More than 20 Ohio State football players were photographed wearing Jesus shirts as the team moved into a hotel for fall camp.
Players wore shirts that read “Follow Jesus,” “Jesus Won,” “Jesus Saves,” “God Got Me,” and “Just Here To Give God Glory,” among other slogans.

Fans and followers on Instagram praised the players. One person said, “Man I’m loving the way my favorite team is reppin’ the King of Kings.” Another wrote, “Love the shirts! Jesus is Lord.”
Even rival Michigan fans showed their appreciation for the players’ drip [slang for what a person is wearing]. One said, “Michigan fan here, I have gained so much respect for this program after this post.” Another posted, “So hard to root against these guys seeing them with the Jesus Won shirts on.”
In July, Ohio State tight end Gee Scott Jr. preached at One Church in Gahanna, Ohio, and even got the opportunity to baptize seven of his teammates—something for which Scott said the Holy Spirit prepared him back in January.
“I saw this idea of guys on my team lined up to get baptized,” Scott told the congregation. So Scott started inviting his teammates to church, but he explained that he began to become discouraged when his teammates weren’t responding in the manner he had hoped.
But “God don’t move on our time,” Scott said. “God gonna move on his time. [And] today you guys are getting ready to witness that dream come to fruition.”
