A total of 49 Ohio State athletes received degrees from the university on Sunday afternoon.
Those graduates include seven Ohio State football players: Kamryn Babb, Marcus Crowley, Tyler Friday, Zach Harrison, Ronnie Hickman, Paris Johnson Jr. and Ryan Smith. Notably, Johnson – who also participated in Saturday’s Senior Tackle alongside the other graduating Buckeyes – earned his journalism degree from the university in just three years while Babb earned a master’s degree in kinesiology after previously earning a bachelor’s degree in communications.
