J.T. Barrett was voted one of the six captains of the reigning national champion Ohio State Buckeyes, the team announced Friday.

Miller was a captain last year and has switched positions to H-Back from quarterback. Powell joins Barrett as the only underclassmen named as a captain.
Barrett’ being voted a captain could be another sign that he leads the race to be named the team’s starting quarterback.
