This Six-Year-Old’s Sticker Collection Puts The Entire Ohio State Football Program To Shame

It’s not often that athletes meet their idols.

But the Ohio State University football players got that chance after practice Wednesday when six-year-old Charlotte Wilson, whose sticker collection puts the school’s tradition of awarding helmet stickers for on-field merits to shame, paid a surprise visit to the team.

“Our football program is built on stickers. My players have to break a guy’s ankle just to get an ambulance sticker, and only then are they permitted to speak without raising their hands,” said head coach Ryan Day, adding that he particularly admired Wilson’s collection of emergency response vehicles, which she earned for knowing to dial 911 when one of her classmates suffered epileptic seizure. “I’ve never seen so many beautiful stickers in my entire life. The girl is a prodigy.”

Wilson has already accumulated 149 stickers for various feats such as washing her hands and knowing her home address. Day also named Wilson an honorary team captain in recognition of her unwavering commitment to hygiene, public safety, and academics.

“I’m honored to have the opportunity to meet someone who can show me all kinds of smiling clouds, happy fruits, and silly monkeys,” said defensive lineman Robert Davis, who earned his first waving dinosaur sticker after concussing an opponent last game. “I mean, she’s got seven dump trucks. How the fuck did she get seven dump trucks?”
