The Difficulty of Keeping Track of Voluntary Workouts That Can’t Be Monitored

If you ask any college football coach right now, they will tell you that the great is being separated from the good. Players are on their own, and in many cases, very far from their respective coaches. But work is still being done — or at least it’s being done by the teams with the discipline to make it happen. Workouts are voluntary right now, though…

Buckeyes Given Personalized Workout Plans While On Hiatus
Last year, work was completed on some new digs at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

But that doesn’t mean they get eased into the experience. Currently, Ohio State has 14 true freshmen enrolled early and…

No Pigeonholing, Buckeyes Looking for Their Six Best Receivers
One of Ohio State’s biggest question marks surrounding the team entering the 2020 season is who will replace the talent lost in the wide receiver room.
