LeBron James delivered a championship to his home state for the first time in 50 years. So it isn’t much of a surprise that he got sideline passes for the biggest college football game of the opening weekend, held in Ohio. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar and his son were on the sidelines, watching Ohio State fight hard for a win over Notre Dame.

The home crowd erupted when they saw the NBA superstar and his son rooting for Ohio State. Knowing that Bronny is in the process of choosing a college, the supporters launched recruitment chants, hollering “We want Bronny!” As the crowd chanted his name, Bronny showed little to no reaction.

The Class of 2023 four-star prospect is someone that Ohio State would love to add to their roster.  While he may not be close to what his father was during his high school days, he has the ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. He thrives as a combo guard and has shown signs of consistency from beyond the arc.
