The Canadian Football League just finished its first week of the regular season and entering week one only four former Ohio State Buckeyes were on rosters. This number seems low, but last season we saw the exact same number of Buckeyes on rosters.
Three guys on this list are coming back from last season and the other is a former CFL All-Star who is returning after two seasons off. Half of this list are former players who transferred out of Ohio State, but the names will likely be memorable for most.
The most interesting part of this list is actually who is left off. Most will remember J.T. Barrett signing with the Edmonton Elks, but an injury forced him to the league’s retired list. The Elks then moved on to Cardale Jones, but he was cut after a few days. The most high-profile players of the CFL off-season didn’t even make the active rosters, but here are the four former Ohio State players who did.
