Ohio State concluded its spring practice sessions with the spring game on April 12th, and despite some voiced concerns by Ohio State head coach Ryan Day about the Ohio State defensive line (more on that momentarily), the Buckeyes head into the crucial summer workout periods having fulfilled one of the most crucial concerns – staying healthy. I can only guess that Coach Day and his assistant coaches collectively exhaled once the spring game finished.

The Ohio State Spring Game on April 12th is rapidly approaching and I always look forward to an opportunity to see any and all of the freshmen who have enrolled, as well as players who have joined the program via the transfer portal. As I write this, the weather forecast for the game looks like the temperature will be in the mid-50s, so it should make for a terrific way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Ohio State is well into its third spring practice week, with the Spring Game serving as its conclusion to spring practices on April 12th.

Congratulations to all of the now former Buckeyes who competed and participated in the Ohio State Pro Day on Wednesday. It is always a challenge for me to write and think about players from the previous season in the past tense. By all accounts, the players all represented themselves very well, and the time between now and the 2025 NFL Draft will be accompanied by updates from those individuals about being invited to various NFL teams for interviews.

I realize that most of the sports world is going to be focused upon the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament for the foreseeable future, and I would be lying if I did not admit that I also have a passing interest in how my bracket performs for “March Madness.” After the first day, when I am shaking my head at how poorly I have done and will continue to do with my bracket, I get back to what truly excites me this time of year – Ohio State spring football.
