Kicked the second longest field goal in Ohio high school history, a 57 yarder this year.
Lets hope he's a buckeye.

I wouldn't bet on it, unless a scholarship for a Kicker opens up, but with Pretorious and Pettrey on scholarship, I doubt that happens. With a scholarship on the table from BG, I wouldn't see him walking on.

Let's see...isn't Huston on scholarship now? That's three kickers on schollie, right? So why not offer Wright? With the importance of our kicking game proving itslef time and time again since Tressel's arrival, it would be stupid to "save" a scholarship in lieu of offering possibly the best kicker in the state.

i agree 100%, this kid could be the real deal, but his family is well off (my dentist when i was growing up) and could easily afford to pay for school, sometimes a scholarship isn't all its cracked up to be.

A 57-yd kick is certainly nothing to scoff at-- that's downright fantastic for a kid his age! Bryan has Huston written all over him, and if we offer, I would be REALLY excited to land this kid.
HOWEVER, even with losing both Skeete and Huston here this year, I don't see us pursuing Wright with a schollie. We will give Pettrey a schollie before we start chasing anyone else (I believe he ended up walking on to OSU when the supposed grey-shirt thing fell through-- not sure what all happend with that). Whether Pettrey has an offer or not, Pretorious will be a R-So and Pettrey will be a R-Fr next year. A kicker in this class is not a need. |

We have two totally unproven kickers, neither of whom has even attempted a place kick in college (Pretorious has a couple kickoffs, IIRC). Don't even think that a kicker is not a need in this class. When you have a great kicker available to offer, and your only other alternative is two zero-experience kickers, you make the offer. What if Pretorious and Pettrey don't pan out and/or one/both get hurt?
Hey, we have four QBs on scholarship even though only one plays at a time, so why not have three scholarship kickers?
