Scholarship Breakdown by Class

Griffin and Wood gone brings us to 78 total and (more importantly) 13 seniors.

Do we know if Vrabel's comment about Rashad Frazier "literally earning" a scholarship was actually to be taken literally?

He'd slot in where Griffin vacated (RS Jr) and bring 2014 returnees back to 66.

Very good work. It is amazing that there are only 13 seniors and even more amazing that there is only 1 DB and 1 LB.

Shouldn't Marshall be a Freshman?

With the talented receivers in Ohio State’s 2014 recruiting class, some might have forgotten about Jalin Marshall. But he is making progress behind the scenes. Coach Urban Meyer mentioned him among several players who has been impressive in bowl practices, and sophomore linebacker Joshua Perry raved about him.

“Man, that kid … he’s a stocky kid who can move,” Perry said. “He’s got all the natural ability and really good body control you look for from a good receiver. He didn’t play this year, but the kid came along really well, and he’s going to have a really bright future.”

I was referring to the previous post. He is listed a non-redshirt sophomore here for next year:

I thought he redshirted this year?

Jalin Marshall, Corey Smith, and Michael Thomas, who all redshirted last season, will also be battling for playing time this season and could greatly help improve the caliber of weapons in the passing game.

I will fix Marshall. I went with the Florida A&M participation report for redshirts and thought I had seen his name there.

(Double checked and his name is on the OSU participation report for that game. However, that is not always accurate and I will defer to SB Nation.)

If everything is correct there (and it looks like it to me), it means we have room at this point in time for a 21-man recruiting class and we are currently at 21. Seems logical that we will likely see some attrition like every team does during the spring and summer. Looks like it's likely going to be a 22-24 man class like everyone has been speculating.

With the incoming kids there are log jams at DB and DL which can generally trigger some movement. Add in the potential for academic issues and career ending injuries and attrition of 3-4 is not unusual. But you likely wont hear about transfer until the end of the semester. And we don't have to be at 82 until the start of class in the fall.

What I also find interesting is that although Meyer has made comments about not redshirting, of the 61 returning players 26 have done so.

As I understand it, a walk on with the same # as Marshall, Devonte Butler, got in at the end of the Fla. A&M game and was erroneously listed as Marshall on the participation report. I don't have the tape of that game so I can't verify but that's the explanation I was given.
