Wow, very touching
There's a lot of love in that family. AH was brought up properly. I'm confident JT will take care of him like he's family.

But I didn't, so it doesn't
4, 6, and 9 are the only numbers 1-19 that don't aren't worn by someone on scholarship. IIRC, Small and Gibson are taking 4 and 9, so I think Henton will take 6.
There is the possibility that he shares a number with another scholarship player (2-Jenkins and Haw, 5-D'Andrea and Dukes, 20-Pettrey and Washington, 50-Datish and Gholston), but that is a rare occurrence.

He definetly is in Columbus. I saw him working out outside the Woody Hayes center chasing down some tennis balls the coaches were throwing. He was clowning with MoWells.

What a great Mom. Antonio has a bright future because he has an incredible foundation, i.e. faith and famiy to build upon. I look forward to his time at tOSU.

Can you stand one more doting article?
What a great article. I wanted to add a little more to it – from another female’s point of view. I hope you can stand a little more:

Antonio is not much of a talker, so don’t expect him to start up a conversation if he doesn’t know you. He keeps to himself. I first noticed during his basketball games, if the team was sitting in one area, he’d be easy to spot because he was the one sitting by himself a few rows down, or a few aisles over. I learned he sat on the bus going to football games alone. Perhaps he is getting in game mode? I don’t know, but I do know that when you are around Antonio, you can feel his strength and self-confidence. It must be the same aura his fellow Trojans felt from him that led them to the state championship. It’s just who he is. He’s calm, he’s cool. He is NOT cocky. It is not his nature to be a show-off or loud mouth – his athletic ability speaks for itself. Even at the stadium, after Peach Co won state and we were all celebrating, Antonio was standing over to the side. I was afraid to approach him – his silence was intimidating. I finally got up the nerve and walked up to him, gave him a congratulatory hug and told him good luck at Ohio State. He smiled and said thanks. Again, not a talker. But on the occasion that you do get to speak to him, his attention will be focused on you solely and he will respond with a smile. My family and I finally established a friendship with Antonio, and as I am sure you are tired of hearing by now, we all feel he is a very special young man.

One thing always sticks out to me when thinking of Antonio. It was senior night during basketball season. Peach County has a “team manager”, so to speak, that provides the players with their water, and he is mentally challenged. As they introduced the senior players, most of whom were escorted by their parents, Antonio took the stage, with his mother on one arm, and the “team manager” on the other arm. He had this guy stand with him the entire time the other players were being honored. It was really touching. That’s just the kind of guy he is.
