“Mike Doss was one of just eight three-time All-Americans in Ohio State history, and he capped his remarkable career by leading the Buckeyes to a national championship,” said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. “We are thrilled to honor him at ‘The Shoe’ for his upcoming College Football Hall of Fame induction.”
