COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio State Buckeyes will be honored at the White House on Monday for winning the College Football Playoff National Championship earlier this year.
President Donald Trump will join head coach Ryan Day and dozens of players to recognize Ohio State’s championship.
10TV will provide a live stream of the ceremony, which is scheduled to begin around 3 p.m.
“It’s an honor to be invited,” Day said last month. “It’s customary and I remember growing up and watching the national championship teams going to the White House and I always looked at that as ‘Man, what an honor that would be.'”
The Buckeyes posted a group photo on X of the team, with Carnell Tate holding the championship trophy, in front of the Lincoln Memorial around 11:30 a.m. on Monday.
