RB MARCUS WILLIAMS

It's fair to say that Marcus Williams is not your typical Ohio State football player. He was a walk-on for three years until recently earning a scholarship. He graduated in March, making him one of six players with their degree. And he has been a married man for 15 months. That makes the senior running back an interesting subject:

QHow much of a relief was the scholarship? Did you have to take out loans to pay your way before?

AI've actually been pretty blessed with the fact I had a full academic scholarship for my undergrad. So I've been debt-free so far, and I plan to stay that way.

QWow, a full scholarship. What was your high school grade-point average?

AIt was like a 3.96, or something right around there.

QYou just started classes for physical therapy. How tough of a time are you in for this year?

AIt's pretty rigorous. I got my feet wet in the summer. It was tough, it was a big step up from my undergrad. I spent a lot of time studying. But this quarter supposedly is even a lot tougher, so it's going to be interesting to see how these first few weeks go.
