The Indoor Football League is set to kick off on April 23, with an official kick off weekend for some teams moved to May 14 this year (delayed because of COVID-19). With all the indoor craziness getting ready to start up, it got us thinking about some former Ohio State football players that will be suiting up when all the fun begins. With the Arena Football League gone due to some unfortunate circumstances, the IFL is now the premium spring football league.
Buckeyes have a long history of making an impact in indoor football leagues including when the Columbus Destroyers existed and Chris Spielman, Joey Galloway, and Earle Bruce all had their hands in the franchise. The most successful Ohio State football players in indoor football history may be Joe Germaine, Bobby Olive, and of course the unforgettable Art Schlichter. Perhaps down the road, we here at Buckeyes Wire will break down the history of Buckeyes in the league, but today we focus on the Ohio State alums competing in 2021.
