Despite all the uncertainty that has surrounded the 2020 college football season for the past five months, Ohio State’s football players and coaches have continued to work toward trying to compete for a championship this fall.
When spring practices were shut down after just one week in March and players were sent home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they continued to find ways to work out on their own – Ohio State tight end Jeremy Ruckert, for example, built his own squat rack – so that they could stay in shape.
Since early June, they’ve been back in Columbus participating in workouts at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center – even though the rest of the student body is still away from campus – in an effort to be as prepared as possible to play this season.
