Ohio State football awarded the Block O jersey to wide receiver Brandon Inniss ahead of the program's season opener. The tradition, established in 2020, honors former Buckeyes defensive end Bill Willis, who was the first person of color to start in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns. Head coach Ryan Day presented the honor to recognize Inniss for his toughness, accountability, and character within the team culture. Although the five-star recruit has yet to produce a breakout performance, the coaching staff selected him as a representative of team values for the current season. The Buckeyes begin their schedule this Saturday at home against Ball State. The team released a video feature detailing the significance of the award and its connection to the program's history.
