Now that spring football has arrived, Ohio State released an updated roster with numbers for each of the team’s new arrivals.

Ohio State opened spring practice on Tuesday, giving us our first look at the Buckeyes’ newest faces, such as five-star wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. in No. 15, four-star running back Legend Bey in No. 2 and Alabama transfer defensive tackle James Smith in No. 3.

New Year. New Numbers.
