When Ohio State kicks off spring practices next week, there will be no shortage of Buckeyes looking to prove they deserve more playing time in 2021.
Those Buckeyes will include the 15 midyear enrollees who will be participating in their first-ever practices as Ohio State freshmen, along with 24 second-year Buckeyes who will be chasing bigger roles after their unconventional freshman year. Zack Carpenter already highlighted some of the top players to watch from those groups last week.
For those players, though, this spring will be just the first or second opportunity for them to make a move up the depth chart.
