Fans of college football were treated to an incredible year during the 2014-15 season. From August all the way until the season’s culminating game this past Monday evening, there was a little bit of everything this year.
In the first ever College Football Playoff, the Ohio State Buckeyes squared off against the Oregon Ducks. Two teams loaded with speed, talent and athletes from all over the country met in Dallas’ AT&T Stadium.
Ohio State defeated the Ducks by a score of 42-20 with a some help from youthful players on their team.
Upon further research, we here at Digital Scout found that combined, Oregon and Ohio State totaled 32 athletes that played their high school ball for a team that utilized Digital Scout’s stat-tracking software at one point or another. From Georgia to Ohio and Texas to California, we present our list of Digital Scout alumni who took part in the first ever CFP National Championship Game:
