Two more freshman became "official" members of the Ohio State football team on Wednesday as quarterback Matthew Baldwin and defensive end Alex Williams lost their black stripes.
Baldwin is a four-star quarterback from Lake Travis, Texas. He committed to the Buckeyes late in the recruiting cycle and tore his ACL soon after. Baldwin has been recovering from the injury ever since, but seems to have recovered.

Williams, a three-star defensive end from local Pickerington North High School, also battled injuries after his arrival on campus, but seems to have recovered.
