The Buckeyes' 2017 recruiting class is still holding strong atop the national recruiting rankings, but a limited number of available scholarships appears to be presenting some issues within the class.
Last week, the first real discussion about "grayshirting" began when news broke that 2017 running back commit Todd Sibley was asked to delay his enrollment to a later date. The act of taking a grayshirt is pretty much just that. The player isn't on scholarship, isn't a part of the team and obviously is unable to practice or workout with the team. Oftentimes the individual's enrollment – on scholarship – begins during the second semester, typically right after the football season ends.
