Looking Back: The Ohio State Buckeyes 2015 Roster Breakdown.

Okay, so I wanted to put together a quick reference for the 2015 Ohio State Buckeyes football roster. You know, just for my own records and maybe it'll be useful for someone else down the road. I didn't realize how much work this seemingly simple task would turn out to be!

Finding a Reliable Source

First, I needed to find the actual roster. This sounds easy, right? Just Google it! Well, not so fast. I started b.sey hitting up the usual sports sites. You know, the big names.

The problem I ran into was that a lot of sites had parts of the roster, or they were focused on specific positions, or they mixed in future recruits. I needed the full, official 2015 roster, and it was surprisingly hard to nail down.

Compiling and Cleaning the Data

Eventually, I found a few sources that seemed pretty accurate. But even then, they weren't perfect. I ended up cross-referencing multiple sites, making sure the player names, numbers, and positions all lined up. It was a bit tedious, to be honest. There were several discrepancies

The Final Product

So, after all that digging and checking, I finally compiled what I believe is the most accurate representation of that 2015 roster. Here is what I have.

• I won't actually list a roster here, since I don't have that data! This example focuses on the process.

It took longer than I expected, but now I've got it documented! I learned to double or triple check anything, and use multiple sources just in case.
