Jones was one of the outstanding college football players in the 1930s. From 1933 to 1935, he played at Ohio State University as a center on offense and a linebacker on defense. Jones was the anchor of the Buckeyes' offensive line, and was named team MVP following the 1934 and 1935 seasons. In 1935, he was named team captain and was a consensus All-American. Jones was selected by the Chicago Cardinals in the second round of the 1936 NFL Draft as the 15th player selected overall, but chose instead to pursue a career in coaching. While at Ohio State, he was a member of the Alpha Rho Chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.

Wolf's Ohio State career per ohiostatebuckeyes.com:

Ralph Wolf played center on offense and along the defensive line for Ohio State between 1935-37, and he was a two-year Varsity O letter winner. A two-time team MVP (1936 and 1937), Wolf was also a team captain for coach Francis Schmidt's 1937 team that posted a 6-2 record and was second in the Big Ten Conference with a 5-1 mark. He was also a member of the 1935 Ohio State team that was 7-1 and won the Big Ten with a 5-0 record, and the 5-3, 1936 team that was second in the Big Ten with a 4-1 mark.

A first-team All-American in 1937, Wolf was also named to the Big Ten's all-conference first team that year. His play helped the Buckeyes win three games over rival Michigan, all by shutout ( 38-0 in 1935; and 21-0 scores in the 1936 and 1937 games, respectively). Another big win that Wolf was a part of was the 1937 win over Northwestern, 7-0, which represented Ohio State's first victory over a nationally-ranked team.

Wolf was an excellent student, maintaining close to a 4.0 GPA in the engineering program and he was president of the junior class.

He was selected as the team's Most Valuable Player three straight years*. White also earned all-Big Ten honors in 1958. White was a key player in Ohio State's 1957 victory over Iowa that sent the Buckeyes to the Rose Bowl. White racked up 209 rushing yards and scored three touchdowns against Iowa in 1958.

Johnson's senior bio per The Ohio State Team Guide:

Fullback Pete Johnson head into his senior year as the defending national scoring champion and the most prolific point producer in Ohio State football history.

The 6-1, 247-pound Johnson, who is bidding to become the Buckeyes' first All-American fullback since John Brockington, 1970, scored a school and Big Ten record 26 touchdowns last year enroute to the NCAA scoring crown. Only Lydell Mitchell, with 29 TD's in 1971, has tallied more six pointers in a single season.

Johnson now has 39 TD's at Ohio State and is within striking distance of the NCAA records for career touchdowns and total points. Both marks are held by Army's Glenn Davis, who scored 59 TD's and 359 points during his fabled West Point career. Johnson needs 21 TD's this year to rewrite the record books.

If Johnson can top the 1,000 yard mark again this year, he would join Archie Griffin as the only OSU runners ever to enjoy back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons. Additionally, another 1,000 yard season would vault Pete into second place on the all-time OSU rushing list, behind only Griffin, the leading rusher in college football history.

For those wondering, Johnson finished his career with 56 touchdowns (four short of breaking the record). He also ran for 724 yards his senior year.

Johnson's Ohio State career per The Ohio State Team Guide:

But the 6-1, 247-pound Johnson was much more than a just a blocking back. He also was proficient at lugging the pigskin, rushing for 2,308 yards and a school-record 58 touchdowns during his career. To say “Big Pete” had a nose for the goal line would be an understatement. He led the nation in scoring as a junior, tallying a school and Big Ten record 26 touchdowns.

He also rushed for 1,059 yards and converted 34 of 44 third-down tries. Johnson set a school record that year with five TDs against North Carolina. In 1976, playing almost the entire season with two sprained ankles, Johnson still rushed for 724 yards and 19 touchdowns. His 156 points in 1975 was a school record and 348 career points stood as the school record until the 2004 season. He played eight seasons in the NFL and was elected to the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2007.

Laurinaitis' senior bio per The Ohio State Team Guide:

6-3, 240...from Hamel, MN...Returning All-American, Butkus and Bagurski Award recepient...the most proficient linebacker in the college ranks today...smart, instinctive player who studies every facet of the game...exceptional dedication in the weight room and on the practice field...wants to make his senior season his best.

Named Minnesota's Defensive Mr. Football as a senior...collected 193 tackles, including 28 tackles-for-loss and five sacks as a senior after racking up 160 tackles as a junior...led Wayzata to the Minnesota 5A state championship as a senior...also a hockey standout and team captain as a senior.

Laurinaitis' Ohio State career per The Ohio State Team Guide:

The most decorated linebacker in Ohio State history, James Laurinaitis was a three-time consensus All-American while playing on four Big Ten championship teams. Twice helping the Buckeyes to the BCS championship game (and setting a championship game record with 18 tackles vs. LSU), he won the Bronko Nagurski Award for the nation’s most outstanding defensive player as a sophomore, took home the Butkus Award as America’s top linebacker as a junior, and became Ohio State’s first-ever winner of both the Lott Trophy and the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award as a senior. He was a finalist 12 times for national awards during that three-year period.

Leading Ohio State in tackles as a sophomore, junior and senior, Laurinaitis finished his career with 375 total tackles, seventh-best in Buckeye history. Selected as the preseason and postseason Big Ten defensive player of the year for 2007 and 2008, Laurinaitis was a two-time team captain for a defensive unit that led the nation in total defense in 2007 and never ranked lower than 15th nationally throughout his career.

Despite projections of a high draft status after his junior campaign, the Hamel, Minn., native returned for his senior season, helping the Buckeyes put together their record fifth-straight win over Michigan. An academic all-Big Ten selection, Lauriniaitis was tireless in community service, public speaking and outreach. He was drafted by the NFL’s St. Louis Rams and graduated in March of his senior year.
