As soon as Willie Mobley walked into the dance studio at Eden Prairie High School on Wednesday morning, his intentions were clear.

The all-state defensive lineman wore a red, hooded sweat shirt emblazoned with "Ohio State" in big letters across the front. In his right hand was a red and gray cap with a big "O."
