We are now a week away from Ohio State's 2018 season opener against Oregon State. Only seven more days until the we get to sit in front of the electric glow of our televisions and watch the pixellated forms of our beloved Buckeyes. Since 1933, 27 players have worn No. 7 for Ohio State.
From what you will read below, I think you will agree that No. 7 can arguably be considered the best jersey number for Ohio State. Especially the quality of players who have worn the number in the last 30 years.
Today's featured players are Cornelius Green, Sonny Gordon, Vinnie Clark, Joey Galloway, Joe Germaine, Chris Gamble and Ted Ginn Jr.

Green's senior bio per The Ohio State Team Guide:
6-0, 172...from Washington D.C....one of the top quarterbacks in college football...rand for 842 yards and passed for 939 last year...accounted for 18 touchdowns, nine by rushing and nine by passing...started each game in 1973 and '74.
Unusually quick and nimble...a breakaway threat anytime he has the ball...raced 57 yards to score against Minnesota...the top percentage passer in the Big Ten last year...completed 58 of 97 aerials in 1974.
Was called "Flam" by his teammates at Dunbar High...won nine high school letters, thee each in football, basketball and baseball...hobby is collecting records...from a family of seven.
Is his name Cornelius Greene or Cornelius Green?
From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in 1976:
It’s official that the Seahawks’ other new receiver, Cornelius Green now spells his last name without a final e.
He explalined, “I have researched and found that some of my relatives spelled it ‘Greene’ and others ‘Green’ and the latter is correct.” He is Cornelius Green.
Green's Ohio State career per ohiostatebuckeyes.com:
Cornelius Greene was the Big Ten MVP in 1975. During his three years as starting quarterback, he led the team to a 31-3-1 record. He was a member of four Big Ten Championship teams. In 1973, Greene led Ohio State to an undefeated season and a second place finish in the polls. He was MVP of the 1974 Rose Bowl. Greene was a two-time all-Big Ten pick and led the conference in total offensive as a senior.
This article is from The Independent after the Rose Bowl victory over USC in 1974:
Don't tell Cornelius Greene anything about adversity. He's faced it all his life. Being quarterback for Ohio State University, he spent most of his sophomore season handing the football to an armada of running backs.
Naturally, he was labelled a "poor passer." It was purely guilt by association.
Tuesday, Greene was asked to throw the ball to give the Buckeyes a chance to defeat Southern California in the Rose Bowl.
Cornelius successfully found the seams in the Trojans' heretofore impregnable pass defense six limes in eight attempts for 129 yards.
That opened a thrashing ground attack that pulverized the Trojans, 42-21. Greene added 45 yards afoot, scoring once more on one of his seven carries.
His flashing feet mesmerized USC tacklers as he dashed and darted for important yardage on third-and-long scrambles.
WHEN THE BALLOTS were tallied, the red-thin signal-caller had won player of the game accolades, the 20th quarterback so honored in 60 Pasadena classics.
"This is a big thrill," he acknowledged outside the Buckeyes' dressing room. "I'm proud of winning it most for my family and my city."
Greene is a modest young man of 19, who has been looking up all his life.
His father is blind. He has four sisters and three brothers helping his mother in a Washington, D.C., ghetto.
"I guess my mother's prayers were answered today," he smiled, thinking of the victory which avenged last year's 42-17 loss to most of these same Trojans.
[...]
"I COMPLETED 188 PASSES in high school for over 1,400 yards and 25 TDs," said Corny, "so I wouldn't say I couldn't pass.
"When we're averaging 350 yards a game running and still scoring more than' 37 points, we don't need to pass. But today was different."
Greene ran for 116 yards and passed for 137 more in the spring game at Columbus, but began fall drills on the third team.
"I wasn't technically, sound when I came to Ohio State, but I never lost my confidence."
When the season began he had unseated senior incumbent and co-captain Greg Hare to become Ohio State's first black quarterback.
He accepted the pressure and the criticism all season more like a senior than a sophomore.
[...]
EIGHTY SCHOOLS SOUGHT his talents, but Ohio State was the first major college "and they wanted me as a student as much as an athlete."
He spurned basketball offers (25-point average as senior) as well as a $25,000 bonus after being drafted by Baltimore.
"I was 30-2 as a pitcher and batted over .500. They wanted me as an infielder, but I wanted an education.
Where is Cornelius now? Per Ken Gordon of The Dispatch:
After Seattle released him, Cornelius briefly went to the Canadian Football league and then semi-pro ball in Columbus, Ohio before moving back to his hometown of Washington, DC in 1982. He lives there now, working for the city and managing a recreation center. He has two kids, one of which played basketball at the University of Vermont (Jason).
In 1998, he was inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame. He was the school's first black quarterback.

Had an 89-yard punt return at Middletown High...was an all-Ohio safety.
Gordon's most memorable play was this blocked punt and safety against No. 1 Iowa in 1985:
Ohio State won 22-13.

Clark's senior bio per The Ohio State Team Guide:
6-1, 193...from Cincinnati...Will be the starter at left cornerback...spectacular athlete with all-league potential...coming off his best year and should be one of the team's defensive leaders in the fall.
His forty time (:04.36) makes him one of the fastest players ever at Ohio State...also has a 32-inch vertical leap...plays excellent man coverage.
Helped lead CAPE to back-to-back state titles...a two-time all-Ohio selection as a defensive back...also played flanker and caught the winning touchdown pass in the state championship game as a senior...Carlos Snow was his teammate.

Galloway's senior bio per The Ohio State Team Guide:
5-11, 186...from Bellaire, Ohio...The Buckeyes' big play threat who is one of the most talented receivers in all of college football...a Heisman Trophy and All-America candidate...has the ability to turn a game around with his speed and elusiveness...besides having a fine pair of hands, has a great burst, making him even more dangerous once he touches the ball.
A combination of his skill and the fact OSU lacks a lot of experience in the backfield should mean he will be utilized even more this season...besides handling punt and kickoff return duties, could also line up in the offensive backfield or in the slot, where he may carry the ball more often...may be the only receiver in college who runs a 4.3 forty and bench presses 400 pounds.
Joey Galloway is one of my favorite Ohio State receivers. Every time he was on the field I anticipated a long touchdown catch and run. He led the team in receiving in 1993 and 1994.
When Galloway played I had never seen a player as fast as he was in a Buckeye uniform. He won the state track title in the 100 and 200 meter dash and his speed translated to the football field. I remember somebody saying that Galloway wasn't fast, he was crazy fast. That description has always stayed with me. Joey "Crazy Fast" Galloway is what I call him.
Nerd Note: Galloway was also a beast on Bill Walsh College Football '95 for SEGA. Ohio State was unstoppable with Galloway, George, and Hoying.
The game was made easy. Throw the deep ball to No.7. Galloway was always lined up on the left and would always make the catch.
Galloway's career per Wikipedia:
Galloway played college football at Ohio State University. While there he earned many honors and finished in the top five all time in many of Ohio State's receiving records.
During his junior year he caught 47 passes for 946 yards and tied Cris Carter with a school record 11 touchdowns. His great play earned him First-Team All-Big Ten Conference honors as a junior.
During his senior year he made 44 receptions for 669 yards and seven touchdowns, and earned Second-Team All-Big Ten Conference.He finished his college career fourth in both career receptions with 108 and receiving yards with 1,894, and second in touchdown receptions behind Cris Carter with 19.
Galloway was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the first round of the 1995 NFL Draft. He played in the NFL from 1995-2010.
For his NFL career he gained 10,950 yards and 77 touchdowns.

Germaine's senior bio from The Ohio State Team Guide:
6-2, 205...from Mesa, AZ...Was watching film and preparing for this season the day after the 1998 Nokia Sugar Bowl..."Joe is the man," says coach Cooper heading into fall camp, and all indications are he will step in as the starting signal caller after spending the past two years coming off the bench in relief of starter Stanley Jackson.
Says quarterback coach Tim Salem: "Joe has the heart and mindset that gives him an intangible advantage over others...he is more multi-dimensional than he gets credit for...he has terrific timing and accuracy, and he is the toughest quarterback I have ever coached."
Has been one of the most effective backup quarterbacks in the country the past two years, throwing for 3,040 yards (the sixth best in OSU history) and 31 touchdowns (also sixth) and completing 58.5 percent of his passes...holds the Ohio State career completion percentage record at .585 (209 of 357)...has come off the bench and tossed three touchdowns in a game four times.
Is capable of putting up staggering numbers this year as a starter...classic drop-back passer with a deft touch and amazing accuracy, especially on deep throws...reads defenses extremely well and has the ability to go to a second or third receiver when his primary receiver is covered...has played in all 25 games the past two seasons with his only start the 1996 Michigan game.
Germaine's Ohio State career per The Ohio State Media Guide:
Joe Germaine proved in two seasons as a backup that he was a fine quarterback. But it was 1998, his senior year as the starter and team co-captain, when he set 11 school records while throwing for 3,330 yards and 25 touchdowns, that separated him from other OSU quarterbacks.
He was the Chicago Tribune’s Silver Football Award winner as the Big Ten MVP that year and he led OSU to the No. 1 national ranking for a then-school-record 10 consecutive weeks. He also was named by the conference coaches as the Big Ten’s Offensive Player of the Year.

Germaine threw for 6,370 yards and 56 touchdowns in three seasons. The Mesa, Arizona, product played five seasons in the NFL.

Gamble's senior bio per The Ohio State Team Guide:
6-2, 194...from Sunrise, FL...Certainly the most versatile and arguably the best overall player in college football...starts at flanker AND cornerback for the Buckeyes and excels at both positions...also returns punts and kickoffs.
Was chosen by teammates as Co-MVP of last year's team, earned first-team All-Big Ten honors on defense...played 100 or more plays in each of the Buckeyes last four games, including 128 at Illinois.
OSU's second-leading receiver with 31 catches for 499 yards, including a 57-yard grab against Miami in the national championship game that set up a 44-yard field goal to give the Buckeyes a 17-7 lead...the latter reception was the longest pass play of the year for the Buckeyes.
Led the team in interceptions with four, all of which literally were game savers...also had six passes broken up and 24 tackles...began the 2002 season as the starting flanker but wound up starting the last six games at both positions.
Never seems to get tired and clearly enjoys playing on both sides of the ball...has been compared by Coach Jim Tressel to Cris Carter (Tressel coached Carter for two years while an assistant at Ohio State in 1984 & '85)...coaches feel he is just tapping the surface of his enormous potential, especially on offense.
First-team All-Florida selection...All-Broward County selection...considered one of the top skilled athletes in the country by the OSU coaching staff...hauled in 65 receptions for 1,012 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior...returned two kicks and one punt for a touchdowns...team played in the state championship game in 2000...also played basketball and was a starter as a junior when his team captured the state title.
Gamble's senior season per ohiostatebuckeyes.com:
Gamble enjoyed an equally spectacular year. After starting the first eight games at flanker, he also started the last five at cornerback, becoming the first two-way regular for the Buckeyes in nearly 40 years. In three of the Buckeyes final four games, the 6-2, 180-pound Gamble took part in more than 100 plays, including 128 in the overtime victory at Illinois.
In addition to being on the receiving end of 29 passes in his role as a flanker, Gamble, a product of Sunrise, Fla., also picked off a team-high 4 interceptions, broke up 6 passes and was in on 19 tackles.
All four of Gamble's interceptions were game savers, including his 40-yard touchdown return against Penn State that accounted for Ohio State's only TD in a 13-7 victory. Two of his picks came in the end zone.
The versatile Gamble, who was named to a first-team All-Big Ten berth, also led the team in punt returns and was second in kickoff returns.
Gamble's highlights from the Penn State game in 2002 per Wikipedia:
The game featured Chris Gamble starting on both offense and defense (which had last occurred for Ohio State in 1963) and playing 89 of the game's 138 plays (51 on defense, 31 on offense, and 7 on punt returns). (Lindy's p. 50) After Krenzel's fumble, Gamble caught the Penn State defender from behind at the OSU 41, preventing a touchdown return, and two plays later A.J. Hawk ended the threat with his second interception of the year.
The key play of the game, however, came on the first series of the 3rd quarter with Penn State in possession and having the lead, 7–3. Gamble "jumped the route" of the Penn State receiver, intercepted the ball at the Nittany Lion 40, and returned it down the sideline for a touchdown,the only one scored by Ohio State in the game.
The Pick-Six (0:47):
Ohio State defeated Penn State 13-7.
Gamble's Ohio State career:
While Gamble only played three years at Ohio State, he was an integral part of the 2002 National Championship team, which went 14-0. Gamble played all 3 ways at Ohio State, earning 1st Team All-Big Ten honors, and 3rd Team All-America honors for cornerback.
Gamble had 4 interceptions for the 2002 season, one of which he returned for a touchdown. Gamble was known for his game-breaking ability in all facets of the game, including defense, offense, and kick returning.
In 38 games, he started 18 times on defense and 12 times on offense (started on both offense and defense in five contests in 2002). Recorded 65 tackles (51 solos) with three stops behind the line of scrimmage, seven interceptions and 21 pass deflections.
He also caught 40 passes for 609 yards (15.2 avg.), rushed six times for 68 yards (11.3 avg.) with a touchdown, returned 60 punts for 467 yards (7.8 avg.) and had 18 kickoff returns for 384 yards (21.3 avg.).

Ginn's senior bio per The Ohio State Team Guide:
6-0, 180...from Cleveland...A Heisman Trophy and Biletnikoff Award candidate in 2006 and arguably the most exciting player in college football...will be in his third year as the Buckeyes' starting flanker and return specialist...is a threat to score any time he touches the ball.
Has Olympic speed and dazzling quickness...is an electrifying football player...came to Ohio State as a highly touted defensive back, but was moved to offense at the start of his freshman year and has evolved into one the premier receivers in the game...has terrific hands, and catches everything that comes his way...especially dangerous when he turns the corner and shifts into passing gear.
Currently ranks sixth in school annals in career punt return yardage with 634 yards on 40 attempts...needs three more touchdowns on punt returns during his career to equal the current NCAA record of eight.
Played for his father Ted Ginn Sr. in high school...was selected as the USA Today Top Defensive Player of the Year...also a 2004 parade All-American...SuperPrep named him its 2004 National Defensive Player of the Year...Most Valuable Player of the U.S. Army All-America game.
Also played quarterback, wide receiver and running back for Glenville and returned punts and kickoffs...intercepted eight passes as a senior, returning five of them for touchdowns...one of his interception returns went for a state-record 102 yard touchdown, while another went for a 97-yard score...also passed for 932 yards and 12 touchdowns and rushed for 845 yards and 17 touchdowns...named one of three 2003 Division I Offensive Players of the Year...returned four punts and one kickoff for touchdowns.
The national champion in the 110 high hurdles as a junior and recorded the best time in the nation as a senior when he won the state title for the second consecutive year...has been timed at 10.5 seconds in the 100 meter dash.
Ted Ginn, Jr. was an electric wide receiver and return specialist. In his senior year in high school Ginn was named USA Today's and SuperPrep Nationals Defensive Player of the year. Many thought Ginn was going to be a stud at cornerback. However, he made his mark on offense and special teams.
Ginn holds the following return records for Ohio State: 4 punt return touchdowns for a season (2004), 6 punt return touchdowns for a career, highest punt return yards per attempt in a season (25.6, 2004) and most kickoff returns for a career (2).
Ginn's speed and and receiving skills put many of Ohio State's opponents in a bind. The Buckeyes liked to come out in the "Ted Ginn formation" where Ginn would be lined up as the lone receiver to the wide side of the field. This would either give Ginn single coverage or require the defense to shade a another defensive player to his side. This would give Smith the option of throwing to Ginn in single coverage, find the other open receiver or audible to a run. Either way Ginn's presence on the field made Ohio State's offense a defenses' nightmare.
In my opinion, Ted Ginn, Jr. is the only Ohio State player faster than Joey Galloway.
"Ted Ginn, Ted Ginn, Ted Ginn does everything." I remember hearing a song that had those lyrics during Ginn's Ohio State playing days. Ginn's speed made it possible for him to do everything. In fact, it was his speed that had him being recruited to Ohio State, but not for football.
Ginn's Ohio State career per Wikipedia:
Ginn finished his career at Ohio State with 125 receptions for 1,943 yards and 15 touchdowns in 37 games. He also rushed for 213 yards, returned 38 kickoffs for 1,012 yards, and gained 900 yards on 64 punt returns, the second highest total in Ohio State history. Overall, he gained 4,068 total yards and scored 26 touchdowns.
He set a Big Ten record for most career punt return touchdowns with 6.
Ginn earned a spot as the Buckeyes' starting receiver his sophomore year in 2005. He finished the season with 51 receptions for 803 yards and four touchdowns. He also returned 18 kickoffs for 532 yards, along with 25 punts for 250 yards.
Ginn did it to ND as well.
Entering the 2006 season, Ginn was considered by many to be a preseason candidate for the Heisman Trophy and the Biletnikoff Award. He was a second team All-American selection and finished as the Buckeyes top receiver with 59 catches for 781 yards, while adding another 706 yards and two touchdowns on special teams. Ginn returned the opening kickoff of the 2007 BCS National Championship Game for 92 yards and a touchdown. Ginn sprained his left foot when fellow Buckeye, Roy Hall, slid into him during the celebration following the touchdown and sat on his foot. He left the game soon after and didn't return.
