OSU spring practice underway
Ohio State's first spring practice featured over 50 new players [https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2026/03/161833/observations-and-video-from-ohio-state-s-first-spring-practice-of-2026], offering a first look at potential position battles [https://buckeyehuddle.com/2026/03/10/ohio-state-spring-practice-insider-spring-has-sprung-for-buckeyes/].
The Buckeyes' first spring practice on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, included 15 early enrollees and several transfers. This influx of new talent creates competition at almost every position. Notably absent were key players like Emeka Egbuka and Davison Igbinosun, who are dealing with injuries. Their absence gives other players valuable reps to showcase their abilities. The quarterback battle between Will Howard, Devin Brown, Lincoln Kienholz, and Air Noland is a major focus this spring. Howard got the first reps, but Brown and Kienholz also had opportunities to lead the offense.
