If I recall correctly, he missed a lot of time with some type of sickness last season. But when I saw him play, I was not very impressed.

Well, I asked for your opinion, so it's appreciated. However, I respectfully disagree with it. When was the last time a 210 pounder who runs an electronically timed 4.4 40, isn't scared of contact, reacts quickly on plays, has football instincts, and plays in a high profile recruiting state; was simply fodder for the MAC? I was surprised he possessed only three high major offers. He may have gotten a slow play offer from UM or
OSU, if he was willing to wait. The only real knock on him I can see is his height/weight combo makes him somewhat of a tweener. But if he maintains his weight at its current level, he should be plenty quick for a strong safety. And even though he's only 6 feet tall, that's not outrageously short for a linebacker, and he has the broad shoulders to somewhat compensate. When Wisconsin offered Chris Borland from Kettering last year, I didn't see how he projected to the next level. Can't say the same about Ontko.
