It's only June, but this year the biggest recruiting event of the summer arrives a little early thanks to the changes to the recruiting calendar. Urban Meyer's Friday Night Lights camp has been a spectacle dating back to his time in Gainesville, and very little has changed during his tenure at Ohio State.
Oftentimes the summer event is more about the future classes rather than the current crop. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors arrive in Columbus to make a name for themselves in the hopes of earning a Buckeye offer. This year – thanks to the early official visits – the Friday Night Lights weekend will be even more critical for the Class of 2019.
