Preseason camp is officially underway at Ohio State, and the Buckeyes have updated their roster for the 2020 season accordingly.

Ohio State goes into camp with a roster of 120 players, with 85 players on scholarship. The roster includes 16 players who are participating in their first-ever practices as Buckeyes on Thursday: graduate transfer running back Trey Sermon, 11 scholarship freshmen who were not early enrollees and four new walk-ons – Alec Taylor (a former Ohio State baseball player), Cameron Kittle, Marvin Davies and Patrick Gurd (whose father is former Ohio State linebacker Andy Gurd).

A few other Buckeyes have also changed jersey numbers from spring practice, as well. The newly assigned jersey numbers:
