The King of Buckeyes fans is ready for the start of the Ohio State football season.

LeBron James narrated Ohio State's trailer for Saturday's home game against Ball State:

"Nothing is given, everything is earned," James says in the trailer as Ohio State players such as Jeremiah Smith appear in the graphics.

While the top-ranked Buckeyes figure to have no problem in a home game against Ball State, getting one of their most famous fans involved as the narrator of the trailer is quite the way to generate excitement.

James grew up in Ohio and has been very public in his support of the state's flagship college football team. He often attends games and was at the stadium for the team's national championship game victories to cap off the 2014 and 2024 campaigns.

He even previously gave a pregame speech and told the fans he would have attended Ohio State if he played college basketball before he led the team into Ohio Stadium.

It's safe to say James will have an eye on Saturday's opener, as he and the rest of Buckeye Nation hope for a straightforward win ahead of the highly anticipated Week 2 showdown with Texas that will have College Football Playoff implications.
