As Mark and Brock point out, this is a tough one. There’s no consensus All-American, First-Team All-Big Ten, Heisman finalist, or NFL stud to pick out of this group of players that wore the No. 8 at Ohio State.
I wanted to make a case for two quarterbacks under John Cooper — Stanley Jackson and Steve Bellasari — but they both were too inconsistent. They were both captains, but neither did enough, long enough for me to put in the top spot.

So, I have to agree that the answer here is Devier Posey. He was Ohio State’s top receiver in 2009 and 2010 and had big-play ability, scoring 15 touchdowns during that time.
He was the biggest field stretcher during that time and carved out a nice, solid career in Columbus.
