Brewster says he's returning for senior year
By TIM MAY
Junior center Michael Brewster said today he will return for his senior season at Ohio State.
?I want to be a leader on this team in the 2011 season, and I think I?m ready for that,? Brewster said.
Leadership for the 2011 Buckeyes is in a state of flux at the moment, with five junior stalwarts ? quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Dan Herron, receiver DeVier Posey, left tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas ? facing a five-game suspension to start the season, though OSU is in the process of appealing those suspensions.
Personal improvement is also one of Brewster?s goals, even if he was named first team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America this season.
?This was really my first season understanding how to play center,? said Brewster, a third-year starter who was a high school All-American tackle in Orlando, Fla. ?I made a lot of progress, and I think I can make that much more progress with another year at Ohio State.
?Then I think I will be really ready for the NFL. I think it will make me that much more confident about making the step to the next level.?
