Ryan Shazier and his fiancee Michelle announce their first child is due in January

It’s been a tumultuous week in Buckeye Nation (and it’s only Wednesday). So, why don’t we start the morning off with some good news? Yesterday, Ohio State and Pittsburgh Steeler legend Ryan Shazier announced on Twitter that his fiancee Michelle Rodriguez is expecting the couple’s first child in January. Shazier has a son from a previous relationship.

A beloved figure in both Columbus and Pittsburgh, Shazier suffered a horrific back injury on Dec. 4 in a “Monday Night Football” game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Shazier suffered a spinal contusion that left him without use of his legs.
