It’s not a bad thumbs-up to have in Ohio ahead of Tuesday’s primary.
Ohio State University football coach Urban Meyer endorsed Gov. John Kasich for president today.
“Go win this darn thing,” Meyer told the Republican in a video posted by Kasich’s campaign.
The nearly 2-minute video features a conversation between Kasich and the national championship football coach.
Meyer tells Kasich he “did some research about all the great work, the great leadership you’ve shown for our great state. We’re very proud of you and Karen (Kasich’s wife) and your family and look forward to this.”
The men then talk about “raising the bar” in both politics and football, with Kasich invoking the name of legendary OSU coach Woody Hayes. “I don’t want to let people down and I’m sure you feel the same way,” Meyer says.
Calling Kasich a friend, Meyer says that he is a “true supporter of what you stand for.
“Now that I know what you really stand for, we’d like to tell you we wish you guys the best,” Meyer concludes as he exchanges a handshake with the governor.
Former Buckeyes head coach Jim Tressel, another national championship winner, will appear with Kasich at a town hall early Sunday evening in Hanoverton in northeastern Ohio. Tressel now is president of Youngstown State University and has worked with Kasich on higher-education issues.
Polls show Kasich and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump locked in a potentially tight race in Ohio’s winner-take-all primary on Tuesday.
