We are now 6 days away from Ohio State's 2018 season opener against Oregon State. Below, you will find a list of the 25 to players to wear No. 6 since 1933. 

This is a number that stayed dormant until the start of the 21st century. With the recent run of players, the future is looking bright for No. 6.

Today's featured players are Cie Grant, Etienne Sabino, Evan Spencer and Sam Hubbard.
