The Buckeyes added even more depth to their loaded wide receivers room this week.

Wyoming, Ohio, wide receiver Joop Mitchell announced on Wednesday he has accepted a preferred walk-on opportunity at Ohio State.

I am excited to announce that I will be accepting a Preferred Walk-On offer to play football at The Ohio State University.

Thank you to my Wyoming Cowboy coaches, teammates and my family for everything you have done to help make this possible.
