As the Ohio State Buckeyes navigate through the football season, the question arises of whether or not to redshirt two key players: Lorenzo Styles Jr. and Dallan Hayden.

Styles, who transferred from Notre Dame this past summer, has already appeared in three games on special teams as he transitions from wide receiver to cornerback. He is eligible to play in one more game to qualify for a redshirt season. Head coach Ryan Day has expressed the team's intention to redshirt Styles, allowing him to learn the new position and develop his skills in the secondary.

Hayden, a sophomore running back, has seen limited playing time this season with the intention of redshirting. However, due to injuries to other running backs on the team, Day suggests that Hayden may soon have a more prominent role. With two games left before his redshirt status is at risk, Hayden has the opportunity to make an impact for the Buckeyes.

Both players have the potential to contribute to the team, but the decision to redshirt ultimately depends on the coaching staff's assessment of their development and the team's needs. Ohio State fans eagerly await the upcoming games to see if Styles and Hayden will take the field.
