No. 2 – J.T. Barrett, quarterback
Barrett’s career had an interesting curve to it. He started the 2014 season as the third-string quarterback behind Braxton Miller, but won the backup role just prior to the season. Miller went down and all of a sudden he was thrust into the chaos. His toughness and leadership helped jump-start the national-title run in 2014 as he re-wrote the Ohio State and Big Ten passing records throughout his career.
He too won several accolades, taking home the Big Ten’s Quarterback of the year three times, and garnering All Big-Ten First-Team three times as well. He still holds countless program and conference career passing records.
