Pairing one of the state’s most beloved and famous athletes with one of the state’s most beloved and famous programs? Yeah, that’s a recipe for success.
Last season, Ohio State and LeBron got together for one of the top games of the year — No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan — to debut the Soldier 10 cleat.
