Who are Ohio State’s four greatest players of all-time at each position? We’re asking Eleven Warriors readers to help us decide.
After starting the Four Kings series last week with a look at Ohio State’s best quarterbacks ever, we switched sides of the ball this week to choose Ohio State’s four greatest linebackers, which proved to be no easy task.
Ohio State’s illustrious linebacker history includes three College Football Hall of Famers and more than a dozen first-team All-Americans, but only four of them could make the “Mount Rushmore” at the position. As it turned out, two of the three Ohio State linebackers already in the College Football Hall of Fame didn’t even make the top four, finishing fifth and sixth in a tight vote behind a quartet of superstars who patrolled the middle of Ohio State’s defense between the 1980s and the 2000s.
