Kamryn Babb's first-career catch and touchdown will be a moment he will remember forever.
After tearing his ACL four times – twice in his left knee and twice in his right knee – in five years, Babb has endured tremendous hardship during his Ohio State career. But he never quit, and last weekend, all his hard work to recover, rehabilitate and eventually play for the Buckeyes paid off with an 8-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter against Indiana.
Babb's touchdown catch was the story of the week regarding Ohio State football and made headlines locally and nationally. On Saturday, ESPN's College GameDay detailed the fifth-year wide receiver's journey to that moment with interviews of Babb, Ryan Day and Brian Hartline, among others, including behind-the-scenes video and images of Babb's recovery process.
To be embraced by their love in that moment thats what Ill remember forever.

In case you missed it, Eleven Warriors has also featured Babb's touchdown catch several times this week. After the Indiana game, Dan Hope wrote of Babb finally receiving his moment with the Buckeyes. On Monday, the Ohio State media team released an almost six-minute video featuring the moment with interviews of Babb, Mickey Marotti and others. And on Wednesday, Ramzy Nasrallah wrote an over 3,500-word long-form feature on Babb titled "Unbreakable".
