Last but not least, our beloved President, Amari Thompson.

Amari is the heartbeat of our team and has been integral in the development of our club. As President of the club for the last 2 years and vice president prior, Amari has led by example on and off the pitch, managing everything behind the scenes and being an unstoppable force in-game. Every opportunity our players have had within the club wouldn’t have been possible without Amari’s leadership and devotion to the sport.

After nearly a decade of being around the game, Amari has played almost every position but has excelled as a flanker on the field. She’s racked up the accolades being selected as a team captain in 2024 and selected as ’s student leader of the month in March 2024.

From Cleveland Ohio, graduating with a degree in Political Science and minor in psychology, Amari will be moving to Columbus to be an Administrative Specialist at the Ohio University (Dublin Campus) heritage college of osteopathic medicine.

Amari, thank you for everything you’ve done for this club. You’ve forged the way for so many players to experience the sport and we couldn’t be more grateful. We wish you the best of luck after graduation and are so proud of you.

Dis emma perry aka coach perry!

Coach Perry brought her great insight to Ohio 4 years ago.

Emma is a thoughtful and conscientious leader. Her dedication and commitment to the team throughout her four year tenure are palpable and if I say so myself… inspiring.

Emma knows exactly how to hype up the team after great games, bad games, and everything in between. Her love for the sport is absolutely contagious!

From Pittsburgh PA, Emma is graduating with a degree in Media Arts Production and minors in Film, Marketing and social media.

Thank you for everything, Emma! You are going to do great things, make wonderful art, and continue to inspire people for the rest of your life!

(this was written by her roommates circa 9:35 PM the night before graduation).

Day 10/14

We’re spotlighting FERAL CAROL (Caroline Merritt) our resident goofball. Carol is a four year veteran of the team and has been passed around the forward pack but excels at lock.

Carol brings an infectiously goofy energy and personality to the team. She lights up any room she walks into and is so easy to gravitate towards. Shes got a big heart and makes sure nobody feels alone.

From Canton Ohio, Carol is graduating with a degree in Marketing and minor in communications.

We will miss you greatly Carol, thank you for your commitment and all the heart you’ve infused within this team! (We’ll put a real grad photo in here eventually)

Day 9/14

We’re spotlighting Olivia Ohms, our killer ginger. Ohms is a 3 year staple of the program, beginning as a heat seeking missile, (flanker) and ending as a physical winger.

Though Ohms is a legacy rugger (her dad played for and her mom too!), she’s created her own legacy on this team, setting an example as to what relentless physicality and focus can translate to on the pitch.

Ohms is graduating with a degree in Bio Sciences (Pre-Professional) and a minor in psychology. We hope that she’ll be our doctor one day.

Thank you for everything you’ve given to this team Olivia! We wish you the best of luck after graduation and are so proud of you!

Day 8/14

We’re spotlighting Tree Wendell, a creative force who made his mark in just one year with the program.

Tree brings great energy, and commitment to the team, making an impact both on and off the pitch from the moment he arrived.

Off the field, he’s been honing his craft in Media Production and film photography, after graduation, he’s headed to Los Angeles to take part in the Ohio in LA program, an exciting next step in his journey.

Tree is graduating with a degree in Media Arts Production.

Tree, your time with us may have been short, but your presence didn’t go unnoticed. We’re proud of you and can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes you. Keep creating and chasing it out west.
