Tupa's senior bio Per The Ohio State Team Guide:

6-5, 216...from Brecksville, Ohio...After three years of being Ohio State's regular punter and a backup quarterback, Tupa is ready to take over as a starter...his ability to scramble adds a dimension to the Buckeye offense.

Has a strong, accurate arm...completed 30 of 49 passes for 398 yards and three touchdowns in 1986...a key player for the Buckeyes in 1987 because he is the only Buckeye quarterback with college experience.

The finest punter in Ohio State history, averaging 43.7 yards per punt over three seasons.

Quarterbacked Brecksville High to a state championship in 1983...average 20.8 points per game as a senior in basketball...elected a captain in 1987...a communications major.

Tupa in the NFL per Wikipedia:

Tupa was drafted in the third round (68th overall) of the 1988 NFL Draft by the Phoenix Cardinals. During his rookie year, he was used exclusively as a quarterback, playing in two games and completing 4-of-5 passes for 49 yards. His second season with the team saw an expanded role. He started two games at quarterback, while registering six punts for 46.7 yards per punt.

After spending the entire 1990 season as strictly a holder on kicks, he was the primary quarterback for the Cardinals the following year, playing in 11 games and throwing six touchdowns to 13 interceptions. He then joined the Indianapolis Colts in 1992, playing as a backup quarterback to Jack Trudeau and Jeff George.

That season also marked the last time Tupa was used regularly as a quarterback; since then he almost exclusively punted, with only emergency occasions or trick plays making use of his throwing skills. Tupa sat out the 1993 NFL season, having been cut by the Cleveland Browns right before the season. However, he was re-signed by the Browns the following year and stayed with them for two seasons as their starting punter.

He joined the New England Patriots in 1996 and played for them for three years. In 1999, Tupa signed with the New York Jets. It was during this season that Tupa received his first invitation to the Pro Bowl. He also made his first pass attempt since 1996, and went 6-of-11 for 165 yards and two touchdowns.

2002 saw Tupa sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he was their punter on their road to Super Bowl XXXVII, where they defeated the Oakland Raiders. Before the start of the 2004 NFL season, Tupa signed with the Washington Redskins. In 2004, he was named as a Pro Bowl second alternate. He spent 2005 on the injured reserve list, and did not appear in a game.

Tupa announced his retirement from pro-football in the spring of 2006. In February 2006, he was appointed as the recreation director of Brecksville, Ohio.

Tupa's life after football per espn.go.com (2012):

Tupa is the recreation director for the city of Brecksville, Ohio, where he led the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Bees football team to a state title in 1983. He is also the offensive coordinator for the Bees' varsity squad, where his sons Tommy and Tim play. His youngest son, Tyler, will be a freshman this year, and his daughter Emma will be a seventh-grader.

His son, Tommy Tupa, committed to Miami (Ohio) in May. The RedHawks expect him to be their future quarterback.

Plummer's senior bio per the Ohio State Team Guide:

6-0, 193...from Wyoming, Ohio...Ahmed Plummer, a thoughtful and spiritual young man who married his fiance, Tiffany Cherry, this June, is truly an exceptional representative of The Ohio State University. Plummer will be a legitimate candidate this season to win the Thorpe Award as the nation's outstanding defensive back.

"Ahmed is the best corner-back in the country," says secondary coach John Tenuta..."He recovers, He is a technician. He knows receivers. He comes to play. He is a guy who came in and dedicated himself to being the kind of player you want to be. Opponents won't throw the ball on him."

The Division IV Defensive Player of the Year as a senior at Wyoming High School...credited with 115 tackles as a senior, helping Wyoming to a 10-2 record and a spot in the state playoffs...set a school record for interceptions with 17, including seven as a senior...earned 12 varsity letters---four in football, three in basketball and baseball and two in track.

Plummer's night of awards and his senior season per ohiostatebuckeyes.com:

On a night at the Columbus Convention Center when the Ohio State Buckeyes were cheered by over 1,200 fans, senior cornerback Ahmed Plummer was named the 1999 Most Valuable Player and the Bo Rein Most Inspirational Player Award by a vote of his fellow teammates. Later in the evening, Plummer also was presented with the John Galbreath Award as the team's outstanding scholar-athlete, the Arnie Chonko Award as the team's outstanding defensive back and the Bill Willis Award as the Defensive Player of the Year.

Ohio State senior co-captain Ahmed Plummer is as good an example of the term great student-athlete as one will ever find. The 1999 Preseason All-American capped a senior season by being named first-team All-Big Ten Conference and then playing in the East-West Shrine Bowl all-star game. He was named a third-team All-American by the Football News and he was a semifinalist for the prestigious Thorpe Award.

Plummer finished the year leading all Buckeyes with five interceptions and nine pass break-ups, and he totaled 55 tackles. He also is the 24th Buckeye ever to earn Academic All-America honors. In October, Plummer became OSU's 18th recipient of the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame Postgraduate Scholarship.

Plummer was selected in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the Raiders.

*Wore No. 8 when drafted.
