Autographs of Rex Kern
Rex William Kern (born May 28, 1949) is an American former professional football player. He played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) at defensive back for the Baltimore Colts and Buffalo Bills. In college, Kern was the quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes from 1968 to 1970; the Buckeyes went undefeated in 1968 and were national champions. Kern was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2007.
Kern was born on May 28, 1949, in Lancaster, Ohio, where he was raised by his mother Jean, a former high school athlete, and father Trenton Kern, a barber. Kern was a star three-sport athlete for Lancaster High School and graduated in 1967. His favorite high school sports season was with his 1966 basketball team. In baseball, he was selected in the 16th round of the 1967 baseball draft (306th overall) by the Kansas City Athletics, and was offered basketball scholarships to UCLA, North Carolina, and Ohio University. However Kern had long sought to play basketball for Fred Taylor of Ohio State and had fostered a relationship with Taylor that led to a scholarship offer.
During the recruiting process, he was also recruited by Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes and committed to Ohio State to play both sports. Hayes and Taylor agreed Kern could play both sports. He was drafted by the A’s after agreeing to attend Ohio State, and Trenton Kern reminded his son that Kern had already given his word to play for Hayes and Taylor.
