Ohio State is enjoying the rewards of its national championship.
In the NIL era, part of those rewards are newfound commercial opportunities—and Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard was quick to jump on board, starring in a Dr Pepper spot that he posted to his Instagram page.
The spot is intentionally cheeky, and Howard appears to be having a blast working the camera. Does this man know his angles? Possibly, but probably not. Even so, he’s leaving it all out there on the field, just like you would expect from a true champion.
“You better have gotten paid a lot for this,” offensive lineman Luke Montgomery replied in the comments of the post.
“This video sums you up as a person perfectly.” wrote Ryan Day’s son RJ in another.
Across the board, Howard’s teammates did not hold back.
