It is always fun to see walk-ons earn their way to a full scholarship, and a name most Ohio State football fans will remember from the spring game just earned his. David Adolph is a third-year wide receiver from local Jerome High School in Dublin, Ohio, and after walking on his first two seasons, will now enter the 2024 season on scholarship.
I know the spring game is just a glorified practice, but we still saw Adolph look extremely good and he has great size at six-foot, five-inches. It is unlikely he gets significant playing time, but we have seen walk-ons in the past make an impact.

Ohio State's wide receiver room is loaded and may seem a little crowded, but it's rarely a bad thing to have extra bodies for certain situations. The Buckeyes added two more
