While many Ohio State football players returned to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center after three months away when voluntary summer workouts started on Monday, a dozen Buckeyes who arrived at the WHAC on Monday were doing so for their first on-campus workouts of their Ohio State careers.
Each of the 11 members of Ohio State’s recruiting class of 2020 who were not early enrollees were present for the first day of voluntary workouts on Monday – to start out, they’re going through their workouts separate from the rest of the team while they get acclimated to life as college football players – as was transfer running back Trey Sermon, who is also in his first week as a Buckeye after choosing to leave Oklahoma this spring.
