Definitive Hotness Ranking Of The Men In One Tree Hill

It's been 11 years since One Tree Hill came into our televisions and our hearts. This iconic show brought us life lessons, laughter and tears, but the greatest thing it gave us some delicious eye candy.

Welcome to Tree Hill, North Carolina! Where teenage love triangles, kidnappings and weekly murder attempts are completely casual.

One Tree Hill introduced many great men into our lives, some more alluring than others. The following ranking of hotness is based on 3 criteria: personality, relevance and most importantly overall attractiveness. Let's get started shall we?

18. Junk and Fergie

One Tree Hill Wikia / Via onetreehill.wikia.com

Neither Junk nor Fergie were attractive in OTH world because they were always irrelevant and basically just there for all the other characters to talk about how much they sucked. Even Jamie didn’t particularly enjoy their company, which is saying a lot because he liked psycho, nanny Carrie. Sure they occasionally brought some comic relief, but really? Out of all the great supporting characters through the years these are the two that always manage to randomly pop back into the plot!? All of these reasons attribute to why even old as balls Whitey is ranked as hotter than them.

**However, if I were to base this decision purely on aesthetics Fergie is definitely more attractive than Junk.

17. Whitey Durham

Oh, Coach Whitey! He was wise, inspiring and never scared to speak his mind or put people in their place. He was the glue that kept the Ravens together. That being said, the dude was like pushing 70 years old…but at least he was a sort of adorable 70-year-old?

16. Tim Smith

Tim was Nathan's BFF/minion for the first two seasons then he slowly fell off the radar. He's known as the class idiot and most people found him annoying. In the hunk department he definitely wasn't at the top in Tree Hill, but he was actually decently cute and on top of that he was hilarious. On dare night when he and Nathan dressed up as the Lady Leprechauns? #died. If he would've became a more solidified member of the cast throughout the series he would definitely be ranked higher, but alas, the writers of OTH didn't give him the screen time he deserved.

15. Mouth McFadden

Minkus...I mean Mouth was cute in a nerdy way during high school, but then as the other guys grew more masculine and sexy he looked nearly the same. Mouth was a sweetheart and was always a loyal friend. His hair, unfortunately, didn't express the same loyalty towards him. It was always way too big for his head and it seemed to get progressively worse over time. The poor kid was friend zoned so hard by everyone for the first 6 seasons, but luckily he eventually finds his true love, Millie.

14. Professor Andy aka Mr. Karen Roe

Andy was Karen's millionaire college professor. They started dating shortly after she enrolled in his class because when Karen isn't running a coffee shop she likes to spend her time being a cougar. They broke up, but then eventually got back together. Now they apparently just travel around the world on a yacht and will continue doing that for the rest of their lives. Andy was cute and had a hot Australian accent, but all in all he was a pretty bland character.

13. Felix Taggaro

I know, I know Felix was a homophobe, a manipulator and an overall terrible person…but you have to admit he was really pretty. His time in Tree Hill was short-lived, but his radiant smile, chiseled abs and impeccable bone structure shall remain etched in our minds for years to come.

12. Antwon "Skills" Taylor

TV Guide / Via static.tvgcdn.net

The dude with the most unusual dating repertoire in all of Tree Hill. Skills was funny and sarcastic, but he also had a sensitive side that included crying while watching the Notebook. What he lacks in hair on his head he makes up for with a strong eyebrow game. He's a 5'6" basketball player which doesn't make a lot of sense. It also wasn't ever clearly established what his "skills" are. I don't necessarily find Skills extremely attractive, but knowing his past relationships I feel like he could seduce pretty much anyone which gives him major credibility.

11. Uncle Cooper

Damn, just damn. Those baby blue eyes and that charming smile almost makes you forget about how he accidentally had a relationship with a high school student...almost.

10. Owen Morello

One Tree Hill Wikia

Owen was tall, dark and handsome. Overall he might have been hottest eye candy to ever grace the show. However, he had his shortcomings. He was literally a recovering alcoholic working as a bartender which I think everyone knew was a disaster waiting to happen. He broke Brooke's heart, but then again most guys do in Tree Hill so you can't really hold that against him.

9. Dan Scott

Crushable / Via cdn2.crushable.com

It was a struggle figuring out where to place Dan Scott on this list.

Character wise he started out as the most hated, murderous, life ruining, narcissistic, a-hole in Tree Hill. However, he truly redeemed himself, was granted forgiveness from his loved ones and became the heart and soul of the final season. Appearance wise he was pretty hot for a dad in the early seasons and even looked decent during his multiple stints of heart failure in the later seasons.

**Still not completely confident with this ranking

8. Chase Adams

Amazon.com

Chase came from his native Laguna Beach to Tree Hill High in season 4 as a "clean teen" which he got over quickly and hooked up with Brooke, naturally, in the backseat of a car. He was a bit of a dork, but still managed to have relationships with all of the most gorgeous and talented girls in town. Probably because of that beautiful tan of his and always on point spiky hair. Chase is also great with kids and he becomes a pilot in the Air Force. Gotta love a man in uniform.

7. Keith Scott

Huffington Post / Via i.huffpost.com

Oh, Keith. He made some mistakes and always seemed to get the short end of the stick, but through adversity he always remained noble and kind. Keith was a role model for all on One Tree Hill. He had the heart of a lion, and the flow of one too (totally jealous of the volume in that hair).

6. Clay Evans

One Tree Hill Wikia

Clay was Nathan's agent and best friend from season 7 and so on (sucks to suck, Tim). He comes off kind of as a womanizer at first, but over time we discover he's actually the sweet, romantic type. We also learn in season 8 that he can take a bullet to the chest, lay unconscious and bleed out for 14 hours without any medical attention and survive, which is pretty bad ass. He has a ripped bod as well as a strong eyebrow game that is almost too strong, but it works.

5. Chris Keller

One Tree Wikia & Fanpop / Via img2.wikia.nocookie.net

The man, the myth, the legend. Chris Keller is the guy everyone loved to hate. He was egotistical and extremely talented, he always knew how to crawl underneath people's skin which was hilarious to watch. Although he was selfish, he surprisingly always had the best intentions for others in mind. He is fine even with that awful blowout and puka shell necklace combo. The fact that he always talks in third person is also a plus.

4. Julian Baker

One Tree Hill Wikia

Julian is truly the most genuine and selfless guy on this list. Clearly he's a beautiful man, but what made him most attractive was his huge heart. He always went above and beyond for the ones he loves. Julian was also a geek in high school, which still shines through in moments and it is adorable.

3. Lucas Scott

Via degrassi.wikia.com

Where do I begin? Lucas Scott was the golden boy of Tree Hill and a best friend to all. He was the underdog who came out on top. Lucas was sensitive, passionate, poetic and absolutely gorgeous. His hair embodies everything the early 2000s stood for. He also falls in love faster than a basic white girl does with pumpkin spice lattes. The way he went back and forth with his feelings could give anyone whiplash, but in the end everyone had to forgive him. I mean how couldn't you? That smile tho.

2. Jake Jagielski

I realize that this is a very bold second place pick, but I firmly believe that Jake was the most underrated OTH character of all time.

Beautiful bronze hair: Check

Hunky and athletic: Check

Supportive friend: Check

Loving boyfriend: Check

Devoted father: Check

Jake Jagielski was and always will be perfection.

1. Nathan Scott (duh)

Giphy

Come on, who else would it be? First things first, he's a man's man: strong, resilient and a dedicated worker, but at the end of the day he is so much more than that. Nathan is the representation of how genuine love can transform a person. He evolved from the stereotypical douchebag to debatably the greatest dad and husband of all time. He has come across countless trials in his life, but he fights through adversity and arises a better person each time. Nathan is the ultimate romantic hero of One Tree Hill and thanks to him hundreds of girls will most likely die alone because no one will ever compare to him.

When he sang for Red Bedroom Records and did that ^

Kevin Federline

I am convinced this was essentially a PR stunt designed by K-fed himself to make us all think he's a rock star instead of a backup dancer/the former Mr. Britney Spears. It didn't work.
