COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State football released its updated roster Tuesday with spring football around the corner and 12 returning players have changed their numbers for the 2020 season.
While Sevyn Banks, Teradja Mitchell and Chris Olave had previously announced their changes, nine others have done so as well. The most notables of the group are Zach Harrison and Josh Proctor.
Harrison wore No. 33 as a freshman recording 24 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in the process. He will wear No. 9. Proctor will return to No. 15, which he wore as a freshman in 2018. Last season he wore No. 41 and recorded 13 tackles, three pass breakups and one interception as the backup safety. Both are expected to compete for starting jobs this season.
