Ohio State walk-on defensive end Caden Davis, a content creator who has a combined 300,000 followers on various social media platforms, is no longer part of the football team.

TikTok star and Ohio State walk-on Caden Davis has reportedly been dismissed from the Buckeyes football team. This comes just ahead of their national championship game. Davis gained popularity for sharing behind-the-scenes content of life as an Ohio State player.

This is something noteworthy before the national title game between Ohio State and Notre Dame: per The Lantern (the school’s newspaper), walk-on defensive end “has been dismissed from Ohio sate’s football team.” The player has a huge following on TikTok, but we have no idea if that contributed to his dismissal. In fact, the reason is a mystery.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Walk-on defensive end and content creator Caden Davis is no longer with the Ohio State football team. The news was first reported by The Lantern on Wednesday morning with OSU football’s Sports Information Director Jerry Emig confirming Davis' departure.

The player had not appeared in a game with the Buckeyes but had amassed a large following across a variety of platforms on social media.

Ohio State football is only a few days away from kicking off against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the College Football Playoff National Championship game. Still, some drama and distraction have entered the news cycle as the Buckeyes have dismissed walk-on defensive lineman, Caden Davis.
