Vote: Who is your favorite player in Super Bowl LVIII who played high school or college football in Ohio?

The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will play in Super Bowl LVIII, with a number of players who played high school or college football in Ohio

The matchup for Super Bowl LVIII is now set, as the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will meet up on Sunday, Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Kansas City will be looking to win its second consecutive Lombardi Trophy and the third in five years, while San Francisco tries to avenge a loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV.

A look at the rosters for both teams shows a number of players who either played their high school or college football in the Buckeye State.

Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce not only played high school football at Cleveland Heights, but he stayed in the state for college as well, playing at the University of Cincinnati. 

Kansas City’s Bryan Cook (Mt. Healthy), Mike Edwards (Winton Woods), Darian Kinnard (St. Ignatius), Colton McKivitz (Belmont Union) and Joe Thuney (Archbishop Alter) along with San Francisco’s Kyle Juszczyk (Cloverleaf) all played high school football in Ohio.

Nick Bosa and Chase Young of San Francisco are not only teammates in high school, but also shared the same field together at Ohio State.

Now is your chance to vote on which player in Super Bowl LVIII who played either high school or college football in Ohio is your favorite.

Voting will end on Thursday, February 8 at 11:59 pm ET.
