Squad composition

How the 30-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Ohio St. for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.

  • Goalkeepers4
  • Defenders8
  • Midfielders9
  • Forwards8

1 player has no position published.

Who is leaving, and when

12 of the 30 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 40% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.

Going by position: 5 forwards, 4 defenders, 2 midfielders, 1 goalkeeper. Which programmes lose the most at your position?

  • Junior6

  • Senior (final year)9

    4 forwards2 defenders2 midfielders1 goalkeeper

  • Graduate (final year)3

    2 defenders1 forward

Final-year groups are shown in amber. A player listed at two positions is counted under each of them, since they provide cover in either, so the positions on a row can total more than the row itself. Redshirt players are counted in the year they are listed for. 1 player has no class year published and is not counted above.
