There's yet another "official" Buckeye as redshirt freshman Zaid Hamdan became the latest to shed his black stripe on Saturday.
Hamdan is a native of Mason, Ohio and joined the Buckeyes in January of 2018 after being invited as a walk-on. He earned all-Ohio honors in his final two seasons at William Mason High School where he also was a four-year member of the school's wrestling program.
"I want to shout out my unit. Thank you guys for getting me through everything. All my old heads — BB, Chase, Davon, and Jashon. I want to thank coach Mick for getting me right in the weight room every day. I want to thank Stew, Solo, and the rest of the training staff for getting me right after my injury. Let's get this next Saturday. Go Bucks!"
