Ohio State released its media guide and roster for the 2016 football season as the Big Ten media days were set to begin today in Chicago.

Here were some of the notables:

* Freshman Numbers – DT Malik Barrow (55), LB Tuf Borland (32), DL Nick Bosa (97), DB Rodjay Burns (29), P Drue Chrisman (91), DL Jonathan Cooper (18), OL Gavin Cupp (61), DB Wayne Davis (15), TE Luke Farrell (89), CB Jordan Fuller (4), OL Tyler Gerald (72), LB Malik Harrison (39), QB Dwayne Haskins (7), TE Jake Hausmann (81), TE Kierre Hawkins (24), LB Keandre Jones (14), OG Michael Jordan (73), WR Austin Mack (11), RB Demario McCall (30), OL Malcolm Pridgeon (junior as a JUCO transfer, 66), WR Binjimen Victor (9), RB Antonio Williams (26), DB Jahsen Wint (23), OL Jack Wohlabaugh (64).

* Number Changes – WR Corey Smith (was 84, now 5), DB Erick Smith (was 1, now 34), RB Antonio Williams (was 3, now 26), WR Johnnie Dixon (was 5, now 1), DE Jalyn Holmes (was 10, now 11), CB Damon Arnette (was 13, now 3), CB Joshua Norwood (was 14, now 28), LB Nick Conner (was 34, now 43), DE Rashod Berry (was 24, now 13).

* Weight Changes – WR Torrance Gibson (was 205 pounds, now 215), DL Jashon Cornell (was 265, now 280), DL Jalyn Holmes (was 265, now 274), WR Austin Mack (was 210, now 215), LB Jerome Baker (was 215, now 225), DE Rashod Berry (was 245, now 252), OL Michael Jordan (was 316, now 310), TE A.J. Alexander (was 235, now 254).

* Notables – Punter Drue Chrisman, originally thought to be a grayshirt, is listed on this roster and could be a full-fledged team member this season … Rashod Berry, recruited as a tight end, is listed as a defensive end … Pridgeon is listed as a freshman, but he is a junior with three years to play two … Of the freshman defensive backs, Fuller was listed as a CB. Davis, Burns and Wint were listed as DBs, meaning they could rep at either corner or safety.

* Class Breakdown – Here are the scholarship numbers by class: Seniors, 4; juniors, 20; sophomores, 17; redshirt freshmen, 20; true freshmen, 23 (including Chrisman). That is a total of 84 players on scholarship beginning the season.

OSU has 16 commitments for 2017, meaning as of today they are 11 players over the scholarship limit for next year. If OSU signs 20 players, that means 15 current members of the roster would not be back in 2017.

Below is the full roster as released in the media guide, linked here.
