I am also pleased that Garrett does not seem to get the recognition / respect that other players from his signing class seem to receive as I believe that this causes Garrett to work that much harder (as if a motivational factor) as Garrett has been proving "doubters" wrong since he was 12 years old when he was not expected to even place let alone win the Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation State Championship (which he did for three consecutive years) He is an overachiever due to his work ethic and a strong faith in GOD & also in himself.

This is the kind of thing I like to hear, and from someone who is biased toward holding him accountable rather than toward overlooking flaws.
I am very anxious about seeing The Gladiator play. He could become my favorite Buckeye DT since Pete Cusick.
