Already A Fan Favorite, Zed Key Emerging As Crucial Player for Ohio State Basketball in Sophomore Season

It didn’t take long for Zed Key to become a fan favorite during his first season at Ohio State.

On the floor, Key became a steady, fundamentally sound contributor off the bench, averaging 5.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. Both on and off the floor, Key brought an infectiously positive personality to the Buckeyes and became popular for his on-court celebrations of pointing “finger guns” when he draws a foul on a made shot and “raising the roof” when he makes a dunk.

Whether he’s playing in a big game at the Schottenstein Center or walking between classes on Ohio State’s campus, Key says his personality doesn’t change, as he tries to spread positivity to everyone around him.
