One of Ohio State football’s top recruiting pitches is the path to the NFL goes through Columbus.
Some of the games biggest stars played in the Scarlet and Gray, but it’s not just about the top players. A good portion of it is getting the opportunity to play in “The League,” and there is plenty of data to back up the Buckeyes ability to get players to the next level. One of those points was highlighted on Sunday.
According to Spotrac, only one other school has more active NFL players than Ohio State’s sixty-six, Alabama. The Crimson Tide lead the list with seventy-seven, but the Buckeyes aren’t that far behind.

This list will clearly change over the coming season’s, but Ohio State should only be adding to it’s count following this year and beyond.
