The Praters are twin brothers from West Lafayette, Ohio. Zach was a first-team All-Ohio selection while Bryce was a second-team All-Ohio selection for the Ridgewood Generals as seniors in high school last year.
The Praters are the first Buckeyes to lose their black stripes since Zen Michalski did so last week, and are now the 12th and 13th Ohio State players to lose their black stripes since the 2021 season officially began.
