Met him this morning. Real nice guy!! He could still strap it up because he is in great shape. I'm 6'3" but he is easily 1.5 " taller than me but solid muscle. I asked him if he was a former OSU linebacker and he said yes. I said no more out of respect for his privacy.

He is a real nice guy. He lived on my floor in Lincoln his frosh year. I was floor president and he eneded up getting involved in the student gov't duirng the off season. I don't know how he had the time, but he did it.
