Andy Katzenmoyer
Ohio State -- 1996

The first freshman to ever start at linebacker for Ohio State, the Big Kat busted onto the scene, starting all 12 games and set new school records for tackles for loss (23) and sacks (12) by a linebacker in earning second-team All-America honors. He was the first Buckeye to wear No. 45 since Archie Griffin in 1975.

Ohio State -- 2002

Clarett's one and only season in college culminated in two touchdowns, including the game winner in the national championship game. He missed three games and parts of two others because of injuries, but still managed to set Ohio State freshman records with 1,237 rushing yards and scored 16 touchdowns.
