Superstar NBA forward and avid Ohio State Buckeyes fan, LeBron James, praised running back J.K. Dobbins and defensive end Chase Young in the Buckeyes 38-7 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers.
While those two were the crux of the Buckeyes offense and defense, this was a full team effort. Players like Justin Fields, Chris Olave, and Damon Arnette were all highly active and dominant as well.
However, if we’re honest, it was Dobbins and Young that stole the show.
After being held to under 55 yards at the half, Dobbins exploded. He ended with 163 yards and 2 touchdowns on 20 carries. He also notched three receptions for 58 yards.
Dobbins looked like a man among boys, although Wisconsin does boast one of the NCAA’s best defenses. That said, his efforts were noticed by King James himself.
As for Dobbins, it wasn’t just an NBA legend that noticed but a Buckeyes legend as well. Cowboys All-Pro running back Ezekiel Elliott also showed Dobbins some love on Twitter.
On top of that, Elliott retweeted both of LeBron’s above tweets. Oh, but LeBron wasn’t done there. He praised stud defensive end, Chase Young, as well.
Young ended the game with four sacks and two forced fumbles. He also added six solo tackles which included five tackles for loss. He was a game-changer on the line.
The King noticed that effort.
The Buckeyes won 38-7, and the love from superstar Buckeye fans was just icing on the cake.
