When you really think about it, the No. 75 should probably have been retired by the Ohio State program. However, it’s not, and that’s good news for freshman offensive tackle Carson Hinzman. According to a Twitter graphic, the freshman from Hammond, Wisconsin shared, he’s decided to wear the coveted No. 75 at least to start his career in Columbus.
So what’s the big deal about No. 75? Well, arguably the best offensive lineman in Buckeye history donned No. 75, the one — the only — Orlando Pace. Not only did Pace have a decorated career in college, he followed it up as a Hall of Famer in the NFL’s class of 2016.
