Ohio State Long Snapper John Ferlmann Sheds Black Stripe

The man responsible for snapping the ball back to Ohio State’s kicker and punter is now an “official” member of the team.

After already making two starts for the Buckeyes this season at long snapper, John Ferlmann shed his black stripe on Wednesday.

Ferlmann transferred from Arizona State to Columbus in December, taking over the position from Mason Arnold, who handled Ohio State's long snaps in the back half of 2022 following an injury to Bradley Robinson.
