Just to keep everyone updated on Branko...
He did very well at this past weekend's state tournament.
He took third place in Division II. His only loss was in the championship semifinals, when he lost 3-2 to eventual state champion Matt Fisher. It came down to a very controversial call, which I didn't think was a takedown, that won the match for Fisher.
Branko beat several of Ohio's best 215-pounders, including Dave Pickerel, Thomas Taylor and Logan Erb.
It is my personal opinion that Fisher (a senior) and Branko were the two best wrestlers in a very stacked weight class and, if those two guys wrestled 10 times, the matches would be split 5-5.
Branko will be the favorite to win the state title next year.
As for football, Ohio State HAS to look at Brank. He is an animal out there. Whether it be linebacker or fullback, he has the strength, size, speed, athleticism and work ethic to succeed in either spot.
If he slips through the cracks and ends up at PSU, Iowa or Illinios, the Bucks are going to regret it.
