Ohio State kicked out TikTok star Caden Davis ahead of championship game
Caden Davis, a social media influencer and walk-on defensive lineman for Ohio State, has been dismissed from the team ahead of their national championship game against Notre Dame. Davis, who gained significant attention with his behind-the-scenes TikTok videos of life as a Buckeyes football player, never played in a game for Ohio State. Despite his popularity online, he did not make an appearance on the field after joining the team as a preferred walk-on in 2022.
The Ohio State student newspaper, The Lantern, confirmed that Davis was no longer on the roster. While the university has not disclosed the exact reasons for his dismissal, Davis’ recent social media activity raised questions. He posted a video showing the team’s trip to AT&T Stadium for the Cotton Bowl, but the footage seemed to be from the previous year’s game. This discrepancy led to backlash from fans. Moreover, Ohio State offensive lineman George Fitzpatrick called out the post, which was subsequently deleted.
Davis, who is from Mason, Ohio, expressed his appreciation for his time with the Buckeyes on Instagram. He mentioned that personal career reasons and recent changes in NCAA rules contributed to his decision to leave. Davis joined Ohio State in 2022 and made a name for himself on social media. As the Buckeyes prepare for their championship game, Davis will not be part of the team’s push for a title.
