Jerry Lucas will be immortalized outside Value City Arena this fall.
According to The Columbus Dispatch’s Adam Jardy, Ohio State will unveil a statue commemorating Lucas at 4 p.m. on Nov. 14. While Lucas’ No. 11 jersey hangs in the Value City Arena rafters along with John Havlicek (No. 5), Evan Turner (No. 21), Jim Jackson (No. 22) and Gary Bradds (No. 35), the Middletown, Ohio, native will be the first Ohio State men’s basketball player to receive a bronze sculpture on campus.
"I am so very, very, humbled and honored for that happening," Lucas told Jardy.
