Ohio State added a couple more “official” Buckeyes on Thursday as freshmen Harry Miller and Jameson Williams shed their black stripes.
Miller, a former five-star center out of Burford, Georgia, has been drawing rave reviews since before he even arrived in Columbus and was working out as the second-team center on Wednesday's practice.
“I don’t know if he should be, but I think he has the ability to be," Day said when asked if Miller would be a contributor this season. "He has to continue to grow as the season moves on. I do see him getting on the field."

Williams, a former four-star receiver out of St. Louis, was the first new receiver to commit to Brian Hartline after taking over as Ohio State's receivers coach and possesses a rare speed and quickness that's drawn comparisons to Ted Ginn Jr.
He's been flashing all over the field. @1of1juiceman got his stripe off today#GoBucks #ToughLove #Zone6 pic.twitter.com/GLvSY734HC
