Ohio State football’s top ten players of the decade

As we embark on a new decade of Ohio State football, here’s a look at the ten best Buckeye players from the last one.

No. 1 – Dwayne Haskins, quarterback (2016-2018)

Haskins was a one-year wonder, but what a year it was. He set the single-season Ohio State and Big Ten passing records for yardage and touchdowns in 2018. He picked up the offense extremely quickly after the program lost J.T. Barrett and made OSU a team that was as dangerous as any team in the country through the air.

He finished the season as the Big Ten’s Quarterback and Offensive Player of the Year, made the All Big-Ten First Team and went to New York as one of three Heisman Finalists. He was taken in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins. Simply put, he had the single most impressive year of any Ohio State player during the decade, and more.
