Another two members of Ohio State's freshman class have "officially" become Buckeyes.

Scholarship linebacker Tommy Eichenberg and walk-on quarterback J.P. Andrade became the 14th and 15th true freshmen to lose their black stripes this year following the Buckeyes' practice on Wednesday.

Eichenberg, a four-star recruit out of Cleveland's St. Ignatius High School, saw his first game action on the Buckeyes' final defensive snap of their 76-5 win over Miami (Ohio) on Saturday after missing time in preseason camp with an injury.

Andrade is a walk-on quarterback from La Verne, California, who also joined the Buckeyes this summer. He has not seen any playing time for the Buckeyes, but drew praise from quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Mike Yurcich last week for the effort he has put in on the scout team, where he has also lined up at wide receiver.
