BP Recruiting Team
Three years ago, we did a series of polls in which the BP community selected the "Greatest Buckeye Ever" team. Since then, many more great players have passed through the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, so it's probably a good time to revisit the polls.

Every week, we will post a poll on "Who's the Greatest Buckeye" at each of the positions. The first poll, quarterback, will open today, and run for a month.

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
2. Multi-purpose player
3. Tailback
4. Fullback
5. Wide Receiver
6. Tight End
7. Offensive Tackle
8. Offensive Guard
9. Offensive Center
10. Defensive Tackle
11. Defensive End
12. Linebacker
13. Safety
14. Cornerback
15. Kicker
16. Punter
17. "Old Timer"
18. Head Coach

So, please vote now for your All-Time Greatest Buckeye Safety; please make THREE selections.

Thanks for your participation.

Already one voter failed to include Jack Tatum. I don't get it.

Tatum didn't play safety that much that I remember. I seem to recall him lining up more often as an outside linebacker or at corner. Maybe rover back would be a better description. Anyway, he hit like a ton of bricks.

I thought this would be a no-brainer with Bell, Fox, and Tatum. I think we might have too many young pups:) in here who don't remember these guys. Props to Doss and Donte but Bell and Fox were very very good.

Tatum, Doss, Sensibaugh... doesn't he still have the interception record with 22?


Yep, and that's 5 more than anybody else. The info is in the 'single season and career marks' thread.

I went with Tatum as the clear #1 no brainer

Bell for his NFL career and Doss for his 3xAA/captain of a NC team work in college.

Tough to leave elder Fox and Sensibaugh off though.
