When you have a 4.47 speed and know how to play LB.. I don't think 2-3 inches matter much.

I'd say it has worked out okay for guys like Buster Davis, Ernie Sims, London Fletcher, Jamie Winborn, Gary Brackett, Zach Thomas and Dexter Coakley. Not one of them is over six feet tall. Brian looks like the same kind of tackling machine as those types of guys...undersized but absolute demons in pursuit.

His video scarily enough reminds me a lot of Ross Homan's highlights from his jr/sr years of high school. Rolle has a serious nose for the ball.

Great pick up! Welcome to the Buckeye family and the REAL Linebacker U, Brian!!

ya, I'm seeing the Buster Davis comparison thrown around quite a bit, but the poster who said Ernie Sims is dead on...Although Buster is short like Rolle, Buster carries a lot of weight on his frame...so much weight he's consistently been asked to lose weight while at FSU....I don't think that will be an issue with Brian....I like the Ernie Sims comparison though, smaller LB with terrific speed, and comes with absolute bad intentions......Ernie concussed himself just about every game, so maybe Brian plays a little smarter at OSU, but if he gives us the production of Ernie Sims I'd be elated
