Mike Doss was one of the hardest working people on the team, and said he came back to win a national championship his senior year. Most people laughed, but then found out later Ohio State would make history by being the first team to ever go 14-0 and win a National Championship. What he had to say: “I’m very humbled to have this opportunity to be inducted at such an early age. To be inducted in the first place is great, but for it to happen this soon is an honor and a privilege.”
Orlando Pace, a two-time first team All-American and two-time All-Big Ten selection, started in every game for the Buckeyes between the 1994-1996 campaigns. During his time at Ohio State, Pace became one of the most dominant offensive linemen ever to play the game. Playing one of the most challenging positions in football, Pace did not allow a sack in either of his last two years. He was known for his famous “Pancake Block” his junior year, finishing the season with 80 of those (knocking his defender to the ground and on his back). The mountain of a man went on to the NFL and earned a Super Bowl ring 2 years after being drafted.
