Who the **** is Clive Owen, and what makes him think I want to see his chest hair?

MT's Williams signs with OSU
Panther coach says linebacker may be outgrowing his current position

"Coach (Jim) Heacock told me Saturday he was coming down to my track meet," Williams said. "He texted me (Monday) telling me he was going to come down. ...

"He talked with Art Schlichter. Art came down to see me a couple of weeks ago. He came and spoke with coach Heacock. He said, 'you better take this guy while you can.'

"So when I went up stairs to get ready for bed, I was kind of disappointed that nothing happened. I turned off my phone and then turned it back on and the next thing I knew, I had three or four text messages from coach Tressel and coach Heacock and a couple of my buddies. So I looked at the Tressel one, and it said, 'Nate, coach Heacock had a great day at your school. It sounds like you're doing great. We have a scholarship for you. What would you think about becoming a Buckeye?'

"I told him it would be a great honor. I've always wanted to be a Buckeye and it would be a tremendous honor to play for him."

Williams said Tressel sent him separate messages back saying, "Wow!!!!!!", "congrats" and "I'll be in to see you in May. Welcome to the family."

"Ever since I was a little boy I dreamed of going to Ohio State. I didn't get to watch many Ohio State games when I lived in California. Whenever they were on, I would put my Ohio State hat on and be glued to the TV screen.

"My feet haven't quite hit the ground yet. I can't begin to explain the type of feeling I have right now. It's unbelievable."

Darn it Mili you kind of stole my thunder.

I was going to say "Heacock told Schlichter...'you bet I will!'"

I'm pretty sure anybody who is 6'5 240ish lbs and is one of the best 100 meter dash sprinters on his highschool track team qualifies as a freak.

You can tell the type of athlete he is from watching his highlight reels. Extreeeeemely underrated prospect.

Do they give him two lanes instead of one?
