Two incoming freshman are going to represent two of Ohio State's all-time great football players. Justin Hilliard will wear Chic Harley's retired No. 47. Troy Smith's No. 10 will be represented by Joey Burrow. Sophomore Jalyn Holmes wore No. 10 last year.
A little insight on the other 26 Buckeyes who wore No. 47:
Chic Harley is the foundation of what Ohio State football is today.

*CHIC HARLEY PLAYED IN 1916, 1917 AND 1919. THE HONORS LISTED ABOVE WERE NOT AWARDED WHEN HE PLAYED. OHIO STADIUM IS KNOWN AS THE "HOUSE THAT HARLEY BUILT." ENOUGH SAID.

There were great players before and after him, but No. 10 is rightfully honored by Troy Smith.
