Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins burst on the scene his freshman year in 2017, broke the program’s freshman rushing record, and hasn’t looked back since. There was the splitting of significant time with fellow Buckeye running back Mike Weber last year, but he’s the clear feature back in 2019. There’s simply no denying his talent on the football field.
But did you know the story of Dobbins’ life before he got to Ohio State? You may have heard snippets about the trials and tribulations he and his family went through in La Grange, Texas, but if you’re like me you had no idea everything all he had to overcome.
BTN featured J.K. Dobbins in their popular sports documentary “The Journey,” and it’s one you don’t want to miss.
Click on the below and watch the complete feature thanks to BTN and the sharing of the video by Dobbins himself. Like many kids Ohio State has recruited recently, he’s as good as a person off-the-field as he is a player on it.
