I like the mention of Scott and the '42 guys who enlisted and Bill Willis (who also volunteered but was 4F due to varicose veins), but I'll add the name of an even earlier Buckeye:
Gomer Jones, who was a leather-helmet-wearing center and linebacker for Francis Schmidt's first two teams in '34 and '35, and was named Team MVP both years. Those years included 34-0 and 38-0 pastings of TSUN, the first pair of shutouts in tOSU's first 4-year winning streak against TSUN.
Hopefullly that record 4-year winning streak gets broken in November.
