With a team full of traditional seniors, super seniors and a junior who fully intends to enter the NBA draft after this season, Ohio State had a lot of players to honor on Senior Day.
Joey Brunk, Cedric Russell, Jamari Wheeler, Jimmy Sotos, E.J. Liddell, Justin Ahrens and Kyle Young were all honored during Senior Day festivities before Sunday’s game, and you can watch the pregame ceremony above.
The Buckeyes honored included a fifth-year senior (Young), a traditional senior (Ahrens) and a junior (Liddell) who all played their entire careers at Ohio State as well as four players using their additional year of eligibility (Brunk, Russell, Sotos, Wheeler) who all transferred to Ohio State for the end of their careers.
Six student managers were also honored before the players were introduced to the crowd: Kevin Marklay, Luke Trondson, Michael Adamo, Jack Betz, Tyler Hicks and Bryce Hawkins.
Three other Ohio State seniors who still have an additional year of eligibility – Justice Sueing, Seth Towns and Harrison Hookfin – chose not to go through Senior Day festivities, potentially indicating that they plan to return for another year.
