89 days until kickoff!!! And with that, we have another edition of The Men Behind the Numbers. Today’s subject is former Buckeye Tight End Darnell Sanders. Sanders was a part of the 1997 OSU recruiting class, but did not enroll until the winter of 1998. That was back when OSU was still on the quarter system. Coming in a 6’6 and 270 during his playing days, he was the Darnell Washington of his era.
