Ohio State football 2024 practice news: Camp storylines, depth chart predictions by trusted Buckeyes insiders

Ryan Day will begin his sixth full season as the head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes on August 31 when the Akron Zips travel to Ohio Stadium for an in-state battle.

With the additions of USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon this offseason, it's only going to be tougher sledding, but Day returns a loaded Ohio State football roster that will open the 2024 season at No. 2 in the Coaches Poll.

Ohio State training camp opened earlier this month and reports are already pouring in about true freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2024.

Top Ohio State Buckeyes practice storylines

Another major storyline for Buckeyes football entering Ohio State training camp will be how different will this offense be under Chip Kelly. Former Ohio State wide receiver Brian Hartline was the offensive coordinator last season but he was made the co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach this offseason when Ohio State initially hired Bill O'Brien. When O'Brien left to take the head coaching job at Boston College just a few weeks later, the Buckeyes made waves once again by hiring Kelly, the head coach at UCLA to fill the role.

Kelly won 25 games the last three seasons with the Bruins and was also a head coach of the Oregon Ducks, the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers. He's widely considered one of the brightest offensive minds in the game and Day coached under Kelly at several stop throughout their careers. So how exactly will the offense change with Kelly at the helm and how will Hartline adjust to a more limited role after it was confirmed that Kelly would be calling plays this season?

Another major storyline for Buckeyes football entering Ohio State training camp is how the offensive line has been gelling. New offensive coordinator Chip Kelly will welcome back four starters (Josh Fryar, Josh Simmons, Carson Hinzman and Donovan Jackson) from last year's team and Alabama transfer Seth McLaughlin will slide in at center after starting 13 games at that position for the Crimson Tide in 2023.

The addition of McLaughlin will push Hinzman over to right guard, where he's battling Tegra Tshabola for the starting role. Tshabola was a top-40 prospect nationally in the Class of 2022 and he played in all 13 games as a reserve last season. It has the potential to be a dominant unit and Kelly has already singled the offensive line out as one of the strongest position groups on the roster.
