Ohio State’s trusted walk-on quarterback with Big Ten-caliber poise
Chad Ray is a veteran Ohio State quarterback known more for reliability, preparation, and leadership than headline-grabbing box scores. In the 2024 season, he was a senior, 6'2", 215-pound walk-on from Dublin Scioto who had already earned Academic All-Big Ten honors twice and graduated in health sciences, underscoring a strong football-IQ, team-first profile. He’s the kind of QB teams like to have in the room: steady, mature, and trusted to know the system, even if his value comes more from professionalism and depth than explosive statistical production.
