COLUMBUS — Ohio State’s annual spring game is Saturday as the team wraps up spring practice.

The Buckeyes will be on the field in Ohio Stadium for the first time since the tragic death of former quarterback Dwayne Haskins.

“Lot of moments in the day that will be deep thoughts, just our memories with Dwayne, playing in that stadium,” Ryan Day, Ohio State Head Coach, said.

The team will wear “DH” decals on their helmets to honor the memory of Dwayne Haskins. There will be a moment of silence prior to the national anthem and a video tribute to Dwayne just before halftime. The memorial in front of the North Rotunda will remain through the spring game.

“It’ll be nice to have Buckeye Nation together for this event on Saturday to celebrate our team and the hard work we put in this spring but also to get everybody together to honor Dwayne and I think that’s appropriate.”

The Spring Game is set to kickoff at 12:05 p.m. Tickets are $7 and available at http://go.osu.edu/fbtix. General admission prices are $7. Service charges may apply. However, on Friday there will be no fees for tickets purchased online.
