Ohio State football | Spring game set for April 15

Ohio State announced on Tuesday that its spring game will be April 15.

A year ago, a national record crowd of 100,189 watched the Buckeyes scrimmage at Ohio Stadium to get a first look at a largely new roster. With six underclassmen leaving early for the NFL, Ohio State’s 2017 team will have plenty of fresh faces as well.

The Buckeyes open spring practice March 7.

Ohio State began its offseason conditioning program on Tuesday. It included nine early enrollees: linebacker Baron Browning, running back J.K. Dobbins, quarterback Tate Martell, offensive lineman Josh Myers, cornerback Jeffrey Okudah, safety Isaiah Pryor, cornerback Shaun Wade, athlete Brendon White and cornerback Marcus Williamson.
