The Ohio State football brotherhood is strong, even when the players aren’t yet in Columbus. In a video shared on X, you can see former Buckeye star quarterback C.J. Stroud talking with 2025 cornerback commit Devin Sanchez. The future Ohio State player gives the current Houston Texans starter his phone, as Stroud seems to be entering his number. It’s great to see that even while Stroud is preparing for his second season in the NFLf, that he would still take the time to talk to Sanchez. Clearly the distance between the two helped foster this relationship, as the 5-star corner lives in the Houston area. Buckeye past, and Buckeye future. 5 star commit Devin Sanchez connected with C.J. Stroud after a Texans training camp practice. @Devin2416 | @CJ7STROUD pic.twitter.com/qzxuTjMcmV — Chancellor Johnson (@ChancellorTV) July 26, 2024 This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this kind of interaction from former and future Buckeyes, and it surely won’t be the last.
