Yep, I was just hoping that it would be something that teams could file an appeal for on the athletes behalf.

I think 11w may be accurate. Have to take into account that Sevyn Banks changed to #15 midway through the year and a statistician could be mixing up the two. But I'm like 99.99% sure Jaylen only played in 3 games in 2018.

I really hope they can correct that, because OSU's participation reports are generally rough to say the least.
Meanwhile Kam Babb was the #17 on the Michigan game roster. Olave had been wearing it for awhile. Kam has not suited up for a single moment of practice in pads in that number.

THIRD-YEAR RESET: JAYLEN HARRIS STILL COMPETING FOR FIRST SIGNIFICANT PLAYING TIME IN OHIO STATE'S WIDE RECEIVER ROTATION
Ohio State’s recruiting class of 2017 is entering a pivotal season.
Those Buckeyes are entering their third season in Columbus, which means they’re expected to be ready to play significant roles for Ohio State if they haven’t already. Each of them now have two years as Ohio State players under their belts, and by the end of the upcoming season, all of them will be on the back end of their careers while some of them will have decisions to make about whether it’s time to go to the NFL.
With that in mind, Eleven Warriors is taking an individual look this offseason at each of Ohio State’s third-year players – in descending order of their 247Sports composite recruiting rankings – and the expectations that preceded their Ohio State careers, how they have performed in their first two seasons as Buckeyes and the outlook for the remainder of their careers.
The 11th installment of the Third-Year Reset brings us to Jaylen Harris, who is looking to earn a place in Ohio State’s wide receiver rotation after two quiet seasons to begin his career with the Buckeyes.
BEFORE HE BECAME A BUCKEYE
Harris emerged as one of the best players in the state of Ohio during his career at Cleveland Heights High School, catching 95 passes for 1,666 yards and 13 touchdowns in his final two high school seasons and earning first-team All-Ohio honors in his senior year.
A basketball player at Cleveland Heights as well, Harris was named as the High School Athlete of the Year at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards in 2017.
Harris was ranked as the fourth-best prospect from the state of Ohio, the 28th-best wide receiver and the No. 177 overall prospect in his recruiting class.
CAREER TO DATE
Harris made his debut in Ohio State’s fourth game of the 2017 season against UNLV, and also played in each of the Buckeyes’ next two games against Rutgers and Maryland. In 43 snaps between those three games, Harris caught two passes for 27 yards. After missing time due to an injury, however, Harris did not play in any additional games as a true freshman.
Last season, Harris played in three of Ohio State’s first four games for a total of 40 snaps, catching two passes for 22 yards. After that, however, Harris’ only playing time the rest of the season came in the fourth quarter of the Buckeyes’ loss to Purdue – for six snaps – after Austin Mack left the game with a foot injury. That injury proved to be season-ending for Mack, opening the door for Harris to potentially take his place in the receiver rotation, but that playing time ended up going to freshman Chris Olave instead.
As a result of the new rules allowing players to participate in up to four games and still redshirt if they have not redshirted already, Harris was granted a redshirt last season and remains a sophomore in eligibility.

6 Buckeye Football Players Facing Important Springs: Offense
Spring practice might not be the most high-profile time of year for college football teams, but for many players it can define their career.
Once the team gets more than a week or two into fall camp, the focus starts shifting toward the season.
Once the season starts, the focus is almost entirely on the next week’s game.
But spring ball is different. The previous season’s seniors and NFL Draft departees are gone, leaving not just open slots on the depth chart, but opportunity in their wake.
All the snaps taken last fall by guys like J.K. Dobbins, Chase Young, and Jeff Okudah are now up for grabs. That opens up chances for talented younger players like Master Teague, Zach Harrison, and Cameron Brown who played a part-time role in 2019 to rise up and claim a bigger spot on the 2020 Buckeyes.
It’s also a chance for some players who have been around for a few years, but not yet made their mark to start doing so.
Ohio State is annually among the top programs in the nation for attracting talented high school stars. That’s great for the Buckeyes on the whole – fantastic high school players often turn into fantastic college players.
But for guys who are still fighting for a spot on the two-deep after a couple seasons in the program, those freshmen represent another group of talented competition trying to beat them out for a spot on the field.
A player’s third or fourth spring in the program can be the difference between finally winning a spot in the rotation, like Baron Browning and Amir Riep did in 2019, and getting totally buried on the depth chart.
Here’s a look at six players on offense facing very important springs entering their third year or later, with the opportunity to take the next step toward earning regular playing time.
WR Jaylen Harris, Senior
That’s a picture of Harris and Gardiner together at the top of this article, and the two of them are in very similar spots entering the spring.
Harris, like Gardiner, is a big-bodied receiver who seemed destined for a career full of jump-ball touchdowns over smaller corners. But like Gardiner, it hasn’t really happened yet for Harris.
He played in three games as a true freshman in 2017, catching two passes for 27 yards. He had another two catches for 22 yards as a sophomore in 2018. Harris saw action on offense in nine games last fall, but only had a 5-yard reception against Cincinnati to show for it.
This spring, outside receivers Austin Mack and Binjimen Victor are both off to the NFL. The younger guys mentioned above haven’t yet established themselves. This spring is Harris’ chance to earn a regular spot in the rotation.

Your favorite forgotten pass rusher
Kj hill, Ben victor, Austin Mack, mclaurin Campbell, Dixon never gave this guy a chance. The only wideouts who stepped in front of him in terms of age was olave and Wilson, and those two were the obvious choice for playing time because they added needed speed.
I’m just inferring that this guy could possible be about unguardable at 6”5 in many situations.

WIDE RECEIVER JAYLEN HARRIS
During the first – and only – week of spring practices, Harris ran with the first-team offense. He had the unenviable task of holding off a cast of fast-charging underclassmen hoping to overtake him. Since spring practices got cut short, though, they never jumped him on the depth chart. Whether or not that would’ve happened, no one truly knows.
But now, Harris will likely begin preseason camp as a first-team wide receiver with less time for someone to leap him. Though the senior only has five career catches, he’ll probably enter August still running with the starters in practice.

Re: Jaylen Harris searching for role in final season for Buckeyes, he’s looking to build off the lone catch he had a year ago.
I wish him the best; however, his primary "role(s)" could very well be on special teams, on the scout team, and "senior leadership", etc.

Agreed. And big on him to even stay this long with no clear PT in sight. Get that degree, finish the season strong, and maybe catch on as a grad transfer and put up a year of decent stats
