“We strongly believe our sons want to play the upcoming season and have full trust the university and coaching staff along with medical experts have found a safe way for that to occur,” the letter said.

Ohio State defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs and director of player personnel, Mark Pantoni, also Tweeted their support for the parents' letter.
