We take a by-the-numbers look at Ohio State’s loaded 2024 roster, which includes 14 five-star and 54 four-star recruits and 23 players with 550+ snaps of collegiate experience.
You probably already know this if you’ve been paying attention to Ohio State’s offseason, but the Buckeyes’ 2024 roster is loaded.
Ohio State actually has 10 fewer four-star recruits on its 2024 roster than it did in 2023, but there’s no shortage of quality players within the Buckeyes’ four-star contingent. The only three Ohio State players who started their Buckeye careers as scholarship players that did not receive at least three stars as recruits were tight end Will Kacmarek, who transferred to Ohio State this offseason after starting his career at Ohio; long snapper John Ferlmann, who transferred to OSU last offseason from Arizona State; and punter Nick McLarty, who did not receive a composite recruiting rating as he joined the Buckeyes by way of ProKick Australia.
Transfers who are expected to play major roles for Ohio State this season include Downs and Igbinosun, who will both start in the secondary; Howard and McLaughlin, who are looking to lock down the starting quarterback and center jobs; Judkins and Kacmarek, who are expected to see regular playing time at running back and tight end regardless of whether they start; and Ferlmann, the Buckeyes’ top long snapper. Anthony Venneri is also competing to be the Buckeyes’ top punter this season.
