Ohio State went live at its spring practice session for Student Appreciation Day.
In a scrimmage at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, Will Howard, Devin Brown, Lincoln Kienholz, Julian Sayin and Air Noland each received snaps at quarterback as Jeremiah Smith, Emeka Egbuka, Bryson Rodgers and Quinshon Judkins were among those who made standout plays for the offense. On the other side of the ball, C.J. Hicks and Brenten “Inky” Jones were among those who made big plays for the defense.
Our highlight reel from the day’s practice features three catches from Smith and one catch each from Egbuka, Rodgers and Judkins. The latter two Buckeyes took their receptions to the end zone for 70- and 60-yard touchdowns. Hicks’ highlight came when he blitzed up the middle to sack Brown while Jones broke up a Howard pass in the back of the end zone.
In addition to watching the highlights, make sure to check out our stories from the event, such as the recap of Ryan Day’s press conference and both Howard and Seth McLaughlin losing their black stripes with the Buckeyes.
