Two weeks ago, the 21-year-old daughter of Columbus Sports Anchor Dom Tiberi was tragically killed in a traffic accident as she was driving on I-270 near Cemetery Road.
Still reeling with grief, the 10TV anchor returned to the air last week, extending his appreciation to everyone who has supported him and his wife during such a difficult time.
He gave a special shout out to Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer and the entire “Buckeye nation.”
Then, while waiting to report on the Ohio State win against Wisconsin on Saturday evening, Tiberi was recognized in one of the most heartwarming ways imaginable.
Player after player paused to embrace Tiberi as they made their way to the locker room after the game. The team’s response is truly touching.

Pure Class
My respect for the Buckeyes just soared into the stratosphere. Classy, caring young men. And my personal sympathies to Dom Tiberi and his wife.
Sometimes it’s the little things in life that you do that mean the most to people.
Makes me want to cry my eyes out. Beautiful!
Big men with big hearts! Means a lot to all of Ohio! Thanks for having such grace and class players! Touched the heart of Ohio and no doubt the Tiberi family…..
This just brought tears to my eyes!!! Such class and empathy from a great group of young men!!
Not a Buckeyes Fax but I have to say that was one the most touching displays of affection and respect that I have seen in a long time. I was asked how can we lift the moral of our high school players and is is by the role models that we surround them by. Great Job….
Buckeye Nation supports The Tiberi’s during this difficult time. We love you!!
Wow. That was awesome.
