    On April 9th, 2022, former Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins was tragically struck and killed by a dump truck in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, while trying to cross the road.

    Haskins was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers at the time, working out with other NFL players, and the 24-year-old quarterback was looking to retake control of his NFL career.

    Haskins started 14 games in 2018 for Ohio State, throwing for 4,831 yards and 50 touchdowns. Haskins always wanted to be a Buckeye, and viral videos of him when he was little, touring the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, were always shown during Ohio State games.

    Haskins was drafted by the Washington Redskins, now known as Commanders, in the first round of the 2018 draft, but after two seasons, he was released from the team.

    Many fans took to social media to give a heartwarming tribute to Haskins on the third anniversary of his passing, and here are some of their reactions.
