No. 72 Dan Wilkinson
Dan Wilkinson began his Buckeye career as a scout team offensive tackle, but ended it as a consensus All-American defensive lineman and became the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.

DT Dan Wilkinson
1991-93
b. March 13, 1973 (Dayton, OH)

Big Ten Champion (1993)
All-Big Ten (1992, 93)
Consensus All-American (1993)
No. 1 Overall Pick in NFL Draft (1994)
Wilkinson was redshirted and sent to the scout team his freshman season, where he transformed from a 350-pound offensive lineman into one of the most dominant defensive tackles in the country. He lost nearly 50 pounds over the course of a year and earned a starting spot on defense the following season.

His sophomore season – his first as a starter – Wilkinson racked up 46 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks, earning him All-Big Ten honors. The following season, Wilkinson continued his dominance, finishing the season with 44 tackles and 13 tackles for loss to help lead the Buckeyes to their first Big Ten title in seven seasons and earn himself consensus All-American honors.

Wilkinson did not return for his senior season, and was selected No. 1 overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1994 NFL Draft. He went on to play 13 seasons in the league, racking up 54.5 sacks throughout his career.



No. 71 Pete Cusick
DT Pete Cusick
1972-74
b. Oct. 27, 1952 (San Bernardino, CA)

Captain (1974)
All-American (1974)
All-Big Ten (1973, '74)
Ohio State All-Century Team (2000)
Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame (2012)
Pete Cusick started for three years at defensive tackle for Ohio State and served as a captain of the 1974 Rose Bowl championship team.

He earned All-American and All-Big Ten honors while helping lead Ohio State to three consecutive Big Ten championships and Rose Bowl appearances.

Ohio State went 29-4-1 when Cusick started, and the 1973 defense only surrendered 64 points throughout the season.

No number 70 will see the field this season, barring catastrophe.

Dennis Lick gets the nod here.

No. 70 OT Dave Foley
The top Buckeye to wear No. 70 was one of the most important players on one of the best teams in Ohio State football history.

1966-68
b. Oct. 28, 1947 (Cincinnati, Ohio)

First-Team All-American (1968)
First-Team All-Big Ten (1968)
National Champion (1968)
Academic All-American (1966, 1968)
Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame (1984)
A three-year starter for the Buckeyes at offensive tackle, Dave Foley was a captain and a unanimous All-American left tackle for Ohio State in 1968, when the Buckeyes won all 10 of their games – including a 50-14("We couldn't go for three") win over Michigan and a 27-16 win over USC in the Rose Bowl – and were crowned national champions.

Foley was selected by the New York Jets with the No. 26 overall pick in the 1969 NFL draft, and went on to play in the NFL for nine seasons (three with the Jets, six with the Buffalo Bills), earning a Pro Bowl bid in 1973. He was inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1984.

No. 69 Dick Mack
Richard “Dick” Mack was a two-sport star at Bucyrus who lettered in football and track. An all-state offensive guard and linebacker for the Redmen in 1970, he also earned all-conference honors after he set a school shot put record with a throw of 52 feet, 6 inches.

OG Dick Mack
1972-74
b. Dec. 21, 1953 (Bucyrus, OH)

All-Big Ten (1974)
The 5-foot-11, 217-pound Mack was a two-year starter at right guard for Woody Hayes. He blocked for running back Archie Griffin when he won the first of two Heisman trophies. The Buckeyes went 2-0-1 against Michigan and played in three Rose Bowls during Mack’s career. Mack served as a graduate assistant under Hayes while attending law school, then coached the tight ends and receivers at Cincinnati from 1978-80.

He is currently the senior vice president and trust director at PNC Wealth Management in Cleveland.

Mack’s brother Tom, meanwhile, was a first-round NFL Draft pick from Michigan in 1966. He was an 11-time all-pro with the Los Angeles Rams and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999. Their father, Ray, was a second baseball for the MLB’s Cleveland Indians from 1938-46.

There is no #69 for Wisconsin this season, and nobody of prominence has ever worn it.

LeCharles Bentley was a four-year letterman on the football team who won every major award possible as a collegian and then went on to a professional career that included two Pro Bowl selections before an injury ended his playing days.

 A Cleveland native and from St. Ignatius High School, Bentley was a three-year starter along the Buckeye offensive line and a consensus All-American as a senior in 2001.

 His senior campaign also included his winning the top two offensive lineman awards for a center: he was named the Big Ten Conference’s offensive lineman of the year and he was the first Buckeye to ever win the Rimington Award as the nation’s outstanding center. He was drafted in the second round of the 2002 NFL Draft by New Orleans and was named to the Pro Football Writers of America’s all-rookie team. He spent four seasons with the Saints and two more with the Cleveland Browns before retiring.

As a senior in 1997, Taylor started every game at left guard and set a (then) team record with 137 pancake blocks. A co-captain, he was one of the leaders on a team that won the national championship for the third time in four seasons. Taylor repeated as All-Big 12 and earned All-America honors as a guard. He was awarded the 1997 Outland Trophy,
