Even though it's still uncertain if and when the 2020 season will be played this fall, Ohio State is set to get back to practicing football on Friday.
In an interview with 97.1 The Fan's Bishop and Laurinaitis on Wednesday, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said the Buckeyes are on track to start walkthrough practices on Friday, with fall camp scheduled to begin on Aug. 7.
The start of walkthrough practices, which comes after the Buckeyes resumed workouts supervised by coaches last Wednesday, is in accordance with guidelines approved by the NCAA in June, allowing Ohio State coaches to begin working with players for up to 20 hours per week, including up to six hours of walkthrough football practices per week, beginning Friday.
