Ohio State Football Players Relish Opportunity to Coach Special Needs Athletes at 10th Annual Special Skills Football Camp

The Special Skills Football Camp returned to Ohio State's campus on Thursday.

The Special Skills Football Camp is an annual invitational that welcomes individuals with special needs to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center for a few hours of football-related fun. Around 200 campers (8 years old and up) from Ohio attended the 10th annual edition of the camp, where over 100 volunteers and a handful of Buckeye football players coached them in drills.

The camp was rewarding for participants and players alike. Ohio State linebacker Reid Carrico, who enters his third season with the program in 2023, said the experience reminded him of how important the Buckeyes are to people who call Ohio home.
