DB Marcus Hooker (transfer to Youngstown St.)

Well, this got interesting. Very excited to see what Marcus can do...his big bro clicked early on and I am hoping Marcus can do the same. Really need the help at safety.

Re: According to the video, Hooker will make his debut start on the kickoff team on Saturday.

Well that’s where it starts. Guy might just get a crack if some don’t increase quality of performance.

Did Hooker get in the game today? Thought I heard he did.

Called for taunting and then Day let him know about it on the sideline. Cant be undisciplined

 

[ShowMeBuck]

I’d hate to be this dude today.

Gotta feeling Day will absolutely rail on him. I believe Days talk of being “loving and player friendly” but I bet that shit ends quickly when dealing with undisciplined non sense like Hooker showed.

Hooker better watch it by the way, he doesn’t have a squeeky record.

 

[MaxBuck]

I think Marcus will be the test case that shows whether Day has the patience of Tressel and Meyer.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

The penalty was dumb....but it seems like a lot of overreaction.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Yeah. He Heard about it after it happened. There’s no reason to continue dressing the kid down over it. Move forward.

 

[scarletngray]

Perhaps Marcus should actually show he can make a play on the field then he wouldn't need to talk. I would sit him against NW just to get the message across.

 

[brodybuck21]

Def flashed a couple times....need some of the secondary depth to step up

 

[Taosman]

This is a big spring for him to show Coombs he'll be in the rotation. It's "sink or swim" time.

DB Marcus Hooker
Ohio State would certainly prefer to have a healthy Josh Proctor out there to put his stamp on the secondary now that he’s expected to be the guy at safety. But while the junior is limited to mental reps in the spring, Marcus Hooker has a huge opportunity to show what he can do in the backend — and he appears to have taken a big jump physically thanks to the offseason weight program. It’s still unfair to expect him to blossom into the same kind of game-changer that his older brother was a few years ago for the Buckeyes, and there are clearly differences between their games. Don’t write off Hooker as a factor for Ohio State, though, because he’s off to a solid start already this spring.
