Fun to watch he is fast and it looks like he is trying to kill someone every play

 

[buchtelgrad04]

I'm willing to bet he has a million tackles by the time he leaves.

Not really, but you all get the idea....this dude lives near the football.

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

Rapidly becoming my favorite... Heat seeking missile

Unless there are four defensive players with #10.. this kid seems to be in on every tackle (or within a few feet of it) that he's on the field..

I believe a key reason for the significant improvement on special teams is his addition...

 

[HeightsBuck]

Kid looks like he's gonna be a force in the yrs to come

I said the same thing to my buddy while watching the game. He is gonna be a good one. Love the "rip your head off" attitude.

Such a force already, without the size or knowledge to handle it all. Once he develops a bit, he is going to be a terror.

He needs to rotate series with somebody... We need his speed at the LB position to track down the sweeps and stretch plays. Love how this kid plays...

Agreed. He provides an extra step and can flat out hit. Wildly impressive for a true frosh.

Stud.

This freshman class is special.

 

[Smooth Olaf]

I'd love to see him starting next to Sabino.

I'm going to offer the opinion that he needs no more size - he's just fine at his current weight.

We'll see against Wisconsin. I have no doubt he'll do well, but I think another 10-15 lbs wouldn't hurt.

He got his series yesterday in the second quarter and it was the only possession all day where Colorado moved the football effectively and the freshman were rotated out once the ball was inside the redzone.

I love the kid on special teams right now and think he will development into one hell of a Buckeye but let's not throw him into a starter role just yet. Sweat, Klein and Bino are holding up just fine at LB ... Where I would like to see him is on the 3rd and medium to long passing situations to give us a speed pass rush off the end. With out Nathan Williams this is a definite weak point for the defense right now and we will need it against Kirk Cousins this week.

I'm not so sure Sweat, Klein and Bino will have an answer for the speed of Martinez and Wilson. Did Bino even play Saturday? (Rhetorical question)
