Though brief, St. Clair’s one-word response captured the grandeur and historical weight of the moment.

RJ Day, a Class of 2027 quarterback from St. Francis DeSales in Columbus, continues to impress on the high school circuit. The son of Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, RJ has already set the all-time passing yardage record at his school, according to MaxPreps, with 1,425 passing yards this past season.

Day, who plays both quarterback and linebacker, is seeing early recruitment interest, with an offer from Boston College and visits to Clemson and South Carolina under his belt.

His football pedigree runs deep—his father played both quarterback and linebacker at New Hampshire. RJ’s development is promising, and he still has multiple seasons to elevate his game before college.

Meanwhile, the Ohio State Buckeyes marked their College Football Playoff triumph with a visit to the White House. After a crushing regular-season loss to Michigan, the Buckeyes bounced back with wins over Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame, claiming the first-ever 12-team playoff championship.

"To be here surrounded by our players, staff, [and] university leadership is a moment we'll never forget," Ryan Day said on Monday. "Traveling to D.C. was the easy part. Earning the right to be here was the hard one."
