Who are Ohio State’s four greatest players of all-time at each position? We asked Eleven Warriors readers to help us decide.
We saved the best position for last. In the final installment of our 11-part series, we highlight Ohio State’s Four Kings at running back – a position that has spawned five Heisman Trophy winners along with a multitude of other Buckeye stars dating back more than a hundred years.
Among the many legitimate choices to make Ohio State’s “Mount Rushmore” of running backs – which was open both to those who played the modern halfback/tailback position and those who played fullback in eras where that position was more prominent – the four ballcarriers who our voters identified as the Buckeyes’ best of all-time were two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin, fellow Heisman recipients Eddie George and Howard “Hopalong” Cassady and the star of Ohio State’s most recent national championship run, Ezekiel Elliott.
