Ohio State Dismisses Walk-On Player Caden Davis

Caden Davis, a social media star and walk-on defensive lineman for the Ohio State Buckeyes, has been dismissed from the team days before the national championship game against Notre Dame. Davis, who garnered significant attention on TikTok and Instagram for his behind-the-scenes content about the team, confirmed his departure citing personal career reasons and changes in NCAA regulations. The specific reasons for his dismissal are unclear, but discrepancies in his social media posts about team events have been noted. There is speculation that the NCAA's potential elimination of walk-on spots, reducing team sizes to only include scholarship players, may have influenced the decision. Despite his removal, Davis expressed gratitude for his time with the team. Ohio State is set to face Notre Dame in their pursuit of a first national title since 2014.
