Standouts From Ohio State Fall Camp Day One

Ohio State opened fall camp, and Tony Gerdeman and Juck Miletti were on campus for the Buckeyes’ first practice to break down the biggest takeaways.

They discuss the absence of freshman running back Legend Bey, a strong day from Isaiah West, the early look at Ohio State’s running back rotation, Devin McCuin’s encouraging start, Chris Henry Jr.’s growing role, and the first-team linebacker combination.

The conversation also covers Devin Sanchez’s confidence entering Year Two, the early offensive line configuration, buzz around Jay Timmons, Beau Atkinson’s physical development, freshman defensive linemen to watch, and more observations from Day One of fall camp.
