RB Keith Byars (B10 POY, All-American, OSU HOF, CFB HOF, NFL Pro Bowl)



LeBeau was one of two Ohio State legends honored with the Ohio’s Finest award on Thursday night along with former Buckeye running back Keith Byars, who received the award after being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in December. Like LeBeau, Byars also expressed gratitude for the opportunity he had to be a Buckeye and for growing up in Ohio as a Dayton native, which he believed played a key role in his gridiron success.

“Ohio has the best coaches anywhere,” Byars said while speaking to the coaches attending the clinic. “I lived in Florida for 25 years. Being in Florida, great talent. Best high school talent is Ohio, Florida, Texas and California. And what Ohio State has over a whole lot of other states is you guys in the room. Not just high school coaches, but the middle school and the peewee coaches in Ohio, that makes a difference.”

Just sayin': He should have won the Heisman his Junior year.
