Goebel created so much space at the line for Montini's backs that every Big Ten school plus West Virginia, Notre Dame, Arizona, Florida State, Miami, Tennessee and Oklahoma State made him an offer.

"Ohio State was in on me early, the third school to offer a scholarship," he said. "I like the facilities, and I like coach (Jim) Tressel. Plus, you have a chance to play for a national title every year."

Goebel went head-to-head with Cwynar twice this season. Montini won during the regular season, but Marian Central prevailed in the playoffs.

"I was looking forward to that all year long," Goebel said. "It was tough?two top players going at each other the whole game. I got a couple plays on him and he got a couple on me.

"Maybe we'll meet one day again on a college field."
