It is with deep sadness that we remember and honor the lives of Ohio State Buckeyes players who tragically lost their lives in a recent plane crash.
The incident has left the sports community and Buckeye Nation in mourning as we reflect on the lives and contributions of these young athletes.
Among the victims were Cody Simon, Pike Road, and three other promising players whose names we hold in our hearts during this difficult time. Each of these individuals was more than just a member of a football team; they were dedicated athletes, cherished teammates, and beloved members of their families.
Cody Simon was known for his exceptional skills on the field and his leadership off it. As a linebacker, Simon’s athleticism and dedication to the game earned him respect from coaches, teammates, and fans alike. His loss is deeply felt not only by those who knew him personally but also by the broader sports community that admired his talent and work ethic.

The names of the other three players, though not mentioned here, are equally significant in this moment of remembrance. Each of them brought their unique skills and personalities to the Ohio State Buckeyes, contributing to the team’s successes and creating lasting memories with their teammates and supporters.
In the wake of this tragedy, it is important to come together as a community to support one another. The loss of these young athletes is a profound reminder of the fragility of life and the impact that a single event can have on many lives. As we remember Cody Simon, Pike Road, and the other players, let us also honor their memory by celebrating their achievements and the joy they brought to the game.
