Welcome to the tenth installment of the "Greatest Buckeyes Ever" poll - this one allows you to vote for the best Buckeye defensive tackle. Every Saturday, we will post a poll on "Who's the Greatest Buckeye" at each of the positions. The last poll, head coach, will open on the day of THE GAME, and close on December 30th. By New Years Day, we will have the Buckeye Planet All-Time Buckeye Team.
All players selected for the poll will be from the "modern era", which we have more-or-less arbitrarily determined to have begun with the hiring of Woody Hayes in 1951. However, there will be a special poll for the older Buckeye stars, where you will be allowed to choose amongst such greats as Les Horvath, Vic Janowicz, Chic Harley, etc.
Please vote on each poll, if you can. Also, please note that each poll will allow you to vote at least twice, as we would like to compile a first and second team. If you vote for "other", please let us know your selection(s) by setting forth the name(s) in a post.
Polls will be posted as follows:
1. Quarterback (CLOSED - Rex Kern is the first team QB, with Craig Krenzel as the second team selection)
2. Tailback (CLOSED - no surprise: Archie is first team, Eddie is second)
3. Athlete (CLOSED - Paul Warfield and Chris Gamble are first team; Cie Grant and Brian Bashnagel are second)
4. Fullback (CLOSED - Pete Johnson made first team, Jim Otis lead second team)
5. Wide Receiver (OPEN - Cris Carter, David Boston, and Michael Jenkins lead, with Joey Galloway and Terry Glenn vying for fourth place)
6. Tight End (OPEN - John Frank and Rickey Dudley lead)
7. Offensive Tackle (OPEN - Orlando Pace, John Hicks, and Korey Stringer lead by a large margin)
8. Offensive Guard (OPEN - Jim Lachey and Jim Parker lead, with Rob Murphy also receiving plenty of votes)
9. Offensive Center (OPEN - LeCharles Bentley and Jeff Uhlenhake lead)
10. Defensive Tackle (OPEN)
11. Defensive End
12. Outside Linebacker
13. Middle Linebacker
14. Safety
15. Cornerback
16. Kicker
17. Punter
18. "Old Timer"
19. Head Coach
So, please vote now for your All-Time Greatest Buckeye Defensive Tackle; please make FOUR selections.
Note: Many of the players on the list were All-Americans: Jim Stillwagon (1969, 1970); Jim Marshall (1958); Pete Cusick (1974); Aaron Brown (1977); Dan Wilkinson (1993). All Big Ten selections include all of the above, plus Nick Buonamici (1975, 1976), Jerome Foster (1980, 1982), George Hasenohrl (1972), Darrion Scott (2002), and Tim Anderson (2003). Ryan Pickett did not receive any post-season honors, but was a first round draft choice of the St. Louis Rams.
