A four-time letterman, Ken Zarbaugh was one of the best running backs to ever play football at Otterbein College. Sixty years later, Ken still holds three school records, including most total touchdowns and most rushing touchdowns in one game with five against both Oberlin and Ashland, and the most rushing touchdowns in a single season with nineteen. His record of scoring five touchdowns in one game is still good for third all time in the OAC. 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.
