The memorable moments just keep coming for the defending College Football Playoff national champions. In fact, one such instance took place on Monday when the Ohio State football team made its visit to the White House in front of President Donald Trump and OSU alum and Vice President JD Vance.
It was a moment in time all of the players, coaches, and support personnel won’t soon forget, and many were there to capture some of the best of the visit on social media. From Vance “fumbling” the CFP trophy, to Trump’s address to the team, to many of the smiles on the players faces, it’s something that is truly special no matter what side of the isle your political allegiances lie.
We thought it’d be fun to capture some of these moments we found on “X” for your viewing pleasure. So, without further pomp and circumstance, here are some of the best sights and sounds of Ohio State football’s visit to the White House on Monday found on social media.

“He was at a level nobody else has been at, from what I hear. Nobody could stop him, even as a freshman.”
