Robert Landers set his phone to silent, as he often does after a long day, when he went to bed on Saturday night.
Landers and his Ohio State football teammates were coming off their second day of preseason camp, with their third August practice set for Sunday morning, and he wanted to make sure he got a good night’s sleep. But he still asked his brother Trey, who was going out in their hometown of Dayton that night, to let him know when he got home.
Landers woke up to a bevy of missed calls and text messages.
