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.
