During that span, Ohio State had an overall record of 36-10-2 and 28–4 in the Big Ten, were three-time Big Ten champs.

The Buckeyes played four bowl games after each of the seasons he played: in the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl and Gator Bowl.

1957

Thomas Michael Cousineau (born May 6, 1957) is an American former college and professional football player who was a linebacker in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and National Football League (NFL) for nine seasons during the 1970s and 1980s.

He played college football for Ohio State University, and twice earned All-American honors.

1975

He graduated in 1975.

Cousineau was also an accomplished wrestler.

In 1975, under legendary coach Howard Ferguson, he lost to future NFL player Bob Golic from cross-town all-boys school rival St. Joseph High School in the Ohio state wrestling tournament semifinals in the heavyweight weight class.

The match has been called "one of the most memorable," Golic would go on to win the state title and Cousineau would finish in third place.

Golic would go to be two-time All-American at heavyweight at Notre Dame.

Cousineau and Golic would eventually become teammates in the NFL with the Browns.

Cousineau attended Ohio State University, where he played for legendary coach Woody Hayes' Ohio State Buckeyes football team from 1975 to 1978.

They were a Top 5 team for 36 weeks over these four years and the No. 1 team in the nation for eight weeks in 1975, and ultimately finished fourth, sixth and 12th in the final Associated Press polls in 1975, 1976 and 1977, respectively.

Cousineau majored in marketing.

1977

He was named an All-American in 1977 and 1978.

1978

He was a consensus first-team All-American, breaking the school record with 211 tackles in a single season in 1978, an average of 17.5 a game.

He also broke the school record for most tackles in a game with 29 against Penn State in 1978, and was the MVP of the 1977 Orange Bowl.

Cousineau's last game for the Buckeyes was the infamous 1978 Gator Bowl against Clemson, during which Coach Hayes punched Clemson linebacker Charlie Bauman in the final minutes of the game.

Hayes was fired the following day for the incident.

Cousineau still holds many of Ohio State's tackling records.

The Chicago Tribune named him the MVP of the Big Ten in 1978.

1979

He was the first overall pick of the 1979 NFL Draft, and played professionally for the CFL's Montreal Alouettes and the NFL's Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers.

He graduated from OSU in 1979.

Cousineau was drafted first overall in the 1979 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, who acquired the pick as a part of a package of five draft picks from the San Francisco 49ers in a 1978 trade for O. J. Simpson.

However, he never played a game for the Bills.

He instead signed with the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes, who signed him for double the money originally offered by the Bills.

Cousineau became a star for the Alouettes, becoming the Grey Cup Most Valuable Player in the 1979 season.

He only played in four games in his third season because of an elbow injury while the Alouettes collapsed.

1982

In 1982, Cousineau wanted to return to the NFL, choosing to forego two optional years with the Alouettes.

The Houston Oilers attempted to sign him, but the Bills (who still held Cousineau's NFL rights) matched the offer.

Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell had long been interested in signing him.

1995

He is also a member of the Ohio State Varsity "O" Hall of Fame, inducted in 1995, and St. Edward High School Hall of Fame.

2003

Cousineau was the recipient of the Silver Anniversary Butkus Award in 2003.

Cousineau was born in Fairview Park, Ohio, to Carol and Tom Cousineau Sr, who was the head football and a wrestling coach at Lakewood (Ohio) High School.

Consequently, his mother did not want him to play football under the shadow of his father.

Thus, Cousineau played high school football for nearby St. Edward High School, which is several blocks away in Lakewood.

He excelled and was one of the most highly recruited football players in the country in his senior year.

He also ranks second on both the all-time OSU tackle list with 569 (three behind Marcus Marek) and on the career solo tackles list with 259.

In 2016, he became the 25th Ohio State player, along with seven Buckeye coaches, to be named to the College Football Hall of Fame.
