Ezekiel Elliott takes pass at Taylor Swift on Twitter
It looks like Social Media Smoothness 101 with Professor Cardale Jones is beginning to find some enrollees on the Ohio State campus.
After a magical summer that the Buckeyes quarterback spent enchantingly knocking on the Twitter door of MMA megastar Ronda Rousey, now teammate Ezekiel Elliott is following in his footsteps with pop sensation Taylor Swift.
On Thursday, Elliott sent the following tweets to Swift, asking the seven-time Grammy winner to dinner after her show in Columbus, Ohio.
@taylorswift13 I see your in town tonight want to grab something to eat after their concert ? ?

The Archie Griffin Award-winning running back even tried to enlist the help of Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer in his efforts to secure a date with Swift.
@OSUCoachMeyer should invite @taylorswift13 to team dinner at the golf course tomorrow night. There's always a seat open next to me.

However, as Jones learned after ultimately failing to secure a rendezvous with Rousey, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Elliott as he was swiftly (heh, heh) CB’d by his own mascot, Brutus Buckeye.

Swift has yet to respond to any of the inquiries but nevertheless, it’s a valiant effort by the 20-year-old Elliott. While he might not have a banner to present to her, maybe his 2014-2015 championship ring will do the trick.
Ezekiel Elliott: making big runs both on and off the gridiron.
