Today was Ohio State’s championship celebration at the White House, and President Obama had fun with the Buckeyes in attendance. He led the O-H-I-O chant, did Joey Bosa’s trademark shrug with the OSU defensive end, and asked Cardale Jones about his family.

Obama also shouted out Buckeye QB J.T. Barrett, and the young signal caller was stunned that the POTUS knew who he was and asked how he’s recovering from the season-ending broken ankle he suffered against Michigan. 

President Obama knew who I was and asked about my ankle.
