Mike Sensibaugh, Ohio State's All-Time Leader in Interceptions, Dies at 72
One of Ohio State's all-time great safeties has died.
Mike Sensibaugh, who still holds Ohio State's all-time record with 22 career interceptions, died Wednesday at 72 years old, Ohio State announced Monday.
A member of the “Super Sophs” class that led Ohio State to the 1968 national championship, Sensibaugh – who formed an elite pairing of safeties with Jack Tatum – had nine interceptions in 1969 (still tied for the school record with Craig Cassady) and eight interceptions in 1970. He earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in both of those seasons and first-team All-American honors in 1970.
His 22 career interceptions are the second-most of all players in Football Bowl Subdivision history.
