Ohio State receiver loses black stripe

Ohio State receiver loses black stripe #GoBucks

It is always fun to see Ohio State football players develop and become “official” members by losing their black stripe, and the next to accomplish this was sophomore wide receiver, Nolan Baudo.

The preferred walk-on is finally an official member of Zone 6 after having his black stripe removed on Tuesday. Baudo has an uphill battle to see meaningful playing time behind an absolutely stacked receiving corps, but he is hoping to see some action this Saturday in the season opener against Akron.

The Illinois native is the 18th Buckeye this year to lose his black stripe and the second walk-on. The other walk-on to have his black stripe removed was another receiver in Brennen Schramm.

Ohio State adds Illinois WR Nolan Baudo as a preferred walk-on

Ohio State adds a PWO to the 2023 class #GoBucks

Although walk-ons don’t typically see the field much, the [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] football program has done a good job of finding some that do.

This past season wide receiver [autotag]Xavier Johnson[/autotag] made some huge plays when games counted for the Buckeyes. His touchdowns against Notre Dame and Georgia were extremely important.

The Buckeyes might have found another player to fill that role. Illinois wide receiver [autotag]Nolan Baudo[/autotag] announced he will join the team in the fall as a preferred walk-on. At 5 feet, 10 inches and 170 pounds, he has slot receiver written all over him.

Baudo comes from the same high school, Marist, as 2023 signee [autotag]Carnell Tate[/autotag] before he transferred to IMG in Florida. Every year the program sends multiple players to Power Five schools. Their program is one of the best in the Chicagoland area.
