TC Caffey followed his dream by walking on at Ohio State and is proving to Ryan Day and his fellow running backs that he can bring value to the Buckeyes’ offense.
Even though he wasn’t offered a scholarship by Ohio State, TC Caffey had his heart set on becoming a Buckeye.
“I knew going to Ohio State as a walk-on could be an uphill battle, but I also when I talked to when he was getting recruited, told him like, ‘This guy is gonna come in there and play for you. I believe that.’ He's the exception to the rule – his character, his work ethic, his dedication, I really believe he is going to help that football team,” Hoffman recalled.
Unfortunately for Caffey, his opportunity to build on that moment was halted when he tore his ACL in October. That injury sidelined Caffey for the rest of the 2022 season and most of last offseason, and he didn’t end up playing a single snap in 2023 as he was buried behind the likes of TreVeyon Henderson, Chip Trayanum, Miyan Williams, Dallan Hayden and Evan Pryor on Ohio State’s running back depth chart.
“When football was over , you could go home and you would see him at the local gym sometimes 8:30, 9:00, he's working out,” Hoffman told. “He was committed to it, and it's great to see that happen to guys that work hard.”
