no having a rivals account, I am assuming that this means he will be moving down to DT?

Not a lot of people talking about Doug this preseason. I'm guessing no one will be able to stop talking about him in a month or so. His size is fantastic and his speed and strength should be dominating. Add in the young guys next to him like Larrimore, Abdallah and Denlinger and our LB'ers should be free to annihilate anyone and everyone.

Nader isn't young, but I agree when you say Doug should be a monster in the trenches.

I think I've said this in a bunch of threads, but this defense is looking like it will be NASTY. Pitcock and Patterson were great for the Buckeyes, but Worthington, Larrimore and Denlinger are going to be great replacements. Assuming he can stay low, moving Doug's size inside should be great for our line.

Does anyone know the sacks record for a DT? I have a feeling Doug might be flirting with it before he leaves here.

he's gotta be the tallest DT that I can remember at 6'7" also probably the thinnest.
when you see photos of him, it definitely doesn't scream DT. 274 is light for a DT and especially when stretched over a 6'7" frame as opposed to like 6'2"
Should be quite a mismatch for an OL in passing situations, his speed will be deadly....hopefully he can hold up against the run.

I hope all the optimism is warranted, but am curious. Just which of his three tackles last season got everyone so excited?
Tressel's quote from January - "He's gotten so big and we're looking for places to try to give him an opportunity," is a long way from - "this is the kid who will break the school record for tackles".
I love his size and he certainly came highly regard from HS - but IMO he still has everything to prove.
And before anybody jumps my case about being negative - remember last year when everyone was so excited about Laurinaitis because he got the late season start as a Frosh? I was the one who said temper your enthusiasm because he hadn't really proven anything either.
Here's hoping I continue my streak.

The Jaguars' stud DT, Marcus Stroud, is 6'6"... but also 322.
Not really the most positive comparison.Buckeye86;898754; said:
