The former walk-on wide receiver and special teams ace had hoped to play one more season with the Buckeyes in 2022, and was told by Ryan Day and Brian Hartline he would be placed on scholarship if he received an additional year of eligibility. But after already using the extra year of eligibility that all players received from the NCAA last year, Booker’s petition for one more year of eligibility was denied.

Booker believes he has what it takes to continue playing football professionally, however, and he’ll look to prove that at Wednesday’s Ohio State pro day, where he’ll work out for NFL scouts and put his skills on display.

“I know in my heart that I am good enough,” Booker told Eleven Warriors last week. “And I also know that I have things waiting for me if football doesn't work out. But I know that football is what I want to do right now.”

“I know in my heart that I am good enough,” Booker told Eleven Warriors in March. “And I also know that I have things waiting for me if football doesn't work out. But I know that football is what I want to do right now.”

Booker is getting his chance to realize his NFL dream, and he’ll look to parlay his excellence on special teams – usually a prerequisite to making a team as an undrafted free agent – into earning a spot on the Cardinals’ roster.

CHRIS BOOKER → XFL? Former Ohio State walk-on wide receiver and special teams ace Chris Booker told Eleven Warriors in March that he wishes to continue his football career in the professional ranks after his petition for an extra year of collegiate eligibility was denied.

Booker’s wish could come true in 2023 if he is selected by an XFL franchise from the Player Draft Pool, an assortment of athletes the league has deemed talented enough to compete in the league.
