  • Ballard, Kaleb Brown and Zak Herbstreit also both made deep-ball catches during Thursday’s practice. Brown’s catch during the “young guys” portion of practice led to plenty of excitement from the veteran wide receivers as they watched the final periods of practice while doing their own post-practice stretching. Herbstreit, a walk-on tight end, got wide open on one of the final plays of practice and made a diving grab.

Congratulations to Zak. I know his dad isn't exactly the most popular guy on this site, but I would love to see Zak perhaps follow in Mitch Rossi's footsteps.

I was happy to see him come on board and then lose his black stripe. Will echo not saying anything negative about his father, but Zak coming to OSU as a preferred walk on should speak to Kirk's feelings about OSU pretty well. Hoping he can be a contributor, as someone above said like Rossi.
