On the basketball court, Aaron Craft led the Buckeyes to a 23-7 finish this year.
In the classroom, he shines equally bright. A nutrition (pre-med) major with a 3.92 GPA, Craft was recognized as an Academic All-American for the second year in a row.
Craft's combination of basketball skills and character have earned him a place in the national spotlight: In January, Sports Illustrated cited his academic record and nice-guy reputation in "The Art of Aaron Craft," calling the Buckeyes' No. 4 "almost too good to be true."
Craft takes his cues from the top: This season, Coach Thad Matta teamed up with President E. Gordon Gee and Coach Urban Meyer to kick off the Ohio Scholarship Challenge, to raise $100 million for Ohio State students. Recently, Matta won $100,000 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities Central Ohio through the Infiniti Coaches' Charity Challenge. (Thanks to the Buckeye fans who voted for his charity to win!)
