Ryan Day recalls getting fined for skipping award show to recruit CJ Stroud with Mike Yurcich

The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes have a big test this weekend when they go on the road to face No. 13 Penn State. Ohio State’s head coach Ryan Day has a good relationship with Penn State’s offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich.

In a recent press conference, Day reflected back on his time with Yurcich in 2019, reminiscing about a story talking about recruiting stud QB C.J. Stroud together and missing an awards show that resulted in a fine:

Ryan Day has a great relationship with Penn State OC Mike Yurcich, who coached at Ohio State in 2019.

That year, Day and Yurcich traveled to California for a visit with C.J. Stroud on the same day as an ESPN CFB award show.

Day was fined for missing the event.
