Known as "Nasty," Nash was named to Walter Camp's 1914 second-team All-America list during his junior season and went on to a superb, 10-year professional career. In 1921, he was traded by Akron to Buffalo in the first such NFL transaction and later had the distinction of being the first captain of the New York Giants in 1925. Nash was elected posthumously.
