Chukwuemeka Nnamdi Onyejekwe, who goes by his rap name Mekka Don, was an Ohio State walk-on from 1999-01. He is relaying some harrowing news this week when he revealed former teammate Ivan Douglas is “fighting for his life” in a battle with COVID-19.
“One of my former teammates and Buckeye brother Ivan Douglas is fighting for his life right now,” he tweeted.
“He’s in the ICU in a medically induced coma right now from COVID. He’s a husband/father with two little children. We need him.”
Jonathan Wells, a running back at Ohio State during Douglas’ time in Columbus, has also posted about his status on Facebook.

Douglas played football at Ohio State in the early 2000s, but his career was cut short due to blood clots in 2003.
Prayers up for the big guy.
