The eighth, and last, player to have his football number retired at UCLA, Ogden won the Outland Trophy in '95 and was a unanimous All-American. The team MVP helped UCLA to its highest rushing per carry average (4.7) in 20 years. He was also the '96 indoor NCAA shot put champion -- a reason why he attended UCLA instead of Florida was because the school said he could compete for the track team. A first-team freshman All-American in '92, a second-team sophomore All-American in '93, a first-team All-Pac-10 and third team All-American in '94, Ogden ended up as a first-round pick (No. 4 overall) by Baltimore in '96 and has played in 10 Pro Bowls.


Other No. 79s:
==Jeff Bregel, USC football ('83-'86)
==Gary Jeter, USC football ('73-'76)
==Bob Golic, Raiders ('89-'92)
==Coy Bacon, Rams ('68-'72)
==Mike Fanning, Rams ('75-'82)
==Lance Zeno, UCLA football ('88-'90)
==Sam Baker, USC football ('04- )

Sports Illustrated's pick for the all-time No. 79: Harvey Martin.
