Quarterback C.J. Stroud, receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and safety Ronnie Hickman were also in attendance.
NBC4 confirmed that the Buckeyes will report to fall camp on Wednesday, August 3 and have its first practice on August 4. As always, the expectations are high for the Buckeyes.
“Some places, going 11-2 and winning the Rose Bowl is a great year. At Ohio State it’s not,” Day said.
When asked about the Buckeyes defense, Day said he expects OSU to have a “top-ten defense” under its new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles.
“A lot of those guys are coming back for their second, third or fourth year and so we’re more experienced than we were last year,” Day said.
On Tuesday, Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren said he will be aggressive when it comes to further expansion after adding UCLA and USC in June.
“I thought it was a great move I think getting the L.A. market is excellent. Now the Big Ten is a national conference from coast to coast. It allows us some power moving forward,” Day said.
The OSU coach said his players are feeling the excitement for an “electric” opener against Notre Dame under the lights at the Horseshoe on September 3.
