Ohio State great Tom Cousineau named to the College Football Hall of Fame

The 2016 College Football Hall of Fame class will have scarlet and gray representation.

Though the college football's selection process can be classified favorably as arbitrary at best, Buckeyes have a reason to be celebrating today.

On Friday, the College Football Hall of Fame, now based in Atlanta, GA, announced that Buckeye great Tom Cousineau was named a 2016 hall of fame inductee. Cousineau played under Woody Hayes from 1975 to 1978 and was a consensus first-team All-American.

The linebacker finished his OSU career with an Ohio State record 572 tackles over 47 games. That total still ranks second on the school’s all-time charts.
