Ohio State football is playing its spring game today, and the team is honoring former Buckeye Dwayne Haskins in many ways, after the 24-year-old quarterback died last weekend. First, they painted his initials on the field and players are wearing “DH” decals on their helmets during the game.
But one player is honoring Haskins in his own way. Quarterback C.J. Stroud is playing in Haskins’s jersey for the game. The two already shared a number, but Stroud is wearing Haskins’s name plate as well.
Stroud had already been practicing in Haskins’s jersey with the messages “LLDH7” and “RIH Simba” written on it, and the quarterback clearly looked up to him.
