Ohio State has a new full-fledged running back, the program announced on Wednesday following practice.
This time, it was RB TC Caffey, a true freshman out of Hubbard, Ohio. Caffey was a walk-on addition for the Buckeyes, but he has shed his black stripe to become a full member of the program.

As a senior in high school, Caffey rushed for over 2,600 yards and 27 touchdowns. Those marks rank 27th and 20th all-time in Ohio history while averaging 8 yards per carry.
Caffey is an intriguing addition to the Buckeye running back room but it will be interesting to see if he is able to see the field in 2022. Ohio State has a deep backfield led by TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams.
