Biography:
Talented receiver and defensive back who is already sitting on several offers. Teams who have offered include the following.

scUM- they want him as a CB- they are his favorite
West Virginia
Boston College
Northwestern
Purdue
Bowling Green

Impressive offer list for a relative unknown-wow!

Audibles: "He's tall, lean, quick, and fast. He's a playmaker. He catches the ball well." -Middletown coach Eric Tudor

If anybody can find info on him please add to the thread

He will camp at tOSU (and scUM, BG and Miami of Ohio) this summer

He is not ranked in Ohio High mag top 100- I guess scUM and Purdue didn't look at the ranking before they offered

I don't know much about Amos, but it's good to see that Mr. Underwood has some serious jets.

 

[CleveBucks]

Well, they are a lot more desperate for corners than we are. Wouldn't surprise me if they took more than one corner from Ohio that we're not after.

Ohio Prep Scene- (Premium link) ranks Amos as No. 2 receiver in Ohio

1) Manningham, 2) Amos, 3)Orton, 4) Hartline, 5)Sharps and Morton-Green

Duane at Ohio High's order
1) MM (7 overall), 2) Hartline (11 overall) (although I guess tOSU is looking at him for safety), 3) Robiske (21 overall), 4) Stross (24 overall), 5) Orton (29 overall), 6) Chambers (34 overall- tOSU in his top 2 and has offer from MSU), 7) Sharps (48 overall), 8) Gilmore (69 overall), 90 R. Quinn (74 overall- could be moving up in the next rankings)

No Amos as WR or DB- he is not listed on Ohio High's top 100- he is not even listed in the "Best of the Rest" where you will find EJ Morton- Green

amos

OSU was in middletown today and they offered him. :osu:

 

[wdg01]

Hmm interesting news if true. Lemming has him as a 4 star i think.

Thanks for the feedback- Can you give us any additional info on Andre or compare him to another player we might recognize?

It sounds like he favors scUM and Miami OH (his ex-teammate goes there??). Do you know if tOSU is in the mix?

Thanks and welcome to the board!

 

[middieboy513]

thanks

I havent talked to him since then but um, miami oh, purdue he is high on but OSU has probably made his way close to the top. Lets seee if the bucks let this one slip away

 

[CleveBucks]

Offered I assume as a WR? I can't see him being offered as a corner.

 

[middieboy513]

there loaded at corner

According to Amos in the latest Insiders update Ohio State and Purdue are looking at him as both a CB and WR and have said he can decide which he prefers. He lists Purdue, scUM and Ohio State as his top 3. No word on what scUM has said in regards to where they want him to play. My guess would be whatever he wants to hear

if this offer is true (kurelic true not sucknuts true) then it is suprising. i have never seen amos play so nothing against his ability at all, but this is out of left field at a position of serious depth for us. seems like we could afford to wait and be patient.

if the offer is true he must be one hell of a player.

Should have posted the link. The info is from a Duane Long article and Amos states he's been offered by Ohio State, FWIW.

 

[BIATCHabutuka]

thanks nutty. you and 86 always have the info i need to fix my buckeye addiction.

p.s. man i was looking at that pic of amos a little closer and damn does he have some big hands and thin forearms.

 

[sgabuck]

That picture isn't even of Andre Amos. Maybe the guy tackling him is, but not the ball carrier. Middletown's color is purple.
