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.
On This Date In Ohio State History – Nov. 2, 1985 – Chris Spielman recorded a game-high 19 tackles and two interceptions to help No. 8 Ohio State knock off No. 1 Iowa, 22-13.

We’ll index them all and ask that you get into all the fun and even allow you to write in a candidate if you don’t like the players nominated. But first things first, remember to check back often as we get this thing rolling. For now, we’re just announcing what’s going on to get you ready to vote.
Start thinking about it now, and get ready to get it all started on June 1 with the quarterback position. I mean, let’s start with a bang, right?
