The parade of Ohio State football newcomers shedding their black stripes and “officially” becoming a part of the Buckeye brotherhood hasn’t stopped with the start of the season.
We had two offensive linemen receive the honor on Tuesday, and that was followed up with a couple more newcomers being recognized in a short ceremony on Wednesday. The first of those was freshman defensive lineman Darrion Henry out of Cincinnati Princeton High School. At this point, almost all newcomers have joined the ranks of “officially” becoming a Buckeye.
The 6-foot, 4-inch, 279-pounder was rated as a four-star prospect as the No. 16 rated defensive tackle in the 2020 class according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Henry has all the tools to become a key member of the defensive line down the road, and he stood up to comment about the right of passage to his teammates. The moment was captured and shared by the official Twitter account of Ohio State Football.
🚨 Black Stripe Alert ‼️
