OL Chase Farris (Official Thread)

He has a very similar frame to D'Brickashaw Ferguson at the same age. Not trying to make any comparisons here but he obviously has the frame and athleticism to play a lot of different positions. And with the number of SSDE/DT prospects in '11 & '12 classes and lack of OT (at least for '11) I could very well see him making the move over to the offensive side.

Great comparison. I can see the debate...well rounded defender who stops the run and can get to the QB. Also a freak athlete with a great frame and length for LT. Personally, I like trying him at LT. He's 265 and can carry 300-315 down the road. I see him as too tall for DT (plus we have Hale and Bennett, plus Brown or Underwood can play there), with a possibility of outgrowing the DE position. Plus, as it has been mentioned, there is no LT in this class, and I think Norwell is better suited at RT. We are likely going to need someone at LT before the '12 class.

Jones lead West to win in O-D Bowl

DEFENSIVE STARS
West defensive end Chase Farris and outside linebacker Kent Turene were every bit as good as advertised. Simply put, the East had no answers for them. On one play, Turene recorded an 18-yard sack. On the next, Farris brought the quarterback down.

Elyria?s Chase Farris is shown being interviewed at a luncheon in Columbus. Farris, an Ohio State commit, will play in the Ohio North-South game in April. SPECIAL TO THE MORNING JOURNAL

COLUMBUS ? There?s a reason Chase Farris has been sporting an ear-to-ear smile all week ? and it has nothing to do with getting two days of school off this week because of a brutal ice storm.

Not only did the standout defensive end from Elyria sign a national letter of intent on Wednesday to play football at Ohio State, but he also spent Thursday being introduced at a luncheon in Columbus as a member of the North Team that will play in the Ohio North-South all-star game in April.

Farris is set to enroll for summer quarter classes in June. But first he will get to play one last high school football game against Ohio?s best seniors on April 22 in Ohio Stadium.

Which is where Farris will play his home games the next four years.

?To be chosen for this game is an amazing feeling,? Farris said on Thursday at the Columbus Hilton at Easton Place prior to the luncheon. ?It?s a true honor.?

The 6-foot-6, 265-pounder got the true all-star treatment at the luncheon. Almost as soon as he entered the lobby, he was swarmed by a large group of media members who cover Ohio State, wanting to talk to him and other members of the Buckeyes? recruiting class, each of whom signed their letters of intent on Wednesday.

?When I got the phone call (telling him he was selected to play in the game), I had my dad stop the car and everything,? Farris said. ?I was down visiting with him in North Carolina and he was in the car with me. I told him, ?I just got picked for the North-South game and I think I really want to play in it.??

Elyria's Chase Farris makes OSU signing official

ELYRIA ? He may have officially committed to play football at The Ohio State University on Thursday, but for Elyria senior Chase Farris, signing his letter of intent at his school meant a little more to him.

Friday, at the school?s auditorium in front of faculty and teammates, Farris sat next to his mother Dina and finally got to enjoy his signing day.

Farris was originally supposed to sign on Wednesday, but Elyria had to postponed school on Tuesday and Wednesday due to treacherous winter weather.

Despite the delay, Farris said was happy to share the moment with his family and friends.

?It kind of crushed me that we didn?t have school on Wednesday and we couldn?t get it out of the way then, but the way it happened ? I wouldn?t take it back for anything,? Farris said.

During the assembly, Elyria Athletic Director Jerry Chizmar and former Elyria football coach Steve Hamilton took turns acknowledging Farris? accomplishments on and off the field.

After Farris signed his letter he grabbed an Ohio State cap and put it on with a big smile on his face.

?It?s been a long time coming,? Farris said. ?Just to sign on the dotted line was a wonderful feeling.?

Farris? mother, Dina, said she was glad her son got to have his moment in the spotlight.

?Today has been a good day,? Dina said. ?We finally got a day where we could all come together. I?m just blessed and very humble and I?m grateful for the community and all of our supporters.?

Like any mother would be, Dina was brimming with pride.

?It just goes to show if you do what you?re supposed to do and give respect and listen to your coaches and teacher, then you can go far.?
