Garfield Heights' Melvin Fellows back from knee surgery at Big 33, ready for Ohio State
by Doug Lesmerises
Monday June 22, 2009
After knee surgery to repair his left meniscus in April, Garfield Heights defensive end Melvin Fellows was back on the football field at the Big 33 Classic in Pennsylvania on Saturday night.
He thought about not playing in the all-star game matching Ohio's best high school football players against Pennsylvania's best.
"There was a doubt in my mind, but it was important to get the win since we lost for the last three years," Fellows said.
Ohio got that win 38-31, and immediately afterward, Fellows had an icepack on that left knee. But he was also ready for his Ohio State career to start, and he reported to Columbus on Sunday. Despite a lot of depth on the defensive line, Fellows could compete to join the rotation there this fall.
"I think I showed I'm one of the best defensive ends in the nation," Fellows said of his Big 33 week. "I think I'm ready, but it's going to be work."
Fellows said the knee won't hold him back at all.
"My quad is weaker than my other one, so it makes my knee swell up," he said of his recovery. "But I'll let them take control of my body, and I'll be allright."
