A total of 48 current and former Ohio State athletes, including 20 football players, are receiving degrees from the university on Sunday.
The current and former football Buckeyes who will receive degrees at Ohio State’s autumn commencement are Kamryn Babb (communications), Sevyn Banks (communications), Chris Booker (psychology), Jerron Cage (consumer and family financial services), Jaylen Harris (communications), Antwuan Jackson (sociology), Xavier Johnson (consumer and family financial services), Matthew Jones (human development and family science), Andy Katzenmoyer (personalized study program in social studies), Chris Kuhn (construction systems), Austin Kutscher (human development and family science), Jagger LaRoe (economics), Roen McCullough (finance), Teradja Mitchell (fashion and retail studies), Chris Olave (consumer and family financial services), Nicholas Petit-Frere (marketing), Corey Rau (masters in sports coaching), Tyreke Smith (sport industry), Tommy Togiai (consumer and family financial services) and Sam Wiglusz (marketing).
Katzenmoyer and Togiai both earned their degrees through Ohio State’s degree completion program, which enables former Ohio State athletes who left the university without graduating to come back and complete their degrees. Former women’s tennis star Francesca Di Lorenzo, who left Ohio State early to play professionally, and former rower Rose Carr are also graduating through the degree completion program.
Other notable fall athlete graduates include former baseball player Seth Lonsway, who was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in July, and women’s soccer player Izzy Rodriguez, who was selected by the Kansas City Current in the fourth round of the NWSL draft on Saturday.
Ohio State’s autumn commencement will be held 2 p.m. Sunday at the Schottenstein Center and will be live streamed on Ohio State’s official website. The full list of athletes earning degrees on Sunday can be found below.
