Ohio State University is well known as a place where linebackers thrive. From the 1970s right up until almost the present day, there is a litany of great linebacking names associated with the college.

Players like Randy Gradishar and Marcus Marek, like Steve Rovar and Na'il Diggs. All these players and many more were listed as All-American linebackers while they played at OSU.
