It didn’t take long for William Mason 2023 defensive end, [autotag]Caden Davis,[/autotag] to make up his mind on where he would play in the fall after [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] 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.
