Former Buckeyes Graduate

Congrats to former Buckeyes Matt Davis and Mike Lockwood who were among 30 current or former Ohio State student-athletes to receive their degrees Sunday at winter quarter commencement exercises. Lockwood, who played for the Buckeyes from 1997-99, was a first-team All-Big Ten pick in 1998 and 1999, while Davis, who played from 2002-03, earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2003. Lockwood, an Academic All-American in 1999, ranks among Ohio State’s all-time Top 10 in batting average, hits, runs scored and home runs. He left Ohio State to pursue a professional baseball career and spent a number of years with the Oakland A’s and Boston Red Sox organizations. Davis spent time in the Cleveland Indians organization after they drafted him in the seventh round in 2003.
