Many Buckeye fans went to social media to pay tribute to their former quarterback, who would’ve turned 27 years old. Here is a look at many of the touching posts on social media.

Haskins Started A New Quarterback Movement At Ohio State

Haskins was the first quarterback from Ohio State to be drafted in the first round since Art Schlicter in 1992. Then, Justin Fields and CJ Stroud would follow in Haskins’s footsteps, being drafted in round one, making it five Buckeye quarterbacks to go in the first round in program history, and joining Don Scott, who got picked in 1941.

Even though Haskins only started for one full season in Coulumbs, he left a legacy and will be in Ohio State fans’ hearts forever.
