Ohio State continues to pull out all the stops in its hope to reach the 100,000 attendance mark in Saturday's spring game.
Thursday morning, head coach Urban Meyer announced from his Twitter account a slew of big names from the 2015 squad are set to be in attendance led by quarterback Cardale Jones. He is slated to take on current quarterback J.T. Barrett in a throwing competition at halftime. Each will be paired up with a student during the contest.

As is also stated in that graphic, past players who entered the 2016 NFL Draft in Vonn Bell, Eli Apple, Darron Lee, Jalin Marshall, Tyvis Powell and Ezekiel Elliott are set to coach up those finalists in the fastest student competition.
For even more fun, former players Anthony Schlegel, Kirk Barton, Jimmy Cordle, Bobby Carpenter and Jack Mewhort will join up for a "Catch A Punt" competition.
All these events are scheduled for halftime.
The Spring Game is set for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff and to be broadcasted Big Ten Network.
Upon its completion, students are invited to join players and coaches on the field to sing Carmen Ohio. Fans can also be entered to win an autographed jersey by attending the game:
As of Wednesday, more than 69,000 presale tickets have been sold for the game, the school said. That does not include students or walk-up purchases, which will likely be affected with this certain star power returning.
