Andy Katzenmoyer | Ohio State Highlights
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- The best of The Big Kat at Ohio State. Andy Katzenmoyer arrived in Columbus as one of the most highly touted recruits in Ohio State history, and lived up to the hype. He was the first true freshman linebacker to start his first game in program history, and won Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 1996. In 1997, he won the Butkus Award, sent Corby Jones back in time, and was a consensus All-American. In just three years he had almost 200 solo tackles, 50 tackles for loss, 18 sacks, and six interceptions.

He looked like he was put on earth to play linebacker.
"......football is something I was made for....." - Dick Butkus
Him & Lavar Arrington were the best Big Ten linebackers I’ve seen play in that era in my opinion
True indeed, Big guys who Covered the pass, rushed the quarterback and were run stoppers. Super athletic freaks of nature
Big Kat is one of the best MLB I ever seen play college football. He was really like that.
Ill second that
Brian Urlacher too
@@frederickfairlieesq5316Urlacher played in the Mountain West not the Big 10 although obviously he definitely could have
He was the best linebacker in college football.
in his era
So glad he was a home grown Ohio boy! Big Kat was definitely Spielman 2.0!!! Boy would it have been fun to watch him on a Tressel or Meyer coached team!!!!!
I met the Big Kat at the Big33 high school football all-star game in 1996 when I was 10. It was crazy to see him on the cover of SI just a couple years later.
My brother had that picture on his wall, the one that was a close up of his visor.
I still have that SI magazine
As an Iowa fan, far too many lowlights. This definitely takes me back to my younger years watching football. Katzenmoyer was amazing. He looked like a machine out there. And considering his injury history, he's a prime example of why these dudes should get paid in some form.
I've been waiting for someone to make a Katzenmoyer highlight film for YEARS now. Thank you so much!
same
Indeed
That 98 team should’ve won the NC.
same here!
He was a total beast
he really was a great player. and these old highlights only bring the repeated pain of realization of how JCooper really messed up not accomplishing more than he did with all the talent he had on those teams in the 90's.
REMEMBER WHEN => OSU BECAME LINEBACKER U !!! Loved those BIG HITS !!!!!
Cooper and Meyer always underachieved => because they played the WRONG QB in the WRONG OFFENSIVE SCHEME. Meyer was worse (even though we beat TTUN) => at least Copper had the common sense to put Joe Germaine in => so we could win the game.
Cardale Jones only got in when JT Barrett was injured.....or we don't win the 2014 NATTY.
OSU beat TTUN, in 2017 => because Meyer's QB was injured again.
In 2016, Ohio State lost 0 - 31 to Clemson with Burrow and Haskins on the BENCH.
Our REC'vers TORCHED CLEMSON's DB's ! Meyer squandered 3 NATTY's playing JT !
At least COOPER inserted Joe Germaine into the Rose Bowl Game and came home a victor because of his OWN VOLITIONAL DECISION.
Best LB in OSU history in my opinion, just wish he didn't hurt his neck in the NFL
I think you mean Chris Spielman.
@@buckeye27fan no i mean Andy
@@jessehensley1812 I had completely forgotten that he ALSO hurt his neck, cutting his career even shorter than Spielman's.
He wasn’t better than pepper Johnson
AJ Hawk was nice too! But my favorite was Mike Vrabel
One of the greatest linebackers of all time
thank you, thank you, thank you! Was just going on and on about this guy but last time I checked his highlight reels were hard to find. Im a huge MSU Spartan fan but loooved to watch this guy, especially how he would destroy everyone on UofM's offense
In my opinion the Big Kat was different he was one of the best MLB I ever seen play college football. Fast, physical, & very football smart. It was a blessing watching him play.
He was feared in college.
On the positive side my boy actually is graduating along side current OSU football players this Sunday. 👍🏾💯 Good ending in my book
Shame he got injured in the NFL.... He would’ve been part of the Patriots dynasty, with multiple super bowl trophies!
As a Michigan fan, i honestly loved watching him play! Guy was a big time stud for OSU
He just understood defense
@@mannyjay2206 my brother is a shitigan fan lol but he said the same thing, the way he moved for his size at 6'3 250 was pretty amazing
@@jessehensley1812 🤣🤣
THE BIG KAT....!! WOW WAS HE THE REAL DEAL INSTINCTS SPEED POWER HARD HITTING ...THAMKS.FOR THE MEMORIES AND PLENTY OF EXCITING HARD HITTING GAME FILMS....GO BUCKS...!!
I remember shaking his hand in the line up after we lost to the wildcats in the first round of the playoffs. I must have been a buck sixty then, so I felt like a child next to him. As much as I 'hated' our rivals, I was happy to see both him and Carter make it to the NFL, they both unfortunately had short careers
That hit on Michigan running back Howard showed how much he hated Michigan. It still resonates today! Go Bucks!
I was at that game in 1996, great atmosphere 👌
Not a college football fan, but there were a few guys who were such a big deal in college that even I knew about them:
Andy Katzenmoyer
Tim Tebow
Kijana Carter
Micheal Vick
Maurice Clarett
Lotta busts, but they seemed to be pretty big deals in college.
I remember watching this guys as a True Freshman! I hated “The OSU”, but this guys was a F#%^ BEAST!!! He was The Best ILB I’ve ever seen in college for his Freshman/Sophomore years. Damn shame with all the Neck injuries his next few years and in the NFL.
I don't know about best ever I'd take Brian Bozworth before the Big Kat he was great though besides that weak neck of his .
@@redman4076: Boz was Awesome, but the BK his Frosh/Soph seasons were epic. His Freshman year was actually his BEST!
@@Bigload992G Ya he was on a different level in college I remember hoping it wld transfer over to the NFL
@@redman4076: Yup👍🏿
I remember number 45 huge MLB For Ohio State making huge hits.
Hit by the Big Kat!
These are most of his great plays. We were losing to Missouri away when Katzenmoyer changed the game by crushing Jones. I also still talk about that pass he batted away against WV. They thought Zereoué was going to win the Heisman that year... same with Iowa's RB, who was quoted after the game saying Katzenmoyer was in the backfield more than he was. ;) Katzenmoyer also shut down Ron Dayne when he was there.
But the main thing this video doesn't capture is the year before we got Biakabutuka'ed. Andy put an end to that $!%&. I'm pretty sure another RB never rushed for over 100 yards the 3 years Katzenmoyer was there.
The big Kat was a beast , if not for an injury he would have been the same in the NFL
There's not been many linebackers like Andy katzenmoyer in football history. Offenses were literally scared of him. And for good reason! Goat.
My man ran a 4.5 at 260 and hit like truck. I would say so
He was so dope!!! ✌🏽
IMO…. He was the best linebacker of all time, he was fast, huge, and could hit like a freight train….. I had a chihuahua at the time and she was obsessed with him… she would sit and stare at the screen when he played, I had to buy a sports illustrated so I could get his picture to put on the wall next to her bed and she would just lay there and look at it, when she passed, I had her cremated and got his football card and it lays on top of her urn.
What a beast
I remember being a ohio state fan as a kid and patriots fan. I prayed the patriots would draft him and they did. Oh boy it just didnt work out!
Never seen anyone hit like him before or since. W/the possible exception of Ronnie Lott.
I want to create my all-time Buckeye team on Madden. I want him as the MLB. Orlando Pace as the LT.
Kat took care of business and earned his degree from Ohio State a few years ago - respect. He's now in insurance.
I remember the hype,damn shame he got injured
The Big Kat. Guy was a god damn freak.
He’s a monster
TTUN on our menu saturday!!!!! going into the big house and making that shit ours!!!!! GO BUCKS!!!!!
Man Big Katz Was The Truth!!!!!!@I dont care if you love or hate OSU
The reason I became a mthfkn New England Patriots fan!!!!
My childhood idol 💯🏉🏈💪
Big Kat!
He was a great LB for buckeyes. He also went apeshit and lost his mind ripping fire extinguishers off walls in the towers at OSU and chucked them
The Big Kat…too bad the injuries got him. But he was a player
Big Kat reminds of Bozworth
That 96 team was outstanding moreso on defense..unfortunately it was the Era that no matter how good either ohio st or Mich was ...Michigan would always beat them and ruin an undefeated season and any shot at a natty
FIRST ROUNDER IN 1999.....BUST LB BUT HE WAS TALENTED ENOUGH GOING INTO THE NFL DRAFT
.35 that's how u take on a fullback
He'd be put at D-End though today.
The BIG KAT!!!! 🏈 Two Great Teams.
If I remember right higher recruit then A.J.Hawk, Bobby Carpenter and Slagle. Just couldn't stay healthy though.
One of several Ohio State players that couldn't even spell their own name... Dee Dee Dee
I think they need the Ryan Day show on sunday morning.???? Ideas
Why didn't this guy do more in the NFL?
he hit so hard and lead with his head that his neck was all fucked up you can see on the videos he is planting his head right into people which if he cut back some of the huge hits and just wrapped up more his neck wouldn't be as fucked up. Also he wrapped up like shit with the pats
Too many Neck injuries 🤕
His body couldn't handle the hits especially against the BIG BOY'S in the NFL
@@redman4076: His neck was toast by his Jr. year!!!! It wasn’t just the NFL. Dude lead with crown of helmet on EVERY tackle. U would think someone at THE OSU would teach him proper form tackling🧐
@@Bigload992G Ya it was scary but that's how people hit back the n the hay days of what I call "REAL" football. Now if you look at someone wrong you get thrown out of the game for targeting Its a girls sport now lol
Too bad he destroyed his shoulders.
What an NFL bust though 💩
He got injured at the beginning of his prime tho
It wasn't because he was a bad football player. He incurred a bad neck injury. You can't play with that in the NFL during or after.
@@willievickers2452 Just because you favor him doesn't mean he wasn't a BUST injury or not it doesn't change that fact 🤔
It's not favoring him at all. Being an athlete myself. A bad neck injury sucks. Especially if you play defense. Wanna ask Ryan Shazier what happened to him? Bad neck, back, and spine injuries are majority of the time career enders. Are u an athlete? Or are you just whistling Dixie because you can be an ass?
@@willievickers2452 I only played football from 3rd grade through high school(defensive end/Sam backer ) BUT I was in boxing and wrestled through high school and was into judo for 10+yrs I understand injury VERY well Alls I'm saying injury or not he was a bust If you don't live up to expectation regardless of the circumstances your considered a BUST that's just how it goes his body cld not take the " big hit's" and was injury prone WHICH makes him a BUST 🤦🏽♂️
Keith Jackson and Saturdays in the fall... There was nothing better.
Love the Buckeyes …..but the Water Boy comes to mind when watching Big Kat…..” Gatorade is Better “
