Hall of Fame
A four-time letterman, Ken Zarbaugh was one of the best running backs to ever play football at Otterbein. More than 60 years later, Ken still holds two school records, including most rushing touchdowns in one game with five against both Oberlin and Ashland, and the most rushing touchdowns in a single season with 19. His five rushing touchdowns in one game is still good on the OAC's all-time top-10 list. A first-team All-OAC selection in 1949, Ken was the primary weapon for the Cardinal offense during his time at Otterbein. After graduation, he began his coaching and teaching career at Dublin High School (1950-54) and Linden McKinley High School (1954-56) before returning to his alma mater to teach and coach from 1956 to 1965. Ken returned to the public school system at Olentangy Local Schools in 1965 and served there until his retirement in 1986.
