Buckeye Pipelines puts the spotlight each week on a high school program who has had numerous and notable alumni go on to play for the Scarlet and Gray.
This week, we take a look at a school that has produced 17 Ohio State football players since 1970: Middletown.
The Middies have had at least one alum on the Buckeyes’ roster in every decade between the 1970s and 2010s, headlined by Cris Carter, who went on to become an all-time great at Ohio State and in the NFL.
Middletown has hit some rough times on the football field in recent years, but it’s only been seven years since a former Middie played for the Buckeyes, as Jalin Marshall was the most recent Middletown product to wear the scarlet and gray.
