Ohio State QB Listing Appears Misattributed; Verified Football Profile Is a Physical, Productive Running Back
The available reliable data does not support Jim Otis as an Ohio State quarterback; the best-documented Jim Otis was a bruising running back who played three seasons at Ohio State and later became an NFL Pro Bowler, with 2,441 rushing yards and 34 total touchdowns in college and 4,350 career NFL rushing yards. That profile points to a high-volume, durable, physical back rather than a finesse or passing-oriented player, so if you are evaluating him as a roster fit, the key takeaway is toughness, production, and workload reliability—not QB traits.
