Three more black stripes came off on Saturday as freshman defensive tackle Taron Vincent, freshman running back Brian Snead and sophomore walk-on quarterback Kory Curtis all earned the right to call themselves Buckeyes on Saturday, according to Ohio State's Instagram feed.
Taron Vincent was the nation's top defensive tackle coming out of high school. The five-star interior lineman was ranked as the No. 20 overall player in the 2018 class and was Ohio State's second-highest rated player in the class, behind offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere.
Big ups to "The Tank" @t_lova23 for losing that black stripe & officially joining The Rushmen!
