Ohio State Football All-Century Team

Ohio State Football All-Century Team

The Ohio State Football All-Century Team was chosen in early 2000 by the Touchdown Club of Columbus. It was selected to honor the greatest Ohio State Buckeyes football players of the 20th century. No effort was made to distinguish a first team or second team, the organization instead choosing only to select an 80-man roster and a five-man coaching staff.

Members selected to the team were honored at a banquet on February 19, 2000. Living members of the team elected all-century captains and an all-century Most Valuable Player. As captains they chose Archie Griffin and Rex Kern on offense, and Chris Spielman and Jack Tatum on defense. Archie Griffin was selected as MVP.

Notes regarding selections

  • Players lettering before 1960 could have been selected for either offensive or defensive positions. Selecting Jim Marshall as an offensive tackle was ironic, given that he played professionally for 20 years as a defensive lineman, primarily with the Minnesota Vikings.
  • Paul Warfield was a halfback for the Buckeyes in 1961 and 1962, and a tight end in 1963. He was selected here as a wide receiver, the position he played professionally with the Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins.
  • Les Horvath was a halfback in 1940, 1941 and 1942, and a quarteback in his Heisman-trophy winning season of 1944. He was selected here as a halfback.
