Happy Thanksgiving, Buckeye Nation! With today being the day to spend time with your loved ones and express all of the things that you are thankful for, Land-Grant Holy Land caught up with a handful of future Ohio State Buckeyes to allow them to share what they are most grateful for having in their lives:

Drue Chrisman, 2016 P, LaSalle (OH)

"First of all, being alive. Having a roof over my head. Living in a safe, beautiful place. The love of my friends and family. Being in touch with people all over the world. Having access to books and the internet and being able to learn more every day because of that. The endless opportunities available for us today. Human resilience. The talents God has blessed me with to get me where I'm at today."

Jonathon Cooper, 2016 DE, Gahanna Lincoln (OH)

"I am thankful for a lot of things. For my family, my mom, my friends, the ability to play football, for life in general -- just a lot."

Kierre Hawkins, 2016 WR/TE, Maple Heights (OH)

"I am thankful for having a great and supporting family. I'm also thankful for being a Buckeye."

Michael Jordan, 2016 OT, Plymouth (MI)
