Ohio State s roster is littered with All-Americans, totaling seven, yes, count `em, SEVEN returning All-Americans. In addition to the aforementioned three, Micah Jordan, Joey McKenna, Myles Martin and Kollin Moore have also found their way to the NCAA podium in past seasons.

IT S BEEN AWHILE By the time Kyle Snyder takes the mat on Sunday (Jan. 21), it will have been a full 34 months since he last suffered a collegiate loss (March 21, 2015). That is a span of 1,037 days. LOADED LINEUP Ohio State s starting 10 owns a combined season record of (.923). 1
