Rex Kern
Jack Tatum
Archie Griffin
Andy Katzenmoyer
Michael Doss
Bradley Roby
Braxton Miller
JT Barrett

Don't forget Orlando Pace

So is he in the mix for B1G OPY yet?

His biggest competition will be Gordon from Wiscy and Abdullah from corn. Gordon has been putting up insane numbers despite Wiscy's struggles.

He won't win it. No way they let an Ohio State player win it 3 consecutive years.

Guys, Max was listing players HE saw and instantly thought would be stars. You can't edit HIS list.

yes but we can call him out for being blind.

Your opinion is wrong.

JT2 just jumped to #4 in the NCAA passing efficiency. Conner Cook just fell to #10.

Deshaun Watson appears to be the real deal.

You saw that when he came in for Boeckman against USC? Granted we knew he was talented (no dispute there), but he got his ass kicked that game.

JT Barrett is on pace to produce the best year by a quarterback in Ohio State history.

Given what just happened in East Lansing and depending on what happens when we visit... he should have a very good chance of definitively passing up one of those guys.
That said, agree with Zurp -- the participation award aspect of B1G trophies won't allow it. Especially if Bosa stays on track to win DPOY, somebody like that Indiana RB have a better shot at it than anyone from Ohio State.

That wasn't the first time he played. And he didn't get his ass kicked against SC, either---he looked like a ridiculous athlete even going against that loaded SC defense. He was one of the few guys on the team that day who was capable of making a play against that team.

I'll go. One that stood out to me the first time I saw him was a gangly blonde quarterback in the Spring Game. His play wasn't very pretty, but it was effective. He basically willed his side to the win, and didn't hesitate to take off and get some tough, much needed yards, even if it meant getting crunched. That kid's name was Craig Krenzel.
