A revival consisting of around 800 to 1,000 people took place at The Ohio State University.

According to The Lantern, Ohio State football players facilitated a baptism ceremony outside of Curl Market on Sunday.

Around 60 attendees were baptized that evening.

“Senior running back TreVeyon Henderson, senior defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau, graduate wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, former Buckeyes wide receiver Kamryn Babb and more Ohio State football players helped lead the ceremony, which was jointly hosted by various Christian churches and organizations based in Columbus,” The Lantern noted.

Throughout the evening, football players shared their testimonies as the crowd grew larger and larger.

“I was just doing my thing because it was fun, and I’ll tell you this: I was on High Street, and I enjoyed it,” former Buckeyes wide receiver Kamryn Babb said, according to The Lantern. “I had fun. But at the same time, I didn’t recognize my condition. I was spiritually dead. I was spiritually dead. I could go out there, and I could smile and laugh. I can go back to the {Woody Hayes Athletic Center}, and smile and laugh. But on the inside, I was broken. I was broken.”

By the end of the night, an estimated 60 students chose to get baptized into the Christian faith in four tubs of water near the stage.

“Don’t give up on God turning the campuses upside down this year!” Sean Feucht said.

From The Daily Wire:

After the players shared their messages, around 50 attendees joined them on stage to pray before many decided to be baptized, according to The Lantern. After people were baptized, volunteers helping with the event led them to a nearby building where they gave them Bibles and helped them read through Scripture.

“We were praying for years and years for an event like this, and we were praying with expectation. We serve a miracle-working God,” said Egbuka, who is expected to be the team’s top receiver in the upcoming season. “So we definitely had an expectation when it came out, but God did increasingly and abundantly more than what we thought. So, we’re just blessed and thankful.”

Tuimoloau added, “I don’t think anything I accomplish on the field compares to what is happening right now.”

Henderson, who led the Buckeyes with 926 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns in the 2023 season, agreed with Tuimoloau, stating, “Whatever I’ve done, this right here — what God is doing — is so much more important and so much bigger.”
