Buckeyes back to work, open second week of training camp

Ohio State had three practices before taking a day off from practice.

Starting Monday, the Buckeyes are back to work on the field outside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. They begin their second week of work, and they’ll practice every day this week, all the way until Saturday.

The team checked into the team hotel, where they’ll stay for the next couple of weeks as they begin their prep for the massive season-opening showdown against Notre Dame.

The second week of camp is here. And the Buckeyes are back to work preparing for a national title run.

ICYMI: Tim May Podcast

Training camp is finally just days away for Ohio State. Football is almost back. And The Tim May Podcast is returning this week with a very special guest to preview the preseason for the Buckeyes.

Tim welcomes former five-star recruit and current Buckeyes sophomore defensive end Jack Sawyer on to the show to preview fall camp and talk about his excitement for the upcoming season.

Four-star forward Scotty Middleton commits to Ohio State

Ohio State picked up its second major commitment in as many days on Sunday: Scotty Middleton has committed to the Buckeyes.

The four-star Sunrise Christian (Miami, Florida) forward chose Ohio State over Seton Hall, UConn, Kansas, Texas A&M and others. Middleton becomes the first small forward to commit to Ohio State and is the fourth member in the Buckeyes 2023 haul.

Scotty Middleton is the No. 47 overall prospect and the No. 3 player in Kansas according to the On3 Consensus Rankings.

Middleton joins Devin Royal, George Washington III and Austin Parks in the Buckeyes 2023 class, which ranks twenty-second nationally and third in the Big Ten. Ohio State trails only Michigan State and Rutgers in the conference.

The 6-foot-7, 175-pound is highly-skilled in defensive situations and has the ability to become a lockdown defender on the floor.

Counting down

Buckeyes season opener vs. Notre Dame: 26 days away

Ohio State vs. Michigan: 110 days away
