Ohio State coach Urban Meyer addresses his team before practice on Aug. 6. The Buckeyes kicked off their spring practice March 5.
Ohio State football starts spring practice Tuesday at 4 p.m. at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
The start was the earliest documented practice in OSU history because of the university’s switch to the semester system.
The practice, which will feature players working out without full pads, kicks off a 14-session schedule leading up to the program’s annual Spring Game, which is scheduled for April 13.
