As honorable mention, I’ll throw out punter and quarterback Tom Tupa. However, I have to single-out defensive back Ahmed Plummer as the best to wear No. 19 at Ohio State.
Plummer was the next great corner at OSU coming off the heals of Shawn Springs and Antione Winfield. However, Plummer didn’t get quite the recognition as the lone star in the secondary as 1999 was a down year for the Buckeyes going 6-6.

Regardless, Plummer was one of the greats at DB. He was a team captain, racked up 14 career interceptions and at the time of leaving the Buckeyes, Plummer had the most pass breakups for a career with 34.
A first-round draft pick in 2000, Plummer had a solid six-year career with the San Francisco 49ers.
