A Heisman Trophy winner and two-time consensus All-American, Cassady was one of the greatest to ever wear a Buckeye uniform.
Cassady played all sides of the ball for Ohio State, serving as both a runner and pass-catcher on offense, returning kicks on special teams and playing defensive back on defense – and never surrendered a completion in his entire college playing career.
