RB Warren Ball (transfer to Akron)

[MaxBuck]

Yeah. If it means that flexibility requires they graduate in time, get their degree and take advantage of the grad transfer rule.... I'd say urban is keeping up his end of the deal.

No argument from me. A 4-year scholarship doesn't imply there will be a fifth available, though, regardless of graduation status. The student has an obligation also.

Glad he will get the chance to carry the ball in front of his family and friends.

I think Ball's biggest problem at tOSU was he never really recovered from the PSU game when he moved down the depth chart behind Bell who had some solid runs that game.

Either way, I hope Ball has a great year next year.

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

He will be a workhorse.. time to stand out

two fullbacks named Brandon.

There was just one guy, Joe Schnittker...get it right.

Ball has the talent to tear up the MAC and work his way into being a lower round draft pick. He has always had a good balance of size and speed. Just too much talent at OSU during his time here

 

[JCOSU86]

Always a little disappointing to see a CCL guy transfer from OSU, but I hope he makes the most of his opportunity at Akron.

Officially an Akron student-athlete now, sharing #34 with Jamal Marcus. Athlon has him as 3rd Team All-MAC.

18 carries for 110 yards and a TD for the Zips

FORMER OSU RUNNING BACK WARREN BALL SUFFERS KNEE INJURY, ENDING COLLEGE CAREER

Through the first four games this fall for the Zips, Ball accumulated 75 carries for 332 yards and four touchdowns, leading the team in rushing.



Because this is his sixth year of eligibility after a redshirt season at Ohio State and a medical hardship last fall, Ball's college career is effectively over.

Seemed like an incredible kid. Pretty sure he has a bright future without football.

This doesn't surprise me. Warren always seemed like such a great/bright kid.
