LB Larry Grant (Official Thread)

[ol104]

Great addition to this class. Some have voiced thier concerns over Grants technique, but he has 3 years to play 2 so if the cooaches cant get it ironed out this off-season, Grant has the option to RS, but i am sure being a JC, he wants to play right away...Welcome aboard the Tressel Train Grant!!

Welcome aboard.

It will be nice to get to see him in the Spring and see just how good he is.

Wow, the Oregon coaching staff really wanted this guy. This is reaffirming that the Big Ten football is still the place to be for exposure. Larry mentioned that he wanted to be the topic about who is replacing AJ.

I tihnk this gives next years defense a nice kick in the shorts to get 'em started :)

A JUCO like this will get all of our LBs motivated

The competition for the starting spots has definately just been kicked up a notch (or two).

Congratulations and welcome to the Buckeye Nation.

Welcome Larry!

I really, really like this class. As has been stated in the past- this class is exactly what was needed as far as reloading. Well done staff!

 

[jwinslow]

Welcome Larry! Glad to have you on board!

 

[jimotis4heisman]

just reading a lot of info on him, he has blocked 6 punts both of his years as a juco...

Great news! I just got the BN e-mail. It's nice to click on the link and see that a 5-Star recruit is on his way. Welcome to the family, and welcome to Linebacker-U!

The things I like about Grant, other than his speed and talent, is the maturity and leadership he could bring to the Defense. He seems to have his head on his shoulders, and wants to follow in the footsteps of Hawk and Carp. Big shoes to fill, for sure.

I think the competetion at ALL the LB's spots this Spring is going to be intense and we are going to see or hear of these guys flying around the ball and fighting for a starting spot. It's going to be exciting to see which cream of players rises to the top.

Welcome to the Buckeye Nation, Larry!

:osu:

I know nary a situation where competition fails to breed better quality all-around. This abundance of linebacker gold is a very good thing for the Buckeyes!

Welcome aboard, and great choice Larry.

geez Mili, took you long enough to update the database... what, 2 seconds. Looks like a great class coming in. Thought we'd do a little better in the db/s department with all the depatures, but Tress will make it work.

I expect Freeman and Grant to start, but there will be some competition for these positions. Great addition. This class has been refreshing to say the least.

I can't wait till the spring game.
