Ohio State drops first trailer of season with LeBron James narrating

Ohio State football released its first trailer for the 2026 season and it's narrating by LeBron James over Metallica's 'Whom the Bell Tolls."

On Thursday, game week for the Ohio State football team, the creative team unveiled an electrifying trailer to kick off the 2026 season against Ball State. Titled "The Bell Tolls," the trailer is a far cry from previous incarnations, featuring a faster-paced version of Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls." The video's speed and intensity set it apart from past trailers, making it a unique and engaging viewing experience.

One standout feature of this trailer is the narrator: none other than LeBron James himself. The basketball superstar lends his voice to guide viewers through the trailer, starting with the opening notes of the Buckeye Battle Cry and continuing until the end. His recognizable voice adds a personal touch and a sense of excitement to the trailer, making it an engaging watch for fans and non-fans alike.

As the 2026 season approaches, this trailer serves as a tantalizing preview of what's to come. The Ohio State football team will host Ball State at 12:30 p.m. ET inside Ohio Stadium, which will boast new features to enhance the college football experience. Fans can catch the latest updates and coverage of Ohio State news, notes, and opinion on @BuckeyesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and their Facebook page.
