With three of the last eight Big Ten Freshman of the Year awards residing in Columbus, it's always worth a look to see which newcomers might be next in line to bring home the hardware.
Braxton Miller (2011), J.T. Barrett (2014) and Mike Weber (2016) turned the trick most recently and the Buckeyes actually own nine of the last 32 conference freshman sensation awards dotted by names like Terrelle Pryor (2008), Maurice Clarett (2002), Andy Katzenmoyer (1996), Orlando Pace (1994), Korey Stringer (1992) and Robert Smith (1990).
This decade's three winners featured one true freshman and two redshirt freshman.
