It was great to see Lindenhurst native Jeremy Ruckert shine for Ohio State football this season.

Ruckert had an incredible one-handed catch down the middle in the first half against Alabama in the national championship.

He also had two touchdowns against Clemson in the Sugar Bowl.

During his junior season he had 13 catches for 151 yards and 5 touchdowns.

“A ton of ups and downs this year but nothing can change the fact that the love this group has for each other is unmatched,” he wrote on Instagram after the loss to Alabama. “Will forever remember this year and this team.”
