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).
 
Hoying remains in the top five on Ohio State’s all-time charts for career touchdown passes (57), career completions (498) and career passing yards (7,232). He was elected to the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.
 
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 School 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.
