His bio from the official site:
Note that the fact about only 2 Buckeyes have led the team in tackles for 3 seasons is out of date. A.J. Hawk became the third Buckeye to achieve that disctinction last season.

Steve Tovar
Linebacker 1989-92
Steve Tovar is another in the great line of Ohio State linebackers. A two-time All-America selection in 1991 and 1992, he has the distinction of being the first of 21 players recruited by John Cooper to earn All-America status at Ohio State. Tovar led Ohio State in tackles for three-consecutive seasons between 1990-92, one of only two Buckeyes ever to accomplish that feat (Marcus Marek, 1980-82, is the other). In his senior year, Tovar was elected team co-captain and earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honors (selected by the conference coaches) after recording 128 tackles. A three-time All-Big Ten selection, Tovar ranks fourth in school history with 414 total tackles and 239 solo tackles. The Elyria, Ohio native was a third round selection by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1993 NFL Draft.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kansas hired former NFL linebacker Steve Tovar as its linebackers coach on Wednesday.
