I think Mark and Brock identified the clear front-runners here, but I’m breaking the tie and going with Mike Sensibaugh. While Michael Thomas has blown up in the NFL, his college career was just really good, not spectacular.
Meanwhile, Sensibaugh was an All-American in 1970 and made All-Big Ten in 1969 and 1970. Mark has already told the tale of his ability to pick off the opposing quarterback, but it’s important to also note that Sensibaugh is a member of the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame, and was included on the Ohio State All-Century Team that was announced in 2000.

There may not be as many highlights and big hits compared to Jack Tatum, but Sensibaugh is an all-time great at Ohio State and just as valuable during quite the run during those years.
