Some very solid choices to pick from for best Buckeye ever to wear No. 14, but I’m going to go with one of the best quarterbacks to ever play at OSU… Bobby Hoying.
Hoying was a three-year starter and steadily improved every year. He was also part of one of the most prolific offenses in Ohio State history his senior year in 1995.
Maybe it was easy to be good when you had Orlando Pace blocking for you, Terry Glenn and Ricky Dudley to throw to, and Heisman Trophy winner, Eddie George in the backfield. But somebody has to get them the ball, and Bobby Hoying did just that.

Hoying would finish 10th in the Heisman voting behind George his senior season. When the final whistle blew on his career at Ohio State, he was only behind Art Schlichter in total passing yards. Not bad company to be in… at least on the gridiron.
