WR Verlon Reed (transfer to Findlay)

[craigblitz]

Had some good catches, but the ones he caught the defense missed an assignment (looks like, have no idea the call) or too much space was given. Looks the part for sure and will be fun to see him develop.

Reed?s Drop Cut Deep
By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? With Ohio State trailing Miami 14-0 in the first quarter of Saturday?s game at Sun Life Stadium, Joe Bauserman rolled to his right and threw a strike to receiver Verlon Reed.

It was the kind of play the redshirt freshman made routinely during fall camp, but suddenly his hands were made of stone.

Or maybe they weren?t.

According to informed sources close to the program the Marion Franklin product suffered a cut on his hand in practice during the week leading up to the Miami game that required eight stitches. That leads to speculation that Reed?s drop may have been the result of an injured hand, but Reed himself and the OSU coaching staff were not openly blaming the injury.

?He made no excuse for it. ? He saw the ball coming and he did not make the play,? Ohio State receivers coach Stan Drayton said.

?Verlon is a guy who has great hands, and at that moment he didn?t get it done.?

Verlon also dropped a touchdown strike tossed by Bauserman in the Toledo game, which would have given that game a different feel.

I recall that ball being badly under thrown but I may be mistaken.

I believe that one was under thrown a bit, but the WR has to help out his QB when he gets the ball sent his way. Reed has been the most reliable of the young WRs to date. I think he'll have a good day today.

I hope Verlon isn't badly hurt after that onside kick attempt at the end. He appeared to be in a lot of pain. Here's to fast healing...these Bucks need you Verlon!

Dinged up

Verlon Reed suffered a right knee injury on the onside kick with seven seconds left. There was no official word on his condition yesterday, but insiders said the starting wide receiver is out indefinitely.

You hate to see this. The kid was trying when it seemed impossible. I wish you well VR, here is to a speedy recovery.

Get well soon Verlon

Saw Verlon leaving class yesterday. Was on crutches putting no weight on his leg. Didn't see any casts, boots, or wraps on him so you'd have to think the knee or calf assessments are likely accurate.

Torn ACL according to Coach Fickell.

I won't focus on the negative.

Rather, other players need to learn from this. This kid went out there and put his body on the line with 10 seconds to go and the game seeming hopeless. We don't stop at tOSU until the final whistle blows.
