Winner of the 1995 Heisman Trophy, Ohio State‘s Eddie George is the latest in the lineage of Buckeyes ball carriers to enter the College Football Hall of Fame.

George helped the Buckeyes to an overall 38-9-2 record, and a 24-6-2 mark in Big Ten play, where Ohio State never finished lower than second during George’s tenure. He ranks among the top three in school history in rushing yards (3,768), rushing touchdowns (44), 100-yard games (20) and holds school records with five 200-yard outings and 12 consecutive 100-yard games.

As a senior, George set a single-season school record with 1,927 rushing yards en route to winning the Heisman, Maxwell, Walter Camp, Doak Walker and Jim Brown Awards while leading the nation in scoring, placing fourth in all-purpose yards and fifth in rushing yards per game and yards per carry.

The 14th overall pick in the 1996 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers, he ranks 23rd in NFL history with 10,441 rushing yards. He played in four Pro Bowls and holds virtually every career rushing record for the Tennessee Titans. George and Jim Brown are the only 10,000 yard runners in NFL history to never miss a start.
