There’s no surer sign that football season is fast approaching than Ohio State beat writers standing outside a hotel to watch the players enter.
As has become an annual rite of passage on the Ohio State beat, members of the media gathered outside the team hotel Sunday night as the Buckeyes arrived to begin their two-week life in team during the pre-season camp.
Ohio State players have also embraced tradition by donning smart t-shirts and other creative outfits for their paparazzi snaps, and Eleven Warriors was on hand to document the best looks.
Buckeye offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr. paid tribute to former Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins:
