Greatest Buckeye Offensive Lineman

[LordJeffBuck]

Lots of great ones, but only three real choices here:

John Hicks: All American (1972, 1973); Lombardi Award (1973); Outland Trophy (1973)
Orland Pace: All American (1995, 1996); Lombardi Award (1995, 1996); Outland Trophy (1996)
Jim Parker: All American (1955, 1956); Outland Trophy (1956)

I'd like to say John Hicks because of the film I've seen and stories I've heard from old timers, but if they create a new statistic for your dominance...well that pretty much says it all.

I'm biased, but no Korey Stringer?

Yeah, he'd be #4 on the list ... But when Pace, Parker, and Hicks are one, two, and three, #4 won't be getting many votes.

Jim Tyrer.

John Hicks finishing 2nd in the Heisman voting in 1973 just defied the times. 2 Major awards to 3 for Orlando, who finished 4th in the Heisman vote. This is the toughest "vote" of all the categories. But, since John was such an influence in my years of being "introduced" to Buckeye football, I'll go with him.

Peace

O-Pace, 'nuff said. Dude was a SICKO.

Hicks

Stood out on a line that had 2 other All-Americans on it. Highest ever finish in Heisman voting for an OL (Ohio State had 3 in the top 6 that year including Griffin and Gradishar)

Orlando Pace.....But can we get them all back for the rest of the year?

 

[LitlBuck]

Too many of young Bucks never saw Hicks or he would have more votes.

 

[DaveyBoy]

I'd have Jim Lachey up there with Stringer or even above him

 

[Diego-Bucks]

Too many of young Bucks never saw Hicks or he would have more votes.

Or people just think Orlando Pace was better?

Only because they never saw Hicks or Jim Parker.
I myself can't decide between the 3

 

[Jaxbuck]

Impossible for me to choose one.
