BREAKING NEWS: Ohio State Buckeyes football Talented player Jeremiah shocks the whole NCAA leaves Coach Ryan Day speechless as he donates two buses to team, as he signs  $32 million endorsement deal with…

Columbus, OH — June 14, 2025

Ohio State Buckeyes football star Jeremiah Thompson isn’t just making headlines for his play on the field—this time, it’s his heart off the field that’s captured national attention.

Just days after inking a high-profile endorsement deal with Powerade, the standout wide receiver stunned his teammates and coaching staff with an unexpected and generous gift: two brand-new charter buses for the team’s travel. The donation, worth over \$500,000, left head coach Ryan Day visibly emotional during a team meeting Thursday afternoon.

“No one saw it coming,” Coach Day said, his voice cracking. “He didn’t tell a soul. He just wanted to do something that would help the team—something bigger than himself. It’s not every day you see that kind of selflessness, especially from a 20-year-old.”

The gesture was Jeremiah’s way of giving back to the program he says “changed my life.” Raised in a modest home in Dayton, Ohio, Jeremiah remembers long road trips on old school buses in high school, watching his coaches and teammates stretch cramped legs and joke about the broken AC. “I promised myself that if I ever had the chance, I’d change that for someone,” he said.

Powerade confirmed that the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deal includes national ad campaigns, digital media features, and community engagement efforts—a platform Jeremiah plans to use to spotlight athlete mental health and youth education.

“This deal isn’t just about me,” Jeremiah said after practice. “It’s about every kid who dreams big, works hard, and remembers where they came from.”

The Buckeye community has flooded social media with praise and gratitude. “Jeremiah embodies what it means to be a Buckeye,” one fan posted. “Talent, humility, and heart.”

As the season approaches, all eyes will be on Jeremiah—not just for his explosive plays, but for the kind of teammate and leader he’s proving to be.

And thanks to his generosity, the Buckeyes will ride to their next game in comfort—and pride.
