Ohio State’s practice uniforms don’t typically feature the last names of the players wearing them, but there was one notable exception at Saturday’s spring game.
As the Buckeye offense took the field for its opening series of the intrasquad scrimmage at Ohio Stadium, C.J. Stroud’s No. 7 jersey stood out from the rest. There was a surname sewn between the Buckeye quarterbacks’s shoulder pads, only it wasn’t his own.
Sporting “Haskins Jr.” on his back in the same number the late Ohio State quarterback used to wear, Stroud needed just 10 plays to pay homage to the record-shattering Buckeye passer.
