We all know thebrutusbuckeye 🌰 
But do you know who’s behind the mascot?

In this special episode of Doc’s Download, Melissa Shivers (aka “Doc”) gets real with graduating Buckeyes Kurt Steelman (kdsteelman627), Tyler Wisman (tyler_wisman), and Caleb Kies (carkies29), who’ve helped bring Brutus Buckeye to life.

We’re talking: 
what made them try out
what it’s actually like in the “Brutus head” (yes, literally)
the moments that hit different (hospitals, schools, big wins, tough days)
the inside jokes + signature moves only the inner circle knows 😏

It’s wholesome, hilarious, and lowkey emotional.
The Brutus lore is UNLOCKED. 🔓
