Though Ohio State is still putting the finishing touches on the Class of 2017, the staff will host several of the country's top underclassmen for its annual Junior Day on Saturday.
Recruits from all over the country will meet with coaches, tour campus and the program's facilities, try on the latest team gear and take pictures with the national championship trophy, among other things.
