Preferred Walk-Ons?
Any rumblings about preferred walk-ons in this class?
Are there any Ohio kids of note that didn't sign anywhere yet?

Nothing recent, but I did hear George Tabron was interested a while back.

A friend of mine at Hilliard Davidson said that FB Bo Delande is a prefered walk-on at OSU. Can anyone confirm this?

Delande is a name I've heard as well...it still might be a little early to know who will be getting those spots.

Many kids are preferred walk ons. There will be a few regular walk ons that should be on the roster in the next few weeks. Keep checking the roster on www.ohiostatebuckyes.com .

Anyway, I read if you're related to somebody who has played at Ohio State, they will put you on their practice squad. But that doesn't mean you'll dress for the games though. When I go to Ohio State to major in Sports Journalism, this is what I am going to do. I won't stop there, because I will try to dress and make the team.

What is a preferred walk-on? Is it any different than a regular walk-on?

The player is assured a spot on the team, however the university does ont have a scholarship available for that student. There isn't much difference between a preferred walk-on and a regular one. Some walk-ons from the last couple of years are Will Crall, Andrew Moses, Ben Kacsandi, Joe Gantz, Marcus Williams, Josh Kerr and Kyle Libby. I only remember Kerr and Moses having the "preferred" label, meaning their spots were guaranteed.

I seem to recall that Piqua safety Bryant Fox is also planning on walking on.
