Ohio State has six early enrollees from its 2019 recruiting class and 12 redshirt freshmen on the roster who will be fighting for playing time as the Buckeyes go through spring practice over the next five weeks.
That quest for those 18 freshmen began on Monday when Ohio State kicked off the first spring camp under new head coach Ryan Day.
The Buckeyes lost a number of talented starters on both sides of the ball, but key reserves lost to graduation and transfer will have Day and an overhauled coaching staff looking to fill out a majority of its two-deep rotation during spring practice.
