It’s the doldrums of almost summer and you are most likely stuck between queueing up last year’s Rose Bowl victory over Utah on the DVR for the umpteenth time, reading rankings and listicles that include Ohio State, and yearning for the start of the college football season.
Sounds like a perfect time to kick off a series we are embarking upon here at Buckeyes Wire. We call it the “face of the position” and it’s really exactly as it sounds. When you think of a position group at Ohio State, who do you think of? From quarterback to linebacker, to placekicker and beyond, OSU has some of the most iconic and historical college football players that have taken their place among the best in the game.
However, one player stands out above all else when you shroud them behind the colors of scarlet and gray, and that’s where we are going to ask for your assistance.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be highlighting players that are in the running for the face of a position at Ohio State and asking for your vote in a Twitter poll to have one player identified as the one you think immediately at that position.
First up is quarterback. It’s a position that has become perhaps the face of the program over the last few years, so you’ll see a pretty recent slate of names nominated on this one. Take a look at the four we’ve highlighted and then move on to vote in our Twitter poll at the end. We can only fit four players on the poll, so feel free to write in a candidate in the comments to vote for another player, and we’ll tabulate it accordingly.
We’ll keep voting up for five days, and at the end of it, we’ll have an article revealing who the face of the quarterback position is historically at Ohio State.
