awesome news! Welcome to :osu: .....glad to have you here! We're stacked for the next 5 years! With recruits like Simon and Whiting already in the bag, we're looking at another awesome class. I am happy that we're doing well keeping most of the top talent in Ohio!

Just don't find all the previous posts I was wrong on :biggrin: Awesome news and I agree...the #1 guy is in early, much like Brewster in '08 imo. Top 5 DL in the country next year and 5 star player in my book hands down. Rivals has him low early but with combines I expect him to jump in the 10-15 range. Great start to '09! :osu:

I went back and watched some video of him and had to keep reminding myself that most of it was as a sophomore! :yow1:

He totally "Will Smiths" his high school competition. He's going to look fantastic in Scarlet and Gray.

Welcome aboard John.

:io: Proud Buckeye, you've been hanging for awhile, congrats again John. Not sure this is the place mods, but I know this class is beginning to be called the "Storm troopers" (Klein I get it) do you think any of our early commits are such extroverts to be anywhere close to Brewster in reaching out to others?

:yow1: to those numbers Grad. those numbers are just mind boggling. Is there a list of Juniors going to the AA combine? And do the other, newer, all-star games have combines as well? I checked out a couple of the Army AA sites and did not find a list of combine entrants/participants.

Can you say monster? What kind of weight does he project to play at in college? 265 seems more like d-end size to me.
