Three-star in-state linebacker CJ Sanna commits to Ohio State.
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 |
|---|---|
| Exploring | 47 |
| Sports Industry | 16 |
| Family Resource Management | 11 |
| Communications | 7 |
| Graduate Students | 5 |
| Biology | 3 |
| Criminology | 3 |
| Sociology | 3 |
