Two-time All-American offensive lineman John Hicks passed away overnight because of complications from diabetes, according to his family, resulting in an outpouring of support and tributes from the Ohio State community on Sunday. He was 65.
Hicks is among the most celebrated offensive tackles in college football history. He was the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Trophy winner in 1973 and finished No. 2 in the Heisman balloting. The College Football Hall of Famer was picked in the 1974 NFL Draft, but injuries prevented him from replicating that success at the next level.
