Ohio State football: Mike Brewster - from not a center to starting center

Marvin Fong/ The Plain DealerMike Brewster, 50, has a lot of responsibility for so little experience.
The fact that freshman Mike Brewster will be in the starting at center against Wisconsin on Saturday night is maybe more of an accomplishment than the fact that freshman Terrelle Pryor will be starting at quarterback.
The top offensive line recruit from the state of Florida last year, it's worth a reminder, as offensive line coach Jim Bollman pointed out Wednesday, that Brewster didn't play center in high school. When future first-round NFL pick Nick Mangold played center as an OSU freshman in 2002, it didn't happen this quickly and he had played center in high school.
Not only that, Brewster enrolled at Ohio State in January for winter quarter, but was forced to sit out spring practice while recovering from right shoulder surgery necessitated by an injury suffered in his last high school game.
Then the older linemen made him shave his head during preseason ball.
And then he started the fourth game of his college career against Troy two weeks ago, basically two months after working in full-time practice as a full-time center for the first time.
