The youngest team in college football is still trying to figure out what it wants to study in the classroom.
While the 2016 Buckeyes have 18 scholar-athletes and five graduate students among them, 44 of them still have freshman eligibilty and 47 of them are still exploring majors.
The football team produced 26 scholar-athletes last season when it was a lot older. A quarter of the team hasn't received a single report card yet. Additionally, none of Ohio State's true freshmen have declared a major, although early enrollee Austin Mack interned at Goldman Sachs over the summer with Joe Burrow and 1st Team Academic All-America Sam Hubbard.
Here is the team breakdown by major:
| Major | Count |
