A three-star prospect and three-sport athlete from Glades Central High School in Belle Glade, Florida, Santonio Holmes arrived at Ohio State after leading the Raiders to a pair of state titles in football and track and a state runner-up finish in basketball.

  • National Champion (2002)

Holmes was redshirted during his freshman season, during which the Buckeyes won the Big Ten title and knocked off Miami in the BCS National Championship.
