Doran Grant.....9
Vonn Bell.........7
Doran Grant ended his Ohio State career with 9 Interceptions.
THE INTERCEPTION DROUGHT
Ahmed Plummer is the last player to crack the career top 10 list for interceptions. That year was 1999. One would think that one player in the 2000s and 2010s would have made at least 12 interceptions during their career. The fact nobody did is more mind boggling with offenses throwing the ball more than ever before. Vonn Bell needs five interceptions to end this surprising drought.

1950s- Fred Bruney
1960s- Ted Provost and Mike Sensibaugh*
1970s- Neal Colzie and Vince Skillings*
