Three more Ohio State freshmen are now without their black stripes.
Safety Josh Proctor, H-back Jaelen Gill and walk-on receiver Sam Wiglusz all shed their black stripes following Wednesdays practice and will be considered full members of the team when the Buckeyes take on Rutgers on Saturday.

Proctor was the No. 7 safety in the country coming out of high school and the No. 71 prospect overall. He saw action on both the punt and kickoff team during Ohio State's 77-31 win over Oregon State on Saturday.
Gill was the No. 30 player in the country coming out of high school and was perhaps the most versatile player in Ohio State's 2018 class. Gill did not play in Saturday's opener against Oregon State.
Wiglusz is a walk-on wide receiver who chose to enroll at Ohio State instead of accept scholarship offers from Dayton, Malone, Notre Dame College of Ohio, Lafayette and Wofford. He is the first true-freshman walk-on to lose his black stripe.
