Report: 3 more Buckeyes likely ineligible for Rose Bowl

Three more Buckeyes are expected to be declared ineligible and miss the Rose Bowl, according to a published report Monday.

Seniors wide receiver Ray Small and defensive lineman Rob Rose and sophomore running back Bo DeLande are likely to miss the Jan. 1 bowl game against Oregon due to a violation of team rules, the Columbus Dispatch reported on its Web site.

Freshman receiver Duron Carter was declared ineligible last week.

As of Monday morning, the school had not issued a statement regarding the status of the three players, meaning the decision may not yet be final.

"I'm not sure yet," Small's father told the newspaper when contacted Sunday night.
