Buckeyes Pay Forward at Nationwide Children's Hospital

On a day off before the team breaks for Christmas, the stars of the Big Ten champion Ohio State Buckeyes spent time at Nationwide Children's Hospital Friday, delighting upwards of 30 children, their parents and hospital staff.

Urban Meyer, Joey Bosa, Ezekiel Elliott, Michael Bennett, Doran Grant, Jeff Heuerman, Cameron Johnston, kicker Sean Nuernberger and Brutus Buckeye spent time handing out presents, taking photos and signing autographs.

Among the highlights, Bennett, the massive All-American defensive tackle, cradled a three-week-old baby, Bayah, while Bosa looked on with all of the DAWWWWWWs.
