It is true that other specialists under Tressel at OSU have not played other positions, but none of them were offered scholarships out of HS by Tressel, and instead earned their scholarships after walking on. Basil only kicks and punts, so he would be an exception to the rule if offered.
Ft. Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas has a good kicker who used to be a QB, so he could be a specialist to keep an eye on.

Good thought. I dont know if it is a coincidence or not.
BTW, Let Pettrey throw the ball on a trick this year... dude has some KY records over Tim Couch |
