Black stripe alert! Freshman tight end, Bennett Christian has shed his black stripe and was officially welcomed to the brotherhood on Saturday.
Christian came to Ohio State as a four-star recruit out of Allatoona High School in Acworth, Georgia. He was the No. 20 tight end in the 2022 class according to 247Sports composite. Known as a player with good hands, a good route runner and an excellent blocker, Christian looks to help the Buckeyes in the near future.
