Ohio State football 2026 season preparations

Overview

Ohio State University began its 2026 fall football camp under head coach Ryan Day. During the initial training period, freshman running back Legend Bey was suspended for a minor team-rule violation, though he was expected to return shortly after missing two days of practice.

As the team prepared for its season opener against Ball State, updates were provided regarding roster depth in the wide receiver and offensive line positions. Concurrently, the Big Ten conference announced a new player eligibility rule. This regulation prohibits players from returning to Big Ten schools if they have declared for the NFL Draft and subsequently appeared on an NFL roster or signed a professional contract.
