Certainly one of the truly iconic of all college football helmets, this OSU helmet has the gladiator shell Medalist 261, with low hookup chinstrap and leather jaw pads, fluid-cell padding and Wildcat Snubber. Not attributed to any particular player, it has been drilled for a cage mask and broken clips are still present with bolts, but no facemask present. The famed Buckeye Award stickers are present as follows: nine on the left side and 10 on the right. A pair of oval-shaped, encircled “G” stickers are affixed, heritage unknown, and thought to have been placed after use.
