Dallan Hayden is the second of Ohio State’s summer arrivals to shed his black stripe.
Ohio State might need Dallan Hayden to be ready to play as a true freshman, and the Buckeyes are showing their faith in him that he will be ready to do so.
Two weeks before Ohio State’s season opener against Notre Dame, Hayden had his black stripe removed, becoming the second of this year’s summer enrollees to “officially” become a Buckeye. The stripe removal is just the latest indicator that Hayden is off to a strong start in his first camp as a Buckeye. Just two days into camp, Hayden drew praise from Ohio State running backs coach Tony Alford for his. After Ohio State’s first scrimmage of the spring last weekend, Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said Hayden “popped a couple really good runs, which is good to see.”
“He's learning, freshman, a little bit overwhelmed, but he's got some speed and explosiveness,” Wilson said of Hayden.season-ending knee injury this past week. While TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams will likely see the vast majority of meaningful carries this season as Ohio State’s top two running backs, Hayden is now in line to be the Buckeyes’ third tailback, making him a potentially important player if any more injuries occur at the position.“I feel like I'm getting better each and every day,” Hayden said on Aug. 5. “Everything Coach Alford’s doing is for a reason, for sure.
