Damn our backfield is going to be stacked next year. Boom, Saine, Hall, Martin, Berry, Hyde, and Smith.

Biggest log in the jam.

An embarrassment of riches.

Nice problem to have if you ask me. After this season of injuries, the more the better!

I can't wait to see this kid play!! Good job on working hard this year and getting your grades good enough to get into osu!!

So would he begin next season as a true or a redshirt freshman? I have been assuming the former.

True frosh. Military schools don't count towards the 5-to play-4 clock, as opposed to JUCOs or CCs.

Great news, what a nice problem to have, too many quality RB's It's nice he's going to be here for the spring, he'll have more time to learn the offense and blocking schemes.

I do realize that Carlos was recruited as an RB, but I have a sneaking suspicion (just my opinion....no data to back it up) that he will be competing with Zach Boren and Adam Homan for the FB spot. I see that as being the fastest way for him to see the field. I think that he would add a new dimension to that position and our offense with us actually giving the FB some carries especially in short yardage situations.
