WATCH: Two new Ohio State freshmen get black stripes removed
It’s that time of the year.
Each fall camp, Ohio State players come in and get ready to work. They try and impress coaches to get as much playing time as possible for the season ahead.
For freshmen, this is especially true. And at Ohio State, freshmen aren’t true Buckeyes when they first walk through the door. They have to get their black stripes removed off their helmets. It’s a tradition in Columbus.
