Just because a player signs and enrolls at Ohio State does not mean he is a part of the football team. Since Urban Meyer's arrival, black stripes have been placed on the helmets incoming freshmen. They aren't removed until that freshman proves his worth.
Today, Isaiah Prince, a highly-recruited tackle from Maryland who was the final commitment in the "Elite '15" recruiting class, became the newest members of the Ohio State football team.
Congrats to OL Isaiah Prince for being the first member of the freshmen class to get his black stripe removed!

Congrats to Prince on the massive accomplishment.
