RB Tom Campana (official thread)

[CFL_Riderfan]

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for this, so if it gets moved that's alright too. Sorry!

Hello everybody! I'm a new member here and am really enjoying the site. I am a Canadian who is not very informed on NCAA football outside of video games and the odd bowl game we get up here. If it's any consolation, I only play NCAA football and not Madden, and my favourite team I've used since 06 is the Buckeyes!

Ok I'm creating this thread because I need some help. My uncle works at Ohio State. He is coming up here to visit and I asked him to bring me a football jersey. He wanted to know which name and number I would like put on the back. Since I am a Rider fan, I have picked Tom Campana. Tom was recently inducted into the Rider Plaza of Honour along with another former Ohio State Ted Provost. Here's the problem, I can't find which number Campana wore while he was a Buckeye. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
