Ohio State hosts a trio of one-day positional satellite camps each summer on the outdoor fields at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center as various schools from around the country flock to Columbus to evaluate some top high school talent.
The Buckeyes are usually only interested in a handful of these prospects, but other schools — often of the Mid-American Conference or Football Championship Subdivision — benefit greatly.
On Thursday, Ohio State announced the full list of 13 schools expected to be in attendance at its one-day camps, which are scheduled for Saturday, June 11, Tuesday, June 14 and Friday, June 17.
In addition to MAC schools like Bowling Green, Toledo, Ohio and more, Ohio State also invited Rutgers, Arizona, Boston College and TCU this year.
MEGA camps are coming!

It's not often a fellow Big Ten school would get invited to attend one of Ohio State's camps, but Rutgers invited Urban Meyer and Co. to its June 8 satellite camp at Fairleigh Dickinson — the same day Michigan is holding one at Paramus Catholic High School. Meyer likely opted to return the favor Chris Ash and invited the new head coach of the Scarlet Knights to Columbus for one of the camps hosted by Ohio State.
TCU is also an interesting choice considering the Horned Frogs are currently on Ohio State's schedule for the 2018 season. But the Buckeyes are slated to attend a TCU camp June 3, so perhaps again this is Meyer returning the favor.
Boston College is led by Steve Addazio, a former assistant under Meyer. Arizona's head coach is former Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez.
