Stillwagon's bio per the Ohio State Team Guide: 

6-0, 220...from Mt. Vernon...was an all-American selection at middle guard last year...extremely active and competitive...has excellent lateral movement...perhaps the finest middle guard to play at Ohio State...one of the hardest hitters on the squad...becomes a linebacker when Ohio State uses a four-man line...his top games last year came against Purdue and Michigan State...his top thrill came when Ohio State won the Rose Bowl and was named National Champions.

Attended Augusta Military Academy in Virginia, where he won 14 letters in five sports...hobbies are hunting and fishing...father is personnel director for an industrial firm...from a family of three, all boys.

Jim Stillwagon's Ohio State career per The Ohio State Team Guide:

Jim Stillwagon made college football history in 1970 by becoming the first player to win the Outland Trophy and the Lombardi Award in the same year.

Stillwagon, a three-year starter at middle guard for the Buckeyes between 1968 and 1970, was a unanimous All-American as a junior and senior.

During “Wagon’s” three seasons at Ohio State, the Buckeyes compiled a 27-2 record, won three Big Ten championships, played in two Rose Bowls and won a pair of national championships.

With Stillwagon clogging the middle, the Ohio State defense simply shut down opposing offenses. In 1969, the Buckeyes gave up just 93 total points. In 1970, only two opponents scored more than 13 points; five were held to under 10 points.

Tough, strong, aggressive, intelligent, relentless: all are adjectives that were used to describe Stillwagon. He was quite simply the best defensive lineman in college football in 1970. No one was surprised when he walked off with the Outland and Lombardi awards. The surprise would have come if someone else had been chosen.

After graduation, Stillwagon was drafted by the Green Bay Packers. He chose instead to play in the Canadian Football League and was one of the premier defensive linemen in that league before retiring.

Stillwagon, a member of the College Football (1991) and Ohio State Athletics (1979) halls of fame, is president of Stillwagon Enterprises in Columbus.

LeCharles Bentley's Ohio State career per The Ohio State Team Guide:

LeCharles Bentley was another in a long line of outstanding offensive linemen at Ohio State. During the 2001 season , he won consensus all-Big Ten and All-America honors, was chosen as the Big Ten’s Offensive Lineman of the Year and was named winner of the second annual Dave Rimington Award as the best center in college football. He became the 20th Ohio State player to win a major award.

Bentley, a native of Cleveland, enjoyed a stellar senior year, capping a brilliant career starting all 11 regular-season games and grading out to a winning performance in each game. Time and again, it was the 6-2, 300-pound Bentley who was called upon to provide the key block that either kept a drive alive or led to an Ohio State touchdown. He graded 90 percent or better in nine of the 11 games he played and was chosen as offensive lineman of the week five times. At the end of the season, the coaching staff selected him as the offensive player of the year.

Bentley was a three-year starter for the Buckeyes. He started the final seven games of the 1999 season (six at guard and one at tackle) before moving to center as a junior in 2000. He started all 12 games as a junior, playing through a painful lower back condition, and won second-team All-Big Ten honors.

At the end of his senior year, he won first-team All-America honors on the Walter Camp, Football Writers, Football Coaches, and Associated Press teams. As a senior, Bentley faced the challenge of playing for a new coaching staff. He quickly won that group’s confidence and admiration with his tough, smart and physical
style of play.

A second-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in the 2002 NFL Draft, Bentley was named Sports Illustrated’s Offensive Rookie of the Year. He earned two Pro Bowl selections during his career with the Saints and Cleveland Browns.

Decker's bio from The Ohio State Team Guide:

6-8, 315...from Vandalia...Taylor Decker is the leader of the offensive line that has been one of the best in college football over his two seasons as a starter and, according to Ohio State coaches, expect this mammoth, animal sciences major to contend for national honors and major awards as a senior in 2015...a first team preseason All-American by The Sporting News and Athlon Sports.

After hearing Decker speak one day following the terrible news surrounding a fallen teammate, one media member said Decker "handled himself with incredible poise..." his leadership is also represented in the fact he is a three-time "Iron Buckeye" award winner, which is awarded to six players bi-annually for unquestioned physical training dedication, determination, discipline, toughness and leadership.

Typically carries one of the most impressive course loads on the team...Decker has also made time to intern the past two summers with the world famous Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
