Ohio State players reported to Columbus yesterday for check-in and fall camps in preparation for the 2009 season.

One good point of note from the pictures of check-ins were that almost all of the players looked more cut in general. Even some of the new freshmen like John Simon and Storm Klein looked physically ready to step on the field.

Having said that, it's very clear to point out that the Buckeyes are deep in the front seven, especially at defensive end.

Only one defensive lineman was lost last season due to graduation in Nader Abdallah.

Returning are Thaddeus Gibson, Cameron Heyward and Nathan Williams, who were part of a talented DE rotation that was highly effective towards the end of the season.
