Ohio State will host its sixth-annual Friday Night Lights recruiting extravaganza on June 22, the program announced this morning. The event is free and open to the public.
Though the event is typically held at the end of July, it was moved forward to comply with college football’s recruiting dead period — which runs June 25 through July 24. The calendar change is a direct result of the recruiting legislation that brought on the Early Signing Period and spring official visits.
The change in date has been known for a few weeks now, but was not advertised until this morning as the program hoped to make it as close to exclusive as possible — since the NCAA doesn't permit invite-only camps.
