Aspiring coach, makes sense why he chose to be a PWO at OSU as opposed to playing for a schollie at a smaller school

A MOVIE IN THE MAKING. This past season, Emeka Egbuka, Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate and Brandon Inniss received the most attention in Ohio State’s wide receiver room. Yet, there were more than four pass-catchers in Zone 6 – 12, to be exact. One of those 12 was Nolan Baudo, a sophomore walk-on from Chicago.
This week, Tim O’Brien of Baudo’s hometown news outlet, The Beverly Review, interviewed him to learn more about his experience winning a national championship with the Buckeyes. Baudo, whose Ohio State bio states that he is one of the most popular people on the team, had some excellent stuff to share.
The article, like Ohio State’s championship run, started with the team’s loss to [REDACTED].
“The loss to [REDACTED] was a heartbreaker. I don’t even know how to describe it,” Baudo told O’Brien. “That (players-only) meeting though, that will be a movie one day. When we walked out of that room, I thought, ‘There is no way we’re not winning the national championship.”
Baudo, Tate’s teammate at Marist High School before Tate transferred to IMG Academy, said he and his teammates are still processing the emotions of the roller-coaster season that ended with a College Football Playoff title.
“It was unreal. I’m just so happy for the guys and the team,” he said. “The work we put in to be in that spot is indescribable. We showed everyone in the country who we are. The game brought me to tears. I was bawling my eyes out and hugging anybody I could find. It was just so amazing. This team, these guys will be legends in Columbus forever.”
Baudo’s emotion comes as a result of The Brotherhood, he said.
“The love I have for these guys, it’s real. We’ve created that brotherhood at Ohio State,” Baudo said. “These are my best friends for life. The win wasn’t about me. Seeing what the guys did working to get the win, it was awesome.”
As I said, Baudo had some excellent stuff – except for one part, being the last part: The win wasn’t about me. Seeing what the guys did…
No, Baudo didn’t earn a snap in the College Football Playoff or score a touchdown in the championship game, but Ohio State’s championship is as much about him as it is about Egbuka, Smith or Tate. Day repeats the phrase, “We are gonna need everybody,” all the time. That means everybody, from head coach to walk-on to low-level staffer – everybody contributed to the Buckeyes winning the title!
