Buckeyes begin training camp with much-anticipated 2024 season approaching

It’s Christmas morning — I mean, Aug. 1. Well, same thing for Ohio State football fans who have been eagerly waiting for the 2024 season…because Thursday marks the beginning of Buckeyes training camp.

Ohio State faithful have access to the first four practices of camp, and the media will be in attendance for the first two, as the Buckeyes hit the practice fields at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center for the grind of 25 practices ahead of what could be a special season in Columbus.

“Pressure is a privilege” is a phrase Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has been repeating and will continue to repeat ahead of the 2024 season. There are few people in sports facing as much pressure as Day is this year.

Last week at Big Ten Media Days, Lettermen Row talked to national writers in Lucas Oil Stadium — including ESPN’s Heather Dinich and The Athletic/FOX Sports’ Bruce Feldman — about that pressure and other topics surrounding this year’s Buckeyes.
