C.J. Stroud wanted to give Dwayne Haskins one last moment in the Shoe, and he did by throwing a touchdown pass while wearing Haskins’ jersey in Saturday’s spring game.
When asked about the moment following the game, Stroud said he’d prefer to keep it private.
Haskins’ 2018 campaign isn’t an easy one to forget. The Maryland native rewrote the Buckeye record book when it comes to quarterback play, and when asked at the start of the week if he would be Ohio State’s head coach right now if not for Haskins, Ryan Day said “probably not.”Ryan Day Says Ohio State Players and Staff Are “Going to Lean On Each Other” After Dwayne Haskins’ Death
Stroud said it was Haskins’ prolific 2018 season that spurred on his interest in coming to Ohio State in the first place, having set the tone for the best quarterback play in the history of the program, statistically, over the past several years. But just as important to Stroud is that Haskins is remembered for the kind of person he was, particularly in the wake of a couple negative comments made about the first-round draft pick by members of the national media in the moments that followed his death. Stroud addressed those after the game Saturday, vouching for Haskins in the process.
