Ohio State dismisses TikTok star from team ahead of national championship game

Caden Davis was known for regularly posting content about his experience on the Ohio State football team. Caden Davis was a walk-on defensive lineman who has hundreds of thousands of followers across both TikTok and Instagram and was known for posting about his life on the team, whether that be showing off the gear they received for the new season or what the inside of a locker room looked like. According to an Instagram post Davis made on Wednesday (January 15), he is no longer on the team.
“Being a buckeye has always been a dream come true of mine since being a kid,” his caption read alongside a photo of him wearing his football jersey. “I am so very appreciative to the coaches, staff, and players for welcoming me into the team. I truly cannot thank them enough for allowing me to live my dream for the last 2 years and mentoring me the way they have.”.
The post continued, explaining that he would no longer be a walk-on due to both changes in the NCAA and “personal career reasons.”. “I appreciate the support of everyone and your help to respect my privacy about the decision made. Thank you, Go Bucks” the caption concluded.
Football teams will now be reduced to 105 players, compared to the average 128 players, that are all entitled to a scholarship, virtually erasing all walk-on spots. However, he appeared to be using clips from the 2023 Cotton Bowl and not the 2024 one. An offensive lineman on the team, George Fitzpatrick, even commented on the video, “You don’t play here.”.
