Greg OdenMen's Basketball, 2006-07
One of the most recognizable figures both on and off the court, Greg Oden was one of the country's most dominant players during the 2006-07 season. He was named the National Defensive Player of the Year and helped lead the Buckeyes to a national championship game appearance. He had 25 points and 12 rebounds in the championship game vs. Florida.
A Second Team All-American, Oden averaged 15.7 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game in his lone season. In addition to being named the NABC Defensive Player of the Year, he was also the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and the Pete Newell Big Man Award winner. Behind Oden's dominance, the Buckeyes won the 2007 Big Ten regular season and Big Ten Tournament titles as well as a program-record 35 games.
After his one year, Oden went on to be the No. 1 overall selection by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2007 NBA Draft. He played parts of six seasons in the NBA before eventually returning to Ohio State in 2016 as a student manager. He spent three seasons as a manager and completed his sport industry degree in 2019. He also served as a graduate assistant for the program during the 2021-22 season.

- Men's basketball standout Greg Oden, who is earning his sport coaching master's degree, will be enshrined in the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame this fall. He was the National Defensive Player of the Year and helped lead the Buckeyes to a national championship game appearance in 2006-07, when he was also named a Second Team All-American, the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and the Pete Newell Big Man Award winner. He went on to be the No. 1 selection in the 2007 NBA Draft.
He was a great player and he is going to be a great coach. Very proud that this guy went to Ohio State.
