My advice to this kid is to wait. Barring injury, his status can only improve. If he wants to be a Buckeye then nothing should stand in his way. Keep working hard, give 100% this upcoming football season, do the same thing he has done in the past, and let the chips fall where they may. If in the end, there is still no offer from
OSU then walk-on. That there takes the kind of determination that you only read about.
