-American honors in 2013. He was also named a finalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award for the Most Outstanding Defensive Player in college football.

This fall hasn't been a normal one for anybody in this country.

The coronavirus pandemic didn't stop 51 current and former Ohio State athletes from graduating from the university following the Autumn 2020 semester.

Former linebacker Ryan Shazier, point guard CJ Walker, center Josh Myers, former cornerback Jeff Okudah, defensive tackle Haskell Garrett, former offensive lineman Alex Boone, wing Musa Jallow and linebacker Tuf Borland were among those to earn degrees from their university during Sunday's virtual commencement ceremony.

In total, seven former Buckeye athletes returned to school to take classes and finish their classwork through the degree completion program set up by the athletic department in 1994: Shazier, Boone, Okudah, Connor Curlis (baseball), Sam Jardine (men’s hockey), Isaiah Prince (football) and C.J. Saunders (football). Saunders, who earned a Master's Degree in kinesiology, is currently working on the football staff in an unannounced capacity after having his sixth-year waiver denied by the NCAA earlier this year.
