Ohio State football announces senior day and 2026 schedule events

Ohio State football will hold its senior day ceremony on Sept. 5, 2026, prior to the home opener against Ball State. This change moves the event from its traditional spot before the final home game, with coach Ryan Day stating the adjustment is meant to minimize distractions ahead of Ohio State's rivalry game against Michigan on Nov. 28. Additionally, Jim Tressel will be inducted into the Ohio Stadium Ring of Honor on the same date. Ohio State has 23 players eligible for recognition this year, though the full list of honorees is pending. The complete 2026 schedule includes matchups against Texas, Oregon, and Michigan.
