The definitive chronicle of the Ohio State Buckeyes’ 2024 college football championship season

In Buckeye Brotherhood, Bill Rabinowitz (The Chase) takes readers inside the Ohio State Buckeye’s legendary run to their first national championship in a decade. Navigating a new world for college football, featuring conference realignments, NIL deals, and a brand new playoff format, OSU shook off disappointing regular season losses and came together when it mattered most.

​Featuring in-depth reporting and an unforgettable cast of characters--including newcomers Caleb Downs, Will Howard, and Jeremiah Smith alongside experienced Buckeyes Emeka Egbuka and Jack Sawyer--this is the story of how the team built their own brand of football, silenced their critics, and returned championship glory to The Ohio State University.
