The wait is finally over, and a Buckeye has reclaimed a place at football’s highest level.
**COLUMBUS, Ohio** – While the
current Ohio State Buckeyes are still
reveling in their recent college football
national championship, one former
Buckeye has added another prestigious
title to the program’s storied history:
Super Bowl champion.
For the first time in several years, an
Ohio State alum can once again claim a
Super Bowl ring. Wide receiver **Parris
Campbell**, who spent the season
bouncing between the Philadelphia
Eagles’ active roster and practice squad,
played a role in the team’s **40-22**
victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in
**Super Bowl LIX**.
Although Campbell’s on-field
contributions were limited—recording
**six receptions for 30 yards**
throughout the season—his presence on
the Eagles’ roster ensured that Ohio
State’s tradition of producing
championship-level talent extended
beyond the college ranks. With this
victory, Campbell becomes the **33rd
former Buckeye** to win a Super Bowl,
adding to the long list of Ohio State
alumni who have celebrated at football’s
highest level.
A Drought Finally Ends.
Ohio State has been a powerhouse in
college football, consistently sending top
talent to the NFL. However, in recent
years, Buckeye alumni had struggled to
secure a Super Bowl victory. Before
Campbell’s triumph with the Eagles, it
had been several seasons since an Ohio
State player was part of a championship-
winning team.
The win not only restores the program’s
presence at the pinnacle of the sport but
also serves as a reminder of **Ohio
State’s continued pipeline to the NFL**.
Every year, the Buckeyes produce elite
talent, and while many go on to have
successful professional careers, securing
a Super Bowl ring is a rare
accomplishment.
A Season of Perseverance.
Campbell’s path to a Super Bowl title was
not without challenges. After signing
with the Eagles in the offseason, he
found himself navigating the ups and
downs of a player on the fringe of the
active roster. He moved between the
practice squad and game-day lineup,
always staying ready to contribute when
called upon.
Despite a limited role, Campbell
remained engaged and prepared,
embodying the mentality that Ohio State
instills in its players—**a team-first
approach and relentless work ethic**.
That perseverance paid off as he now
holds the most coveted prize in
professional football.
Ohio State’s Super Bowl Legacy.
With Campbell’s victory, **Ohio State
now boasts 33 Super Bowl champions**
among its alumni. The Buckeyes have
long been one of the premier programs
for developing NFL-ready talent, with
dozens of former players making a name
for themselves at the professional level.
Over the years, some of the most
recognizable names in football have
come from Ohio State and gone on to
claim Super Bowl glory, including **Mike
Vrabel, Santonio Holmes, Malcolm
Jenkins, and Ezekiel Elliott**. Campbell
now joins that esteemed list, ensuring
that Ohio State’s legacy continues to
shine on the game’s biggest stage.
What’s Next for Campbell?
With a Super Bowl ring now in his
possession, Campbell’s next challenge
will be securing a more consistent role in
the Eagles’ offense or elsewhere in the
league. As he enters another offseason,
he will look to build on this experience
and solidify himself as a reliable target in
the NFL.
For now, though, he and his fellow
Buckeyes can celebrate knowing that
**Ohio State’s championship pedigree
extends from Columbus to the grandest
stage in football**. The drought is over,
and once again, a Buckeye stands atop
the NFL world.
