A model student-athlete, Bobby Hoying became the first Big Ten player to win the Campbell Trophy, having built an incredible résumé as a three-year starting quarterback at Ohio State and a four-time Academic All-Big Ten selection.

From 1993-95, Hoying started 38 games for the Buckeyes, leading them to a 30-7-1 record and a share of the 1993 Big Ten championship.

Named team captain in 1995, he earned First Team All-Big Ten honors, and he left the university holding single-season marks in passing efficiency (163.4), completion percentage (.580) and 200-yard passing games (16). He still stands atop the Ohio State all-time chart for career touchdown passes (57) and career completions (498), and his 7,232 career passing yards place him second on the all-time Buckeye list for that mark.

A 1995 third-round selection of the Philadelphia Eagles, Hoying started 13 games in three seasons for the Eagles, and he played two more seasons with the Oakland Raiders before retiring in 2001. A native of the Dayton, Ohio, area, Hoying played high school football at St. Henry High School, and he ascended to the top of the high school ranks as well, earning a coveted NFF National High Scholar-Athlete Award in 1991. In college, he was a regular speaker at elementary schools and a visitor to children's hospitals while serving on the OSU Student-Athlete Advisory Board.

Hoying currently works as the co-chairman and a principal in the Crawford Hoying Real Estate Services, working on commercial and residential projects mainly within Central Ohio. He resides in Dublin, Ohio, with his wife and their two children.
