Former Ohio State linebacker, Randy Gradishar, has been named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2024. Gradishar, who played all of his ten-year career with the Denver Broncos, was announced as one of three senior finalist on Wednesday.
Out of Champion, Ohio, Gradishar played for Ohio State from 1971 to 1973 under Woody Hayes, who at one time called him the “greatest linebacker I’ve ever coached.” During his time with the Buckeyes, Gradishar was named an All-American twice and finished sixth in the Heisman voting in 1973. He is a member of the Ohio State and College Football Hall of Fame.
