Events
Nike+ Football Ratings Championship
Using a series of physical tests including the shuttle run and 40-yard dash, high school football's top athlete is determined at the The Opening Finals.
Last season, Buckeye target and five-star receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones became the first underclassman to win the ratings championship. This season, he'll try to defend his title against a fresh batch of top high school talent.
Final Five Lineman Challenge
The 20 best offensive and defensive linemen from around the country will compete to be named to the Nike's Final Five.
On the offensive side, Ohio State has commits from both the nation's top-ranked offensive tackle in Josh Myers and guard in Wyatt Davis competing in the events. Four-star offensive tackle Jake Moretti received an invite, but is unable to attend due to a knee injury he sustained last week.
On the defensive side, four-star defensive tackle commit Haskell Garrett will be competing along with Ohio State target five-star defensive end Chase Young.
Nike+ Football 7 on 7 Championship
The top 126 skill players in the country are divided among six teams 7-on-7 teams where they'll compete for three days for the Nike+ 7-on-7 championship.
With the exception of Tate Martell, every current Buckeye commit is on one team – Lunarbeast. Conveniently, many of Ohio State's top targets – Trevon Grimes, Tyjon Lindsey and Jeffrey Okudah – join Martell on the Alpha Pro team.
TV coverage will be announced at a later date, but events will likely see extensive coverage on ESPNU. Last season, the network broadcast eight hours of the camp's festivities.
