With spring football set to begin at Ohio State on Tuesday morning, the Buckeyes' updated roster was released on Monday, including numbers for the team's early enrollees and several number changes for returning players.
Ohio State's nine new freshmen received the numbers they will be wearing in their first springs with the team, which you can see in the following table. Baldwin, Johnson, Teague and Togiai each got to keep their high school jersey numbers, while the other early enrollees will have new numbers.
| No. | Player | Position |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | MATTHEW BALDWIN | QB |
| 12 | SEVYN BANKS | CB |
| 13 | TYREKE JOHNSON | CB |

| 51 | ANTWUAN JACKSON | DT |
| 54 | MATTHEW JONES | C |
| 72 | TOMMY TOGIAI | DT |
| 74 | MAX WRAY | OT |
A few returning players will also have new jersey numbers this spring. Jeffrey Okudah, who wore both No. 1 and No. 29 at times last season, is now No. 11. Rashod Berry, who were No. 13 last season, is now No. 38. Damon Arnette, who were No. 3 last season, is now No. 46.
Rising sophomore defensive back Amir Riep, who played primarily on special teams but also saw some playing time at cornerback last season, is now listed as a safety. Redshirt sophomore defensive back Wayne Davis, who appeared in one game at safety last season, is now listed as a cornerback.
The updated roster includes several new walk-ons who were not listed on last year's roster, including running back Amari McMahon, wide receivers Darryl Sinclair and De'Shawn White, tight end Tate Duarte, linebacker Alex Beck, safety Michael Blanton, long snappers Bradley Robinson and Phillip Thomas and a pair of early enrollee preferred walk-ons, defensive tackle Zaid Hamdan and kicker Dominic DeMaccio.
