Welcome to LB U Andrew!

 

[Moose]

Congrates to Andrew!! Welcome to the Buckeye nation!
I gotta point something out here, that's has really got my attention.
Jim Tressel has absolutely gone after a certain quality of player that is top
notch. This kid is humble, athletic, personable, smart, and a team player! I can't say enough about what is being done to the football program. Incredible. Again, Welcome aboard Mr. Sweat. Your gonna leave your mark, I'm sure.

that's odd. he's wearing an ohio state basketball uniform... but it's blue.

Nevermind the shorts though. Proof once again that clothing selection doesn't mean didley when deciding where these kids are going to spend the next 3-5 years of their lives.

What makes you think it's an Ohio St. basketball uni?

More of the same...Andrew says he is also being considered at SS.

 

[Napoleonbuck]

That would be one hell of a hard hitting safety.
I wouldn't mind that though, having some linebackers in at safety in running situations. If he's capable, then WOW.

Top WPIAL football recruit will play at Ohio State

Andrew Sweat, one of the most heavily recruited high school football players in the WPIAL, will play in college at Ohio State.
Sweat, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound junior linebacker at Trinity High School in Washington, announced tonight that he had made a verbal commitment to Ohio State. He still has one season left at Trinity and can't sign a binding letter of intent with the Buckeyes until February of his senior year.
Sweat had scholarship offers from colleges across the country but had recently narrowed his choices to Ohio State and Notre Dame. Before that, he also had Pitt, Penn State and Michigan on his final list.

"I really wasn't sure about Ohio State until about two days ago," Sweat said. "They had been my favorite, but I really liked Notre Dame. Then I sat down with my parents and discussed everything, and came away deciding Ohio State was the place for me.

"I just think Ohio State has the best people. They have great facilities and everything, but they had the best people -- from coaches to players."
