On Thursday afternoon, the Ohio State Buckeyes learned they were losing a valuable piece of the team’s offense.
Starting tight end Jeremy Ruckert took to Twitter with a message for his family, coaches and Buckeyes fans. In the statement, he announced he’s heading off to the NFL.
“To Buckeye Nation: Thank you for the support you have shown – it is always felt no matter where I go,” Ruckert said on Thursday. “There’s truly nothing like playing in the Shoe with 100,000 on their feet cheering us on. I’m going to miss those moments and I want to make sure it’s known that I am extremely proud to call myself a Buckeye.”
