Pipkin participates in OSU Pro Day

Tiffin quarterback Antonio Pipkin continued to pursue his quest to land a spot on a professional football team, as he participated in the Ohio State University Pro Day held at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Thursday, March 23.

Pipkin was the only non-Buckeye participant in the event, which sees the NFL scouts coming to Columbus to see Ohio State's draft hopefuls work out on their home turf.

Earlier this year Pipkin accepted an invitation to the Reese's Senior Bowl.

Antonio is the first player in program history to garner such an invitation, and according to ESPN Analyst and Tiffin University Hall of Famer George Whitfield, he is only the third NCAA Division II quarterback to receive an invite. Statistically, Antonio is the greatest quarterback in Tiffin history, owning career records in pass attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns, plays, 300-yard passing games, and total offense. Over the course of his time at Tiffin University, Antonio compiled 10,940 passing yards, 980 completions, 88 touchdowns, a 64.7% completion percentage, and threw for 300 plus yards in a game 15 times. Pipkin also showcased his athletic ability with a ground game that saw him carry the ball 509 times for 2,207 yards and 25 touchdowns.

Antonio, a 4-time All-GLIAC selection, was named GLIAC Offensive Back of the Year in 2015, and improved upon that by being named GLIAC Player of the Year in 2016. In the GLIAC record book, Pipkin is the all-time leader in career plays (1851), pass attempts (1369), completions (870), and passing yards (9,671). He ranks 2nd in career total offense (11,749), trailing only Jason Vander Laan, a 2-time recipient of the Harlon Hill Trophy.

At the NCAA Division II level, Antonio is 13th all-time in career total offense (13,147), 27th in career passing yards (10,940), 19th in total offense per game (298.79), and is only the third quarterback ever to accumulate at least 2,000 yards rushing and 10,000 passing yards.
