The annual rite of passage that is Ohio State football hotel check-in day took place on Monday.
Over the span of a couple hours on Monday evening, members of the 2025 Ohio State football team arrived at the hotel where they’ll be staying for the next two weeks as the Buckeyes go through the dog days of preseason camp. As always, Eleven Warriors was on hand to document the occasion, giving you an up-close look at Ohio State’s players in a setting outside of Ohio Stadium and the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
You can see our photos from the evening in the slideshow below.
Ohio State’s all-business approach to its national championship defense was on display, as there weren’t any particularly humorous outfits like Liam McCullough’s shirtception and Toby Wilson’s onesie of years past, though numerous players arrived wearing fashionable Buckeye-themed shirts.
While a few players – including star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith – snuck in before or after our time at the hotel entrance, we captured photos of nearly 100 players as they arrived to come together as a team for their second week of preseason camp.
