One of the best defensive backs ever to play in Columbus, Antoine Winfield was a two-and-a-half year starter for the Buckeyes, and earned numerous accolades.
After stepping into a full-time starting role at the beginning of his junior season, Winfield led Ohio State with exactly 100 solo tackles, and set a career high with 13 tackles in a win over Missouri.
