Ex-Ohio State running back Martin appears headed for Ashland

ASHLAND -- As Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel was finishing his address during a May banquet at Ashland University, he offered to help the school whenever possible.

"Wait," he quipped, "didn't I just send you one of our players?"

Everyone laughed.

Rocco Pentello, a backup safety for the Buckeyes, transferred to Ashland in February and currently is working with the Eagles as the No. 2 quarterback and member of the receiving corps.

Apparently, the pipeline from Columbus to Ashland isn't ending there.

Pending completion of a summer school class at Ohio State, running back Jermil Martin could be the latest ex-Buckeye to sign on with the Eagles.

Tressel announced earlier this month that Martin was transferring. There were reports he was headed to Youngstown State.

Ashland got to him first.

"Coach Tressel told him that he really needs to stop in Ashland," said AU coach Lee Owens, a one-time OSU assistant. "He stopped on the way to Youngstown and fell in love with the place."
