Ohio State no longer technically retires numbers meaning it won't permanently take a jersey number out of circulation even if the school honors an all-time great. 

The current list of honored numbers includes the following legends: 

  • #10 - Troy Smith
  • #22 - Les Horvath
  • #27 - Eddie George
  • #31 - Vic Janowicz
  • #40 - Howard "Hopalong" Cassady
  • #45 - Archie Griffin
  • #47 - Chic Harley
  • #99 - Bill Willis

If it were up to you, which Buckeye great would you select to be honored next and why? 

I'll take #75, Orlando Pace. Reason? Simply put, he remains the best collegiate offensive lineman of all-time. I think he might've done fairly well in the NFL too.
