One Ohio State fan loves Ezekiel Elliott so much that he decided to name his newborn after him.

Over the course of the past two years, running back Ezekiel Elliott has been the unquestioned best player for the Ohio State Buckeyes, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Last season he really was the key ingredient in leading the Buckeyes to the national title, and he was dominant once again this season. People were mentioning him in the same breath as the likes of Eddie George and Archie Griffin, which pretty much makes him a legend in the making.

You know, like the type of legend that folks my name their kids after some day down the road.

Yeah, well, there is no down the road with Elliott.

This Ohio State fan is so appreciative of what Elliott has brought to the Buckeyes the past two seasons that he decided to name his newborn son after the star tailback.

Pretty safe to say that not only is this brand-new parent a fan of the Buckeyes, but he thinks pretty highly of Zeke as well.

So now, everyone can start keeping count of how many babies are named after the bruising speedster.
