Ohio State began the week two scholarships above the NCAA-mandated limit of 85 before quarterback Joe Burrow and safety Wayne Davis announced their transfers.
And with walk-on receiver C.J. Saunders earning a scholarship, that brings the Buckeyes magic number of 85 three months before the season begins.
It also means Ohio State would have to shed another player if it were to bring in a graduate transfer quarterback, should Urban Meyer ultimately decide to go that route.
The Buckeyes begin their 2018 season Sept. 1 when Oregon State rolls into Columbus. You can view the current scholarship grid over here.
