2022 JASON WITTEN COLLEGIATE MAN OF THE YEAR SEMIFINALISTS
Kamryn Babb, Ohio State (Sr., WR) – Kam Babb is a universally recognized team leader for the second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. A two-time captain, his impact has been felt off the field as this Fall he was awarded the Block “O” jersey, which goes annually to the player who best personifies the qualities of the Ohio State great Buckeye, and Pro Football and College Football Hall of Famer, Bill Willis: toughness, accountability and character. While Babb’s time on the field has been limited due to four knee surgeries, his impact off of it has been felt every day. His impact was felt most this past Saturday when he caught his first collegiate pass in Ohio State’s win over Indiana: an 8-yard touchdown pass. In addition to being a captain, a two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree and three-time OSU Scholar-Athlete, Babb had the honor last Fall of speaking at the investiture of Ohio State University President Kristina M. Johnson. He graduated last December with his degree in communications.
