As good as the Ohio State football program has been on the field the last few years, I’m not sure it gets enough credit for what it does in the classroom and off of it. Case in point: According to an OSU release on Tuesday, a whopping 51 players from the football team were named OSU Scholar-Athletes for the 2021-2022 academic year.
To be considered an OSU Scholar-Athlete, a player has to maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above. The program has had four consecutive semesters under coach Ryan Day with a team cumulative GPA of at least 3.00. The cumulative GPA for this spring semester was 3.05. The current GPA for all the scholarship players is a very impressive 2.998.
