Since there are no Buckeyes of particular note who wore today's number in the countdown, I thought perhaps we could have fun with numbers and alliteration.

So here are 7 Buckeyes who wore the number 7 for the scarlet and grey. The first five of them have a last name that starts with the 7th letter of the alphabet.

One NFL scout called this the most talented team he has ever evaluated at Ohio State, with more depth than the 2021 national champion Georgia team that set a draft record with 15 players selected in 2022.

"Pound for pound, player for player," the scout said, "they have as many good players as any [college football] team that I can remember."
