Ohio State’s football players were coaches for a day on Friday.
Less than two weeks before the Buckeyes return to the field for their first practices of preseason camp, the Ohio State football team welcomed 175 athletes with special needs to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Friday to participate in the Special Skills Football Invitational.
While the camp has now been held at the WHAC for a dozen years with Ohio State football players serving as coaches each year, Friday was the first time the entire football team turned out for the event, as 110 Buckeyes were on hand to coach the campers through various drills and take pictures and autographs.
