WATCH: Drue Chrisman goes for Guiness World record in bottle flipping

Ohio State punter Drue Chrisman has been trying to officially submit a bottle-flipping record to the folks at Guinness World Records. Watch.

By now you know Ohio State punter Drue Chrisman is pretty good at more than just flipping the field in a football game with his soaring punts. He’s good at proposing, but the other love he’s mastered is the art of bottle-flipping.

You don’t have to search very hard to find video of Chrisman flipping, kicking, and twirling partially filled water bottles. In fact, for starters, all you have to do is visit his Twitter profile and scroll to the first couple of shared content. And even now, a quick scroll will quickly show you the OSU punter’s attempt at a Guinness World Record in bottle-flipping. The premise is simple; flip a water bottle as many times as you can and have it land correctly in :30 seconds.

Chrisman first submitted his attempt to the folks at Guinness straight through Twitter on Saturday and it was impressive. He didn’t miss one flip –sending a Dasani water bottle on end 21 one times in the time allotted. It was acknowledged by the folks at Guinness, but it was unclear whether it is official or not.

But wait — Chrisman wasn’t done. Apparently receiving feedback that others were challenging, or surpassing his results, Chrisman shared another video. And this time he landed 25 bottle flips in :30 seconds.

We’re still waiting to hear what this counts as officially, but unofficially, it’s mesmerizing. If Chrisman works this hard at practicing his punting, Ohio State opponents might very well “flip” out in 2020.

Ohio State punter Drue Chrisman sets bottle-flipping record, raises money for Australian bush fires

Ohio State punter Drue Chrisman set a bottle-flipping record and raised money to battle Australian bush fires at the same time.

He can flip the playing field in a football game, and we’ll go out on a limb and say there’s not a better bottle-flipping punter in the country. Yeah, we know, it’s a pretty strong limb that’s not likely to be proven wrong.

Truth be known, Chrisman’s bottle-flipping skills are well-chronicled. He’s shared and produced many fun videos of his fast-twitch talent of flipping all sorts of bottles in all sorts of scenarios. We have no idea how many takes some of those were done with, but they are still impressive.

He has now decided to use that talent to help others. Chrisman spent 24 hours live-streaming his attempt at a new world-record in bottle-flipping, all while collecting donations to support World Wildlife Fund’s Australia bushfire relief efforts.

The details are sketchy on how many bottle-flips were counted, but it appears to be by far a world record. And, in even better news, his Chrisman’s efforts resulted in over $14,000 in donations to support a great cause.

Well done Drue. Thanks for being a great human being and ambassador for The Ohio State University. One has to wonder if he’s still asleep? What we do know is that Chrisman wouldn’t have to look far for a drink to wash down any approved sleeping agents.

Ohio State punter Drue Chrisman to return for senior season (wink, wink)

Ohio State punter Drue Chrisman shared a hilarious graphic and note that announces his decision to return for his senior season.

It’s that time of year. No, Christmas is over and New Year’s has now passed us by. Instead, it’s that time when we start getting news on early departures and NFL draft declarations. We’ve already heard from guys like Jeff Okudah and J.K. Dobbins, and now at long last we know what bottle-flipping extraordinaire Drue Chrisman will be doing.

You may know him as Ohio State’s punter, but many others know him as a master water-bottle manipulator or proposing ninja of sorts.

And he’s coming back for one more run at punting glory. Chrisman, in tongue-and-cheek fashion, shared a graphic to his Twitter page today announcing his decision to not declare for the 2020 NFL Draft, but rather to remain a student-athlete for just one more season and get his degree.

Oh, but he didn’t use an image of him booming a punt either, but one of him throwing a pass in the Wisconsin game when Ryan Day went ultra-aggressive and faked a punt deep in his own territory.

You can have a look at it yourself and get a wry smile out of it.

All jokes aside, Chrisman is one heck of a weapon for Ohio State and having him to flip the field in 2020 is going to be a great bonus.

Well done Drue, well done.
