You can do that when not enrolled? Who assumes liability in case of injury?

What happened to my ¤cash?
That’s a good question. I know of kids, personally, who have worked out with teams in advance of being on campus. Not going to be specific... but will say not tOSU. And not football.
But I’ve wondered the same.

TY HAMILTON, DE
Arriving at Ohio State less than six months after his older brother DaVon Hamilton concluded his Buckeye career, Ty Hamilton is on campus after a short drive to Columbus from Pickerington, completing a freshman class of versatile defensive linemen that also includes early enrollees Jacolbe Cowan and Darrion Henry.
While Hamilton could potentially end up either outside or inside with the Buckeyes, he’s a different player than his brother. He’s not built to be a massive nose tackle like DaVon, but he has good athleticism for his size – and certainly good bloodlines. Like his brother, Ty is a lower-ranked recruit who probably isn’t going to be an immediate impact player for the Buckeyes, but he’ll look to follow in his brother’s footsteps by developing into a starter and an NFL prospect by the time his Ohio State career is done.

Kid looks the part for sure. Had no idea he was such a specimen. Eager to see his development.

10. DL Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton is someone I saw play in-person multiple times when he was in high school and talked on many occasions about him being underrated. He has the best defensive line coach in college football working with him in Larry Johnson. Hamilton is checking in at 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds. And from what I am told he is off to a good start. I think he is likely to get some game reps this season for the Buckeyes.

Current Situation
Because of the two seniors at each of the defensive tackle positions, Ty Hamilton isn’t necessarily in the two-deep at either nose tackle or three technique just yet, but that could change during camp or at some point this season. He was at nose tackle this spring, but all of the defensive tackles are supposed to be able to play either spot, so where he ends up this season may also depend on how defensive line coach Larry Johnson wants to utilize Haskell Garrett and Taron Vincent.
What to Like
Teammate Antwuan Jackson called Ty Hamilton “big time” this spring, lauding him for his burst off the ball and overall strength. Jackson said Hamilton is just like his older brother, just not as tall. Ty Hamilton has seen what it takes to be a Buckeye long before he ever put on an Ohio State jersey. He’s taken that knowledge and has put it to good use on both the practice field and in the weight room. He’s a quick learner, but also realizes that it takes patience to become a reliable defensive tackle at this level.
What’s the Ceiling This Year?
Depending on how things shake out, Ty Hamilton could be in the two-deep this year and part of a four-man rotation on the inside. Even if he doesn’t end up in the two-deep, the Buckeyes could still very well end up rotating five or six defensive tackles. The employment of the Rushmen package on passing downs may cut into the overall number of snaps for the defensive tackles this season, which will also make it difficult for Larry Johnson to find too many snaps for Hamilton. That being said, he should be able to find some time in the second half of a few blowouts this year at the very least.

Ohio State could be starting twin defensive linemen in a year or so:

Tyleik Williams and Ty Hamilton took most of their reps with the second-team defense.

- On Ty Hamilton: "I think he's playing his best football by far, I think you guys have seen it. ... He works every day, he's there every day. We think he's playing at a starter level."
