Buckle up. Spring football has nearly arrived.
Ohio State announced spring practice will begin on Wednesday, beginning more than a month of practices that will culminate with the spring game on April 13.
This will be the first opportunity for Ryan Day and his inaugural coaching staff to work with the 2019 Ohio State football team, and it represents the first opportunity for Justin Fields, Zach Harrison, Garrett Wilson and others to show their skills in practices.
The Buckeyes will practice twice next week before heading on spring break.
This spring, Ohio State also brought back the student appreciation practice, which will be held on an undisclosed date this spring.
The program did not release a full spring football schedule, but it sent out the media opportunities, so we have an idea of how the practices will be scheduled. Here's a look at each practice we know Ohio State will hold.
