While Dwayne Haskins has been second in Ohio State's quarterback pecking order all season, his status as the Buckeyes' No. 2 signal-caller has now been made official.

On Ohio State's latest depth chart released Tuesday, there is no longer an "or" designation next to the names of Haskins and Joe Burrow. After Haskins led Ohio State to a comeback victory over Michigan in relief of J.T. Barrett on Saturday, Haskins is now publicly listed as the Buckeyes' sole second-string quarterback, while Burrow is listed as the third-stringer.

Barrett, who left the Michigan game with a knee injury after being injured by a cameraman, remains listed as the starting quarterback on this week's depth chart. Meyer said Monday that Barrett has "moved into probable" to play in Saturday's Big Ten Championship Game against Wisconsin.

Other than Haskins' delineation as the backup quarterback over Burrow, the rest of Ohio State's depth chart – which you can see below – remains unchanged from last week.

Notes:

  • While Chris Worley and Tuf Borland are still listed as co-starters at middle linebacker and Dante Booker and Malik Harrison are still listed as co-starters at strongside linebacker, Worley has started each of the past two games at strongside linebacker and appears likely to remain in that role for the rest of the season. Booker has not played in the Buckeyes' last three games due to injury. 
  • Although Michael Hill remains absent from the published depth chart, he has played more snaps than Jashon Cornell, Davon Hamilton and Haskell Garrett (who did not play at all against Michigan) in each of the past two games.
  • Jordan Fuller and Erick Smith are listed as co-starters at safety, but Smith played only one snap at safety against Michigan despite being listed as a co-starter going into last week's game, too.
  • Mike Weber and Parris Campbell remain listed as co-starters at kickoff returner, although Weber has handled kickoff return duties for the Buckeyes' past four games.
  • True freshmen Wyatt Davis and Tate Martell remain listed on the depth chart despite the fact that they have not played this season and are in line to redshirt.
