Three players who are not on the roster are receiver Devin Jordan, defensive backs Brandon Underwood and Sirjo Welch, a Beechcroft graduate.


Jordan will get a medical waiver and not return to the team. A fourth-year junior from Massillon, he sat out the 2004 and 2005 seasons after suffering a broken bone in his lower leg in August 2004.
A school spokesman said the status of Underwood and Welch is pending.

Their futures might not be known until OSU’s summer session ends the week of Aug. 21.

Academics keep Underwood off OSU roster
By Doug Harris

Staff Writer

COLUMBUS | Third-year sophomore cornerback Brandon Underwood has been left off Ohio State's roster as it begins fall camp today because of his academic problems.

The Hamilton native needs to complete a summer course before he can be reinstated, coach Jim Tressel said. The summer quarter doesn't end until Aug. 21.

"We can't have a guy going to class when everyone else is practicing," Tressel said. "I can't do it."

Underwood was ranked as the 16th-best cornerback in the nation as a high school senior by Rivals.com and appeared poised for a promising career, but he made just three tackles as a red-shirt freshman last season, sitting out most of the year with a shoulder injury.

Older brother E.J. Underwood also encountered off-field issues and transferred to Pikeville (Ky.) College. A one-time starting DB for the Buckeyes, he signed a free-agent contract with the New York Giants this year.

According to JT in his Tuesday press conference today, Brandon was one of the scout team players of the week for his role of simulating Derrick Williams in preparation for PSU. It did not sound as though Underwood will be seeing an expanded role with the team outside of scout team work at this time.

While JT did mention Brandon's performance on the Scout team this week, he referred to Albert Dukes as the Scout offensive player of the week for simulating Derek Williams.
