The Big Daddy Award is named for "Big Daddy" Dan Wilkinson, whom many consider to be the best Buckeye defensive lineman of all time. This year's winner is another Buckeye great, namely defensive tackle Quinn Pitcock, who narrowly edged out fellow Big Ten star LaMarr Woodley. Congrats to Quinn for keeping bringing the hardware back to Columbus!
