Gene Fekete was a American football player that attended The Ohio State University from 1938-1942. In 1942 Gene Fecket was elected as an All-America and helped OSU to their very first national title going 9-1. Also in 1942 Fekete finished eight in the Heisman voting making him the first Ohio State player to finish in the top ten. Fekete still holds the school record for the longest run from scrimage a 89 dash to the end zone on which he did not score in a game v.s Pitt on Nov. 7 1942. ( The run actually was a touchdown. It is a misprint in the program that has never been corrected. The video can be seen on Youtube.)
