COLUMBUS, Ohio -- LeCharles Bentley took the field at Ohio Stadium on Saturday to be honored by football fans, one of the eight new members of Ohio State's Athletics Hall of Fame class.
The class each year always includes a major football name along with a collection of accomplished Olympic sport athletes. Basketball star Mike Conley Jr. was also among this year's group.
Bentley, the former star from St. Ignatius, is one to be particularly appreciated as an inductee. He's a Buckeye legend who made the game work for him, with a successful and fulfilled professional and personal life now that was started when his football career ended in a way he didn't want it to.
