No. 48 Vince Skillings
Our pick for the best player in Ohio State history to wear No. 48 is three-time first team All-Big Ten selection, Vince Skillings.
- First Team All-Big Ten (1978-80)
- Big Ten Champion (1979)
Skillings played his first two years under Woody Hayes, starting the 1978 season, which ended up being Hayes' last. During that season, he was named a first team All-Big Ten selection as Ohio State's starting safety.
