The Buckeyes have had four straight semesters with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.
The Ohio State football program announced on Tuesday that 51 current and former players earned scholar-athlete honors after maintaining a 3.0 or higher grade-point average for the 2021-22 academic year.
Ten of those players have been named a scholar-athlete at least three times during their career, led by a pair of five-time honorees in rising seventh-year senior long snapper Bradley Robinson and fifth-year senior linebacker Cade Kacherski. Both players have already graduated and are working on their master’s degrees.
Fifth-year senior wide receiver Kamryn Babb, fifth-year senior linebacker Ryan Batsch, fifth-year senior defensive tackle Taron Vincent and former defensive end Tyreke Smith, who is widely projected to be selected in this month’s NFL Draft, were honored for a fourth time.
Former quarterback Jagger LaRoe, who has since transferred to Texas A&M Commerce; former offensive lineman Harry Miller, who medically retired this spring; fifth-year senior linebacker Teradja Mitchell; and senior offensive lineman Ryan Smith earned the accolade for the third time.
This marked the fourth consecutive semester in which the team grade-point average was 3.0 or higher, as the cumulative grade-point average was 3.05. The grade-point average for the scholarship players on the roster, meanwhile, is 2.998.
