Former Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes is an icon, not only in the illustrious history of Ohio State football but in all of college football. Much like the names of Bear Bryant, Knute Rockne, and Tom Osborne, Hayes stands as one of the giants of the game.
On Saturday, we were given the sad news that Steve Hayes, the only son of Woody and Anne Hayes, passed away at the age of 76. Steve Hayes served as a Municipal Court Judge in Franklin County, Ohio, for 25 years and was always a supporter of The Ohio State University.
He was a graduate of Ohio State and established The Anne Hayes Memorial Scholorship for Academic Excellence in the College of Social Work to honor his late mother.
