A Closer Look at the Makeup of Ohio State's Roster

Ohio State’s roster for the 2021 season is loaded with talent, includes a wide variety of experience and is populated with players from all over the country – and even the world.

After bringing in its best recruiting class ever this offseason, the Buckeyes have 16 players who were five-star recruits on their roster this year, as well as 52 players who were composite four-star recruits. And thanks to the NCAA giving all players an extra year of eligibility while also deciding that “super seniors” would not count against the 85-man scholarship limit this year, Ohio State enters this season with even more scholarship players than usual, along with a group of walk-ons that includes several players who could see playing time this season.
