Arguably, the finest offensive lineman in UCLA football history. Ogden was a four-year starter at offensive tackle in 1992-93-94-95. In 1992 he was named first-team Freshman All-American and followed that up as a second-team Sophomore All–American. As a junior, Ogden was named All Pac-10 and third-team All-American. As a senior in 1995, Ogden received a myriad of honors including being named the Outland Trophy winner as the top interior lineman in the nation (UCLA's first ever), unanimous first-team All-America, first-team All Pac-10, Morris Trophy winner, UPI Lineman of the Year, Lombardi Trophy runner-up and Co-UCLA offensive MVP. He was the cornerstone of UCLA's offensive line which led to the Bruins highest rushing average since 1967 at 4.7 yard per carry. In 1997, Ogden became the 8th Bruin to have his jersey retired. Ogden was the #4 overall selection in the first round of 1996 NFL draft by Baltimore. He was named the NFL All-Rookie team and has since been named to eight consecutive Pro Bowls and All-Pro teams. Ogden remains one of the best and most dominating linemen in the NFL. He helped lead Baltimore to the 2001 Super Bowl title and was named NFL Alumni Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2002. While at UCLA, Ogden was also a strong thrower on the UCLA track & field team winning the 1996 NCAA indoor track title in the shot put. Ogden also finished fourth in the 1995 NCAA outdoor championships and fifth in both 1994 and ?95 in the indoor championships.
