Josh Kerr is an OL from Strongsville who's the brother of John Kerr, the LB that transferred from Indiana. He was originally going to grayshirt at Miami.

If anyone can verify, I was always under the impression that admission requirements at Ohio State (and most other schools) are less rigorous for an in-state kid than they would be for an out-of-stater.

If he couldn't pass admissions at scUM south, how will he do so at tOSU?

Mililani's right. Aside from football, and I would guess that a grayshirt player doesn't get the same "consideration" that I think scholarship players get at "The U", Miami's got pretty solid admission standards.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but somehow I suspect that private school or no...and even "good" school or no....Miami is going to find a way to take a major FB prospect no matter what it takes...as long as the prospect meets minimum NCAA standards.
Frankly, I think this is true of virtually all of these major private schools that seriously want to have an impact Div.1 program. And, of course, the "private" schools often have a great deal more flexibility than many of the more rigid public funded schools. I'm beginning to sense that tOSU is evolving into one of these latter schools. Which is fine for academics but maybe less fine for sports.
And probably that is the way it should be, even if I drive a stake through my tongue when I say it. :)
Go Bucks!

Kerr's other offers were WV and Cincy so the Miami offer was always something of a surprise. It is possible that Miami had second thoughts and no longer had an incentive to get him qualified. It happens.
