Ohio State Buckeyes' Jim Cordle to miss 3-4 weeks with ankle injury - ESPN
Coach Jim Tressel disclosed the injury on Thursday. He said Cordle, a fifth-year senior who has started the past three seasons, had complained of pain in his ankle and it got steadily worse. Tests on Wednesday showed the severity of the injury.

Tressel was unsure if Cordle was injured in the Buckeyes' 18-15 loss to No. 3 Southern California on Saturday night.

In his place in Saturday's game against Toledo, the Buckeyes most likely would play J.B. Shugarts.

The offensive line exceeded expectations last week so seeing any member of the unit go down really stinks. We have guys who can step in but continuity in the line as a unit will likely suffer, at least for a bit.

Hope Cordle can get back soon.

Congrats to Jim on being named a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy. This trophy, nicknamed the 'Academic Heisman', was formerly known as the Draddy Trophy, and was previously won by Craig Krenzel and Bobby Hoying.

Jim Cordle a Semifinalist for the 20th Anniversary William V. Campbell Trophy

Cordle among 154 student-athletes vying for college football's premier scholar-athlete award

DALLAS, October 1, 2009 - Selected as the best and brightest from the college gridiron, The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) announced today the 154 semifinalists for the 2009 William V. Campbell Trophy (formerly known as the Draddy Trophy), endowed by HealthSouth, and the candidates for the 2009 NFF National Scholar- Athlete Awards.

"On the heels of our recent announcement to rename our top scholar-athlete award in honor of Bill Campbell, we are incredibly proud to select the next winner from this remarkable group of semifinalists," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning whose sons Peyton (1997 Campbell Trophy winner) and Eli were named NFF National Scholar-Athletes in 1997 and 2003, respectively. "As one of the nation's most influential business leaders, Bill Campbell is a powerful example of football's unique ability to build leadership qualities in our young people. The semifinalists for the Campbell Trophy have already built track records that place them squarely in his footsteps."

Nominated by their schools, which are limited to one nominee each, semifinalists must be a senior or graduate student in their final year of eligibility, have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant contributor, and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. Renamed this fall in honor of Bill Campbell, the chairman of Intuit, former player and head coach at Columbia University and the 2004 recipient of the NFF's Gold Medal, the award comes with a 25-pound bronze trophy and a $25,000 post- graduate scholarship.

"The Campbell Trophy semifinalists represent everything great about college football, having achieved excellence in all aspect of their lives," said NFF President & CEO Steven J. Hatchell. "It is the NFF's duty to promote their accomplishments while encouraging future generations of gridiron standouts to aim high on and off the football field."

The NFF Awards Committee will select and announce up to 15 finalists on Oct. 29. Each finalist will be recognized as part of the 2009 NFF National Scholar- Athlete Class, receiving an $18,000 post-graduate scholarship. The Campbell Trophy winner, who will have his scholarship increased to $25,000, will be announced live at the NFF's Annual Awards Dinner on December 8 at the prestigious Waldorf=Astoria in New York City. A total distribution of $277,000 in scholarships will be awarded that evening.

Launched in 1959, the NFF scholar-athlete program became the first initiative in history to award post- graduate scholarships based on both a player's academic and athletic accomplishments. The William V. Campbell Trophy, first awarded in 1990, adds to the program's mystique, having previously honored two Rhodes Scholars, a Rhodes Scholar finalist and a Heisman winner. The University of California's Alex Mack, a first-round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns, was named the 2008 Campbell Trophy recipient.

Cordle, Miller likely to return this week

In his Big Ten conference call just completed, Jim Tressel said he expects to have center Jim Cordle and left tackle Andrew Miller back for Saturday's game at Purdue.

He said Cordle was "questionable, leaning more to the probably side" in his return from an ankle injury sustained in the USC game.

Miller has missed the last two weeks because of the flu.

Tressel said both are expected to practice today.

"That will certainly help up front," Tressel said.

Asked about their young replacements' performance, Tressel said, "They had their moments when you can see they?re going to be good players."

College Football: Lineman returns to action
By JON SPENCER ? News Journal ? October 25, 2009

COLUMBUS -- Not that he wishes ill-will on Jake Ballard, but Ohio State offensive lineman Jim Cordle wouldn't be surprised if he's practicing at tight end this coming week.

Cordle, a senior from Lancaster, started Saturday's 38-7 win over Minnesota at left tackle. He opened the season at right tackle, but was making his first start in six weeks after spraining his ankle in the 18-15 loss to USC.

Cordle has now played every position on the OL in his college career except right guard ... and, of course, tight end.

"Next week, BB and I made a deal," he joked, referring to right guard Bryant Browning. "On the first play, we're going to switch."

Cordle was pressed into duty on the left side because of an ankle injury to Mike Adams. Cordle shared time with Andrew Miller, who was the starter there when the season began only to get hit hard the last few weeks by the flu.

"It feels good to be battered and bruised again," Cordle said. "It's the fourth position I've started at here, which is pretty unique.

"I had a great week of practice, but didn't find out until Friday that I could play. Actually, I practiced most of the week at center because (Mike) Brewster has been banged up."

Cordle made numerous outstanding blocks yesterday... a couple times he took out two guys with the same block... He took the DE and DT and dumped both onto Brewster's back... classic road grading...
