27 — Eddie George, RB, Ohio State (1992-95)
As a senior George rushed for a school-record 1,927 yards and 24 touchdowns, including 314 yards and three touchdowns against Illinois. He won the Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award in 1995. — Runner-up: Joe Belino, HB, Navy (1958-60)
31 — Vic Janowicz, HB, Ohio State (1949-51)
A threat from anywhere on the field — he was a place-kicker, punter, played safety on defense and was an outstanding blocker — Janowicz became the third junior to win the Heisman in 1950. Many consider him the greatest athlete in Buckeye history. — Runner-up: Shane Conlan, LB, Penn State (1982-86)
40 — Howard Cassady, RB/DB, Ohio State (1952-55)
''Hopalong'' scored 37 touchdowns in 36 games and won the Heisman as a senior in 1955, the same year he was chosen Athlete of the Year by the Associated Press. The nickname came after his first game at Ohio State, when sportswriters who saw him play said he ''hopped all over the field like the performing cowboy,'' a reference to Hopalong Cassady. — Runner-up: Elroy Hirsch, RB, Wisconsin (1942)
45 — Archie Griffin, RB, Ohio State (1972-75)
Where to begin: He's the only player to win the Heisman Trophy twice and start in a Rose Bowl four times. Griffin was a three-time All-America and set an NCAA rushing record with 31 consecutive 100-yard rushing games. He left school with 5,177 rushing yards, the most at the time. — Runner-up: Sammy Baugh, TCU (1934-36)
46 — Bob Ferguson, FB, Ohio State (1959-61)
A two-time All-America and Heisman runner-up in 1961, Ferguson lined up alongside Paul Warfield and Matt Snell. He rushed for 2,162 yards and averaged more than five yards a carry. — Runner-up: Harry Newman, QB, Michigan (1930-32)
53 — Randy Gradishar, LB, Ohio State (1971-73)
An All-America linebacker in 1972 and 1973, Gradishar led the Buckeyes to two Rose Bowls. — Runner-up: Clay Shiver, C, FSU (1992-95)
62 — Jim Parker, G, Ohio State (1954-1956)
Parker started the great run of Outland winners at Ohio State when he nabbed the honor in 1956. He helped lead the way to an undefeated season and national championship in 1954. — Runner-up: Charley Trippi, HB, Georgia (1942, 45-46)
74 — John Hicks, T, Ohio State (1970, '72-73)
Yet another great Buckeye tackle, Hicks won the Outland and Lombardi Awards in 1973, and finished second in the Heisman voting. — Runner-up: Tracy Rocker, DT, Auburn (1985-88)
75 — Orlando Pace, T, Ohio State (1994-96)
Pace's massive size, speed, strength and agility made him the ultimate lineman. He won the Lombardi Award in 1995 and '96 and the Outland in 1996. He finished fourth in the 1996 Heisman balloting, the best finish for a lineman since OSU's John Hicks was second in 1973. — Runner-up: Joe Greene, DE, North Texas State (1966-68)
