Scarlet Sunrise: Ohio State announces spring game ticket information

Good morning, Ohio State fans, and welcome to the Scarlet Sunrise! Football will always be our focus, but every day we’ll cover news, notes and analysis from across Buckeyes sports. Join us each morning to get caught up on everything you missed in the world of Ohio State football, recruiting, basketball and more.

Ohio State spring game ticket info

Ohio State’s spring game will be held April 13 at noon. Although parking will be free, tickets will once again cost $5 and can be purchased here beginning Friday, Feb. 22. This will be Ohio State fans’ first chance to see Ryan Day as the Buckeyes’ full-time head coach as well as the first look at new transfer quarterback Justin Fields.

The customary lacrosse/football doubleheader will not take place this year because the men’s lacrosse team will be on the road facing Johns Hopkins in Baltimore that weekend.

Paris Johnson talks with Birm

Lettermen Row recruiting czar Birm’s newest feature continues to deliver the goods, as this week’s guest is Cincinnati (Ohio) St. Xavier 5-star offensive tackle Paris Johnson. In this video Q&A with Birm, Johnson explains why it’s important to him to make additional visits to other schools despite his Ohio State commitment, how Urban Meyer played a role in his decision to stay committed to the Buckeyes and more in this week’s edition of Birminology.

Keep an eye on lineman Terah Edwards

There are a number of really talented young players in Ohio who have, for one reason or another, remained relatively under-the-radar as the recruiting calendar turns over to 2020. One of those players is Terah Edwards, a 6-foot-4, 310-pound two-way lineman at Groveport Madison High School, just about a 20-minute drive to the southeast of Columbus.

With offers from almost 20 schools already — including Michigan State, Northwestern, Iowa State, Purdue and Tennessee — Edwards is becoming a hot property around the Midwest. But there’s no doubt that his dream football scenario ends with an opportunity to play at Ohio State.

“I’ve always rooted for the Buckeyes and getting an offer from them would be a blessing,” Edwards told Lettermen Row. “I’m going to do everything in my power to prove myself to them.”

Edwards has started establishing a relationship with the Ohio State coaching staff, slowly but surely. There is an increased focus on recruiting Ohio, but when it comes to Larry Johnson’s position group, it’s all about who Johnson wants the most — not geography. Edwards attended Friday Night Lights at Ohio State last summer, but to this point, he hasn’t heard much from the legendary line coach. He has started to talk a bit more with new linebackers coach Al Washington, however.

Must-win for Ohio State hoops

Ohio State basketball hosts Big Ten cellar-dweller Northwestern on Wednesday in a game that the Buckeyes can’t afford to lose. The Wildcats recently lost to spiraling Nebraska by 9, if that gives any indication as to what kind of mess they are right now.

On Tuesday, Chris Holtmann previewed the matchup.
