When Marc Nave Jr. walked into the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Tuesday for Ohio State’s first practice of the spring, he felt like he was home.
The three-star in-state offensive line prospect watched Ohio State’s offensive linemen get after it in practice for several hours, then sat in on positional meetings hosted by offensive line coach Justin Frye. Before he departed Columbus for his hometown of Toledo, Ryan Day asked Nave and his family to stop by his office. After the Buckeyes officially offered Nave on Jan. 31, they wanted an update on where he stood.
