Presser Bullets: Ryan Day Says Earl Little Jr. Underwent Cleanup Procedure on Knee, Julian Sayin Says Chris Henry Jr. Has “Done A Really Good Job”

It was a much more abbreviated press conference than usual, with each subject taking no more than five questions, but we’ve compiled a quick recap of what each of them had to say in their post-spring game press conferences.

Ryan Day

• Day started his press conference by thanking the fans for attending the game in the rain. “It was raining sideways for a bit,” Day said.
• On Tavien St. Clair: “Being the quarterback at Ohio State is not easy. He’s battling every day. I think you can see the talent, for sure... He’s been showing up every day with a good attitude, and that's important.”
• Day said Earl Little Jr. underwent a clean-up procedure on his knee. “He’ll be back here in a few weeks.”
• “I think we’re still a work in progress in all three phases,” Day said. “Each guy is in a race to get better ... then also we need to build chemistry in all three phases.”

Kenyatta Jackson Jr.

• Jackson thinks the depth of the defensive line has improved over the course of the spring.
• Jackson said Beau Atkinson took improving his mobility seriously this offseason.
• Jackson said it’s “good-on-good” every day going against the offensive line, and he thinks that unit took a step forward this offseason.

Julian Sayin

• On freshman wide receiver Chris Henry Jr.: “I think he’s done a really good job ... He’s a big, tall, fast receiver who can make great plays. I think you saw a couple today. I think he's got a bright future.”
• Sayin said he’s worked on building up the internal clock in his head and learning when it’s time to escape the pocket and extend plays.
• Asked what would have happened if it were live tackling and he had to run through contact, Sayin replied, “100% I’m scoring.”
• On Tavien St. Clair: “I think he’s done a good job this spring of developing and taking that next step.”
