After Jones led his team, the Buckeyes, to a national title in January, people couldn’t stop comparing him to a tank. So naturally one OSU staffer decided it was time to take Jones to the floor. Donning a throwback Buckeyes’ uniform, the staffer disguised himself as a mannequin in the university’s Woody Hayes Athletic Center and proceeded to scare players as they passed by. When it’s Jones’s turn for the big surprise, the quarterback does a stop, drop and roll over a chair at around the 2:12 mark. The mannequin-turned-human manages to take Jones down without laying a finger on him. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3974881/cardale-jones-prank/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3974881/cardale-jones-prank/"},"headline":"Watch Ohio State Pull an Epic Prank on Quarterback Cardale Jones","datePublished":"2015-07-28T17:01:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:22:41.537Z","description":"And other players","url":"https://time.com/3974881/cardale-jones-prank/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3974881/cardale-jones-prank/","name":"Watch Ohio State Pull an Epic Prank on Quarterback Cardale Jones"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Elements of A Viral Video","description":"5 Elements of A Viral Video","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/vgQtqA8c/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-22T13:42:30.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/vgQtqA8c.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3974881/cardale-jones-prank/","duration":"PT1M31S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3974881/cardale-jones-prank/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
