The loss of Dwayne is beyond tragic and extremely difficult to process. For those who knew him closely, he was much more than a great football player. He had a giant heart, old soul and an infectious smile. The Ohio State community and our entire football program are heartbroken.
I could not be more proud of Justin Fields and I support his efforts. He loves Ohio State. He loves his teammates. We ask our players to be leaders and he’s leading. I’m honored to coach him and this team. #FIGHT.
Had to post as a proud dad. In hoop tournament RJ was sucker punched in game, walked away without responding (better man than me) with bloody nose came back, scored 17 and then went on to win the Championship. #lifelessons#toughlove
Justin’s health, toughness and work ethic have never been an issue and I am incredibly proud of his professionalism and the character he displays on and off the field. The fact that he never missed a game at Ohio State speaks volumes about how he takes care of himself.
Best and most respected athletic director in the country but an even better person. Forever in debt to you for taking a chance with this first time HC. #keepswinging
We’re proud to welcome back and announce Ohio State Football’s new Defensive Coordinator: @DB_CoachCoombs

An emotional Gus Johnson gives a heartfelt tribute to Bo Chapman, the late son of his stat spotter Jeff Chapman.
Our thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.
Excited to have @CoreyDennis_ as Quarterbacks Coach. His familiarity with our system and ability to build relationships will be a great asset to develop our players and bring in the best talent to Ohio State!
There is no doubt as to why our players demonstrate high character & fight so hard; they have been raised by phenomenal parents. Our entire coaching staff recognizes & appreciates the privilege that comes from coaching such special people, & we love them & their families! #Fight
This letter clearly shows where the #FIGHT in our players has come from. As a member of this coaching staff, I want to show my appreciation to our amazing parents. It’s an honor & privilege to #FIGHT along with you. Thanks so much for your support.
The Mamba Mentality of Kobe Bryant will always be something to strive for. The world lost one of the greats. Thoughts and prayers are with all the families who lost loved ones in this tragedy.
This is what sports is all about. This why we coach, for moments like this. What no one will ever see is all the tough times you have been through. Couldn’t be happier for you @JHilliard47
Go Bucks!!!
On behalf of the entire The Ohio State football program we would like to thank all of the First Responders, Medical Personnel and Essential Workers for everything they are doing! #GoBucks#Fight
Felt like just yesterday I was down in Texas recruiting you! Lethal route runner with serious big play tendencies; proud of the player and man you’ve grown into, @GarrettWilson_V! #DevelopedHere#Fight
Coming off the road and flying back to Columbus for the @OhioStateHoops game tonight. Let’s come out in a big way and show this team how much we appreciate them! Go Bucks!!
I’m not sure who number 20 is for the Raiders but please let him know whoever he trained with needs a significant raise because his technique, patience & lateral movement is power point worthy ®️
We will suspend all official and unofficial visits to our campus through April 20 while we continue to monitor and adjust to today’s changing issues. In addition, our coaches will not recruit off campus this spring while we follow the university’s new temporary travel guidelines.
Nothing but the upmost respect to Billy Davis. After several discussions I support his decision to pursue opportunities in the NFL. One organization will be getting a great coach and man.
With Damon Arnette going in the first round @OhioStateFB now has had 6 first round CBs in the last 5 drafts...Next closest is Florida with 2 after Henderson was selected earlier tonight
