ESPN ranked the 150 greatest college football players of all time and released the names of those between 26-150. Six former Ohio State football players were on the list. Three played for legendary head coach Woody Hayes and three others afterward.
Let’s first look at Woody’s players beginning with a Heisman Trophy winner.
No. 47 Howard “Hopalong” Cassady: He was a do everything player and one of the best in his era. He was an outstanding defensive player who put up big numbers on offense.
Cassidy rushed for 2,274 yards (5.7 yards per carry) and scored 30 touchdowns during his Ohio State career.
