SKULL SESSION: HOW TEAMS COULD USE EXTRA SCHOLARSHIPS

TODAY I LEARNED... I feel like it's going to take me a solid half a decade to fully grasp all the rule changes, waivers, and ramifications of the NCAA giving every player another year of eligibility.

But here's a new one I hadn't heard: turns out, a team gets the extra roster spots for a senior whether that senior returns or not.

The NCAA is allowing schools to go over the limit by however many fourth-year seniors or redshirt seniors were on the 2020 roster.

“For us, we’ve got 85 scholarships and then we’ve got six seniors that decided to stay, so we’re technically at 91,” the first source said. “Let’s say you wanted to hold six spots from seniors, but you wanted to stay at 85 and not go over. There were schools that said, ‘I don’t want to risk it with this kid in the 2021 class and I want to save those spots for the 2022 class.’ Technically you could’ve done that.”

Thanks for doing the legwork.

I think I have things current, but am also checking against 11Ws "State of the Position" series as it rolls out.

Amazing that of 86 kids on schollie 55 are categorized as Frosh for eligibility.

Only 7 seniors and two of those are recent transfers.

With the latest edition of The Big Board (see above), our unofficial count for Ohio State on scholarships would be 83. That number includes both Ewers and Gaoteote being on scholarship for the 2021 season.

The current class breakdown would be:

* 11 seniors, including Gaoteote;

* 13 juniors, including North Carolina kicker transfer Noah Ruggles;

* 19 sophomores;

* 17 redshirt freshmen; and

* 23 freshmen, including Ewers.

To arrive at these numbers, we used the eligibility for the players on OSU’s published fall camp roster. Including walk-ons and “super seniors,” OSU lists 117 players for the preseason camp roster. OSU advanced each player who played in more than four games last year a season of eligibility.

After several years of maintaining this chart I am stepping aside in favor of a similar chart from Eleven Warriors at this link:

https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/scholarship-grid

Their new format is based on "recruiting class" rather than "eligibility year" (Senior, Junior, etc.), which - particularly with the extra COVID year - makes more sense. They are also doing a better job of keeping it current than I was.

There are at least a handful of others who may or may not be back in 2022 as they could explore “super senior” status. These are players who receive an extra season of eligibility because the 2020 season was impacted by Covid. Kicker Noah Ruggles has announced his intention to return with that super senior status. Oklahoma State transfer CB Tanner McCalister will also be using a super senior season.

It is unclear which others could pursue that route. Those eligible to return for one more year would include DT Jerron Cage, LB Teradja Mitchell, LB Palaie Gaoteote and CB Sevyn Banks. While the NCAA did not count super seniors against the 85-man scholarship limit in 2021, barring a legislation change they will count in 2022.

Ryan Day will be back for his fourth full year as the Ohio State head coach. He will have roughly six returning starters on both sides of the ball from the 2021 team that went 11-2 and defeated Utah in the Rose Bowl.

At last check, Ohio State was still working through its processes to firm up the exact number of players coming back for 2022.

Ohio State football transfers to come
Updated: Apr. 07, 2022,

Two recent departures from Ohio State football’s roster still leave the Buckeyes over the scholarship limit as the end of spring practice nears.

Ohio State stands at 88 scholarships following the transfer announcements of Lejond Cavazos and Bryson Shaw earlier this week. It must be at 85 by the start of the season. More attrition, however, will come in the weeks and months ahead. What does the current roster makeup tell us about where those changes will happen, and where does the imbalance potentially affect the team OSU will put on the field?
