Columbus, Ohio – The Ohio State National Championship football team will have additional jewelry to show during their White House visit on Monday.
Buckeyes received three rings between the first and second quarter of the spring match on Saturday at the Ohio stadium.
“It’s a surreal moment. I love this place,” said defensive line player Jack Sawyer, one of the team captains.
The players and coaches of the 2024 championship team received a ring for having made the university football playoffs, one from the CFP for winning it and a championship ring of Ohio State.
The elders of the state of Ohio – many of whom are preparing for the NFL recovery in less than two weeks – showed their rings during a ceremony at the 50 yards line.
“They are champions. So yes, that makes you smile when you see him,” said coach Ryan Day after the spring match.
The top of the national championship ring opens and shows the scores of the four games of the Ohio State PCF, with the 34-23 victory over Notre Dame at the top. Inside the ring are pieces of the confetti that fell to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta after the Ohio State won the match. The confetti floats on a replica of the field.
The three rings also have the Mantra of the day of the season to “leave without a doubt”. Inside the rings is a cross, which means the team’s message and relying on its faith during the season.
“That makes that. I have long been to come for these rings, but a combination of a lot of hard work, sacrifice and love when I see them,” said quarter-arrière Will Howard.
Day was pregnant with no spring match, given that the Buckeyes were only two months of 16 games. He initially planned to have an open practice with a limited play action, but the opener being against Texas on August 30, an reverse day course.
“I’m glad we made the spring match. I would have liked we could stay there for another four hours and get these representatives and make these guys work,” said Day. “We know who our first opponent is, so we know that we have to hit the floor on the move. There is not much margin of error.”
