What Connelly Says about Doss

“Maybe the perfect free safety. Doss started 40 games, earned All-America honors three times, combined eight INTs with six sacks, put out countless fires before they could start and earned defensive MVP honors in his final game: 2002’s BCS Championship win over Miami.”

What We Say

Doss was the heart and soul of the Ohio State team in 2002. He came back OSU to bring a national title home, and he’s one of the few players that can say he won a title at all levels he played. He was a hard-hitting playmaker.
