Dang, Looks like Ohio won the Civil War all by themselves.
Grant, Sherman, 19 major generals, 53 brigadier generals.
No wonder the south hates Ohio so much.
Numerous leading generals and army commanders hailed from Ohio. The General-in-Chief of the Union armies, Ulysses S. Grant, was born in Clermont County in 1822. Among the 19 major generals from Ohio were William T. Sherman, Philip H. Sheridan, Don Carlos Buell, Jacob D. Cox, George Crook, George Armstrong Custer, James A. Garfield, Irvin McDowell, James B. McPherson, William S. Rosecrans, and Alexander M. McCook (of the "Fighting McCook" family, which sent a number of generals into the service). The state would contribute 53 brigadier generals.[26]
Have to admit, that is pretty impressive.

Ohio has produced more presidents of the USA than any other state. Not sure how though.

I believe Ohio contributed the most soldiers of any state to the civil war as well. Irrelevant to football, but true.

You could have stopped at Sherman. He basically won the war on his own. Grant gets credit for the assist for letting him do it. He was a military mind almost a century ahead of his time.
Sherman was the practical father of modern total war theory, combining the philosophical ideals set forth by Carl Von Clausewitz in his work On War, with the contemporary tactics and realities of the time.
