[BP Recruiting Team]

with Mike Giresi




The BPRT is back with an early look at a 2009 ballhawk within the shadows of Ohio Stadium. Westerville Central Strong Safety Mike Giresi recorded 75 tackles (38 solo) over his Junior campaign and topped it with an invitation to the Army All-American Junior Combine. There is an early buzz about the hardnosed Junior...so the BPRT had to corner him for a quick round of The Straight Six...
