Spring is in the air on the campus of The Ohio State University, which can only mean that spring football is right around the corner for the Buckeyes. The first practice of the new year happened last Friday and now we know what numbers the new guys will wear.
All in all, there are 15 new recruits who have enrolled early for classes on campus so they can begin their Ohio State football careers. And there are some big names in this class.
The Buckeyes signed several No. 1 ranked players at their position. No. 1 ranked running back TreVeyon Henderson will wear No. 32. The No. 1 ranked receiver in the class, Emeka Egbuka will wear No. 12. The Bucks also signed No. 1 rated offensive guard Donovan Jackson, but he was not an early enrollee.
A couple other players of note are defensive end Jack Sawer who will wear No. 33 and quarterback Kyle McCord who will wear No. 14. McCord is expected to compete for the starting QB job vacated by Justin Fields.
