Former Ohio State Players Respond to Tragic Death of Will Smith

Former Ohio State great and Super Bowl champion Will Smith was tragically murdered early late Saturday night in New Orleans — the city which he starred at defensive end for the Saints.

The news shocked us all, but it certainly hit home with some of Smith's former teammates at Ohio State as well as some other great Buckeyes. Reactions from other fellow Ohio State players from all years are below.
