Its not only what Chris Speilman has done on the feild but also off the field to this day. Not only did this man have 29 tackles against of all teams M$chigan. That alone should make him a Buckeye elite, but its also how he has represented and made OSU proud of him and how he supported his wife in the most troubling times and now to this day he praises the Buckeyes to the fullest and shows his love for the game and for the Buckeyes on air each and every day. That is something !! Thats also not to deminish in any way these other great athletes who played and are great alumni too OSU.

dunno.. don't think we're being very fair to tOSU All-Time career tackling leader.. three years in a row leading team in tackles.. including 3 victories over scUM... Marcus Marek... an undersized overachiever...

Gradishar would get my vote. He was dominating. It was amazing that Rick Middleton was actually picked in the NFL draft 1 or 2 ahead of Randy.

I'm going with the 2 local boys;Gradishar and Marek. I can't believe anyone would put Kat ahead of Marek or Gradishar. I think alot of people either dont remember marek or forgot about him. ALL he ever did was make tackles !!
With all the great linebackers this school has has, to be the all time leading tackler, is pretty darn impressive.
Gradishar should be in the NFL Hall of Fame.

I voted Gradishar, Cousineau, Marek, Spielman, Katzenmoyer as well. What a great list! Hawk will deserve to be on the list when he is finished playing at OSU.

I went with Gradishar, Cousineau, Johnson, Marek and Spielman.
Glad we had five choices. I would of had a very difficult time choosing the top two or three.

572 total tackles, including 178 in 1982.
256 total unassisted career tackles, 316 assisted.
3 victories over scUM
First team All Big 10 in 1980, '81, '82
First team AA in 1982
Marcus Marek !!!! Screw Katz, this was the original tackling machine (after TC)
Give him some love !!!!! No way are there 6 better Buckeye LB's.
Watch OSU classics to see him in action.
