Notable players on the list include Ronnie Hickman, who is a redshirt junior in terms of eligibility despite being academically senior, and Marcus Crowley and Harry Miller, who will both walk on senior day even if they both retired from football during the off-season due to medical reasons.
In addition to Hickman, players on the Senior Day roster who still have one year of eligibility left thanks to the extra year of eligibility the NCAA granted to all players in 2020 include Kamryn Babb, Taron Vincent, Javontae Jean- Baptiste, Zach Harrison, Xavier Johnson, Palaie Gaoteote, Cameron Brown, Josh Proctor, Tyler Friday, Matt Jones and Dawand Jones. While walking Senior Day doesn’t guarantee they’ll leave Ohio State after this season — Brown, Mitch Rossi and Bradley Robinson all walked last year before opting to return to Ohio State for another season — it’s an indicator that they’re all at least thinking about leaving Ohio State after this year.
Hickman is the only redshirt junior on the Senior Day roster. While Ohio State could also lose several true redshirt juniors and sophomores to the NFL Draft — namely CJ Stroud, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Paris Johnson Jr. — these Buckeyes are not eligible. to participate in the Senior Day festivities as they are only in their third year. from college.
Ohio State’s senior day recognition will take place in a pre-game ceremony before Saturday’s final home game of the season, as is tradition. Unlike in previous years, however, Ohio State will not be holding its Senior Tackle on Thursday, as Ryan Day said on Monday’s Buckeye Roundtable that he and the team’s executive committee decided jointly to hold this year’s Senior Tackle during bowl practices in December, as the Buckeyes want to focus as much as possible this week on beating Michigan, while Day also wants players to be able to hang out with their family at Thanksgiving.
“We have so much to do on this game, we just want to make sure the focus is on the North team,” Day said on Monday.
