A Good chance to Show What I Can Do
Walk-on Defensive End Brett Daly from Elyria discusses his position coach, Coach Heacock, his off season routine, and where he will fit in this coming year.
By Steve Patterson
What has been your most memorable moment as a Buckeye?
"So far I would have to say my most memorable moment as a buckeye was the fiesta bowl this year. The atmosphere was amazing and we were treated like royalty in Tempe."
Has it always been a dream of yours to play at Ohio State? How has the level of competition compared to what you anticipated when you selected Ohio State for college?
"Growing up in Ohio I think it’s the dream of every kid who plays football in this state. I know the competition would be really tough but what surprised me most was the athletic ability of some of the guys on the team. Some of these guys just have incredible abilities."
What do you think of Coach Tressel and his performance with the program?
"Coach Tressel is a great coach and always has us prepared to play. His performance is directly related to his dedication to his players and the team."
Coach Heacock is your position coach, has his knowledge improved your overall skill level?
"When I came here I had never played defensive end before and Coach Heacock has done a great job teaching me and improving my skills. He really knows his job well and is good at passing his knowledge on to us."
What is your off-season routine to prepare for the coming year?
"My off season routine will be lifting and conditioning 4-5 times a week and working hard on increasing my size and strength and gaining speed."
Have the coaches provided insight into your role with the team this coming year?
"They have told me I have improved a lot over the last year and now that I have gained some weight and strength I have a good opportunity to show what I can do in the spring."
The offense looks ready for a repeat performance in 2006; do you see the team having a similar finish and national ranking?
"I believe as long as we keep focused and start as strong as we finished last year there is no reason why we can't finish better then last year."
