Andy Dumpis – Volleyball (1977-1980)
Andy Dumpis finished his career at Ohio State as a two-time All-American (1978 and 1980) and a three-time first-team Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association selection. The co-MIVA Most Valuable Player of the Year in 1980, Dumpis was a part of the Buckeye 1977 and ’78 MIVA championship teams and assisted the squad to unblemished home records of 12-0 in 1977 and 13-0 in 1980. He also helped Ohio State become the first non-West coast team to reach the NCAA championship final in 1977.  

Ivan Gilbert – Fencing (1940-1942)
Ivan Gilbert was a first-team All-American in foil in 1942. He helped lead the Buckeye fencing squad to the 1942 national title, the program’s first national championship and the second overall national title for a team at Ohio State. A three-year letterwinner from 1941-43, Gilbert was named Ohio State’s Male Fencer of the Century by the Touchdown Club of Columbus.

Marv Homan – Administrator (1948-1987)
Marv Homan was a member of the Ohio State Department of Athletics from 1948 to 1987. He began his long career as an assistant sports information director and was appointed director of that office in 1973. During his career, Homan was an ambassador of goodwill for the Buckeyes, serving as play-by-play announcer for football and basketball on both radio and television. Homan was presented the Arch Ward Meritorious Service Award by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) in 1988 and was awarded the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame Loyalty Award in 1998. He is just the fourth administrator to be inducted into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame.

Pete Johnson – Football (1973-1976)
A three-year starter, Pete Johnson was a part of four Big Ten championship teams and concluded his Buckeye career with a number of records. As a junior in 1975, Johnson led the nation in scoring, tallying a Big Ten and school record 26 touchdowns en route to first-team All-Big Ten honors. During that same season, he set an OSU individual scoring record with 30 points in a single game vs. Illinois and for the season scored 156 points, also a Buckeye record. Additionally, he holds the record for the most touchdowns scored in a game with five vs. North Carolina in 1975. Johnson is second all-time in the Ohio State records book in career points with 348 on 58 touchdowns. The 1975 (156) and 1976 (114) OSU points leader, Johnson rushed for 2,308 yards in his career. In his final season, he captured Academic All-Big Ten and Academic All-America laurels to complement his football accomplishments.
