The Ohio State Buckeyes have lost a beloved member of their football family.
Former Ohio State standout defensive back Mike Sensibaugh has passed away, according to multiple reports. Sensibaugh is one of the best defensive backs in Ohio State football history.
Sensibaugh, a Cincinnati, Ohio native, has reportedly passed away at the age of 72. The wife of the former Ohio State Buckeyes star announced the tragic news on Facebook, per the Kansas City Star.
“Former Ohio State safety Mike Sensibaugh, still OSU’s career interception leader with 22, has died. He was a key part of the Super Sophs that led the Buckeyes to the 1968 national title. He was 72,” Ohio State football reporter Bill Rabinowitz tweeted.

Longtime Ohio State football writer Tim May also paid tribute.
“Sad to hear of passing of Mike Sensibaugh, 72, former Ohio StateAll-America safety and member of “super sophs” on ’68 national title team. His 22 career interceptions still school record, as is his 9 int. in ’68, tied with Craig Cassady,” he tweeted.
