Ohio State gets a commit from 2023 instate preferred walk-on defensive lineman

It didn’t take long for William Mason 2023 defensive end, Caden Davis, to make up his mind on where he would play in the fall after Ohio State offered him a preferred walk-on position yesterday.

Davis announced that he has committed to the Buckeyes this morning over scholarship offers from Butler, Dayton, Eastern Illinois, and others.

Although this may not seem like a big deal, anytime you can save a scholarship and get a player who has division one offers, it’s a win. Davis actually has a solid frame at 6-foot, 5-inches, and 220 pounds, and has the potential to not just contribute as a practice player.

The Buckeyes have had some recent success with walk-ons. Wide receiver Xavier Johnson made plenty of big plays this past fall. Davis is looking to have the same kind of impact.
