'Oregon, Virginia Tech, Washington State, USC, Boise St, Colorado St, Arizona St and Arizona, were some of the ones I can think of off the top of my head. The main reason I decided to come to Ohio State was that they give you a chance to play for the National Championship every year.'
Which coaches were most involved in your recruitment?
'Coach Fickell and Coach Beckman were the two main coaches who recruited me.'
How many all-star games were you able to play in and was the experience something special?

How has the Fall Camp been for you and have there been any events that have surprised you?
'Fall camp has been very high paced so far, it definitely takes a little getting used to in the beginning but the more time I spend here the more I become to it. I would have to say hoot and hollar was definitely an eye opening experience that the intensity of college is something else.'
How has the level of competition compared to what you anticipated when you selected Ohio State?
'About what I expected I mean this is the best football school in the nation, and every player that comes here had better strap it up for every practice or you?ll find yourself playing catch up pretty fast.'
