A team of student reporters from The Lantern newspaper reports the event was led by members of the school's football team who preached the Gospel before 800-1,000 people. Some campus ministries and churches helped to organize it.

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.

A video created by a TikTokker named Kevin Walsh captures some powerful moments from the event (Click Here and scroll down to watch it).

Walsh wrote in a related Instagram post, "I can barely put to words how amazing this Jesus revival is on the Ohio State University campus. Countless attendees surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ, and professed their faith through water baptism." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here

Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka also shared his excitement for what God is doing. "We were praying for years and years for an event like this, and we were praying with expectation—we serve a miracle-working God," he said. "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 so blessed and thankful."
