As Ohio State prepares to begin spring football on March 2, Eleven Warriors is taking a position-by-position look at how the Buckeyes’ roster stacks up entering the year’s first practices. Our Spring Preview begins with the quarterbacks, where Justin Fields returns to lead Ohio State’s offense while Jack Miller and C.J. Stroud are set to begin their careers as Buckeyes.
In his eighth year as either a quarterbacks coach or head coach, Ryan Day enters this season with a luxury he’s never had before: A returning starting quarterback who he’s already coached for a year.
Unlike last year, when Ohio State entered the spring without a single quarterback who had thrown a pass for the Buckeyes, Fields returns for his second season with Ohio State having already established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in college football.
