HIGHLIGHTS: Heisman Trophy winner and Big Ten MVP ('95)

Few gave the Philadelphian much of a shot at winning the Heisman at the start of his senior season. But by year's end he had run away with OSU's sixth trophy by rushing for a school-record 1,927 yards and scoring 25 touchdowns. He also set a school record for receptions by a running back (47).

HIGHLIGHTS: Biletnikoff Award winner ('95)

His 253 receiving yards in a game that season is an OSU record.
