Lancaster Legends Rex Kern, Bobby Carpenter and Jim Cordle Made Their Mark at Ohio State

Buckeye Pipelines puts the spotlight each week on a high school program who has had numerous and notable alumni go on to play for the Scarlet and Gray.

This week, we take a look at a school that has produced nine Ohio State football players: Lancaster High School.

The first of the Gales' nine Buckeyes was the legendary Rex Kern, who led Woody Hayes' 1968 national title. Ohio State has had five players from Lancaster in the past 20 years, including Bobby Carpenter and Jim Cordle.

The total number of Golden Gales to make an Ohio State roster will increase to 10 this year with the addition of walk-on offensive lineman Quinton Burke to the 2022 roster.
