QB Bauserman Likely to Walk-On at Ohio State

As we noted way back at the beginning of this blog, former OSU commit Joe Bauserman was looking to take a break from his baseball career. The former three-star QB has been pitching in the Pirates minor league system, but has experienced some shoulder issues that slowed his progress. Bauserman is now ready to take a crack at college football, and seems likely to finally be a Buckeye.

The Columbis Dispatch is reporting that Bauserman has applied for admissions for the summer quarter. He would join the team in the fall as a walk-on, provided depth behind Todd Boeckman, Rob Schoenhoft and Antonio Henton. It is believed that his Pirates contract will cover his tuition, so the Buckeyes will not have to use a scholarship for him.

Check out Bauserman pitching for the Pirates AA club, the Altoona Curve.
