LB Freddie Lenix (Cincinnati signee)

How did Freddie do last night, im hoping he impressed Tressel..

Layman opinion of what I saw last night. Freddie hits like a ton of bricks but is very small. Smaller than Mike Doss, but maybe hits harder. Again just an opinion, he would be great as a safety when we play a power running team such as Wisconsin. Based on last night he gets two thumbs up.

The guy I drooled over is Rose, the D-lineman. Bigger stronger version of Javon Kerse. I hope he has grades next year.

free pics from BNuts w/a nice comment from Jamario about Freddie

Before they loaded the bus, Freddie Lenix and Jamario O'Neal posed for their last Glenville football photo. O'Neal said it was a photo of two future Buckeyes. Lenix is content to wait and see if OSU will indeed offer him a scholarship.

i would say freddie is maybe slighltly bigger than mike doss was as a senior in high school, otherwise though i think stow hit it head on. rose is tough too. nowhere near kearse's speed but a legit d1 rpospect for sure.

Went to see the game this weekend, a few observations. First and formost is Glenville, their center #64 was a monster, he pancaked 68 for mckinley a dozen times. Thats a joke on him being a monster, hes about 5ft 5, 175lbs, but hes a fighter, well worth the trip up theirto see a lil guy like that fight like hell.

O'Neal #8 His punt return WOW, incredible 98 yards, Smalls didn't pick it up and so Jamrio did on the 2 running it back into the endzone and out and about around and up the sideline a la Teddy. He has great speed and was untested on defense, from my recollection was untested and knocked down a pass thrown to another guys man. Laid some real big licks comming up he played both saftey and cb, also killed a guy on a kickoff, was running down the field picked out the littlest guy and murdered him. For a reason I do not understand never played offense?? never seen these guys before but in my opinion their is no reason he should not have played, run reverse or actually caught the ball. Ran down Brinson at the end of the game like he was standing still, really showed foot speed. Brison is supposedly in the 4.42 range. So 4.5 for Jamario is easily legit.

Lenix #7 Freddie played real well, had a knack for that ball and played mlb, my projection on soze is 6ft 6ft 1, 200-210lbs. If he put some wight on I would see a Cie Grantish style lb more likely than a saftey. had some real nice hits and ran well. Played some offense as a fb and run/pass blcoking. Ran the ball 3 times, two times glenvillle had penalties, 1 carry 3 yards. Showed real good patientince and a nice burst.

#13 Smalls, Ray dropped a lot of balls 3-4 on maybe 6 passes his way. Has a lot of speed, did not play any defense.

#99 Blew up the line a lot, played real well, impressive, lacked size to play inside like he did at the next level. Has good upfield movement and a good "motor"

#3 DE played really well had a handful of sacks and good speed, i think this is curtis smith???

#25 Supposedly a soph, played dt, but was everywhere similar in stature to lenix, played hard and was everywhere, a young guy who will must lilkely me moved to lb

Hiley-the worst high school kciker i have ever seen, no leg strength, I don't think he got one inside the 20 and had one guy 12-18 yards that was not an onside attempt.

Overall impression of Gelnville was lots of team speed, honestly not very well coached in X and O's play calling was suspect until they need it and ran the ball down Mcklineys throat at the end of the game and mixed that with some razzle dazzle counters and reverses. Had a defense who could really hit. I do not understand why the better players didnt go both ways especially with the talent of some of these guys

Canton McKinley
#3 Brinson Really good shifty powerful back, good quickness and speed. Very ellusive runner and on returns

#84 Really big kid, nice player played te, with tackle size.


Overall-really good game, 4 turnovers killed the tarblooders, my pick is Colerain for the championship

#84 on Canton McKinley is Anton Hight. Played both ways, TE/DE. I checked him out up close, layman's opinion; he has not put a whole lot of work into the body that God indeed blessed him with. If he had Freddie Lenix work ethic, we're talking a one man gang.

Regarding current Glenville star Freddie Lenix, Ginn told me "Freddie is up to 205 pounds right now. He'll play at 225 in college, and that's big enough with his speed. He'll make a great linebacker at the next level." After watching Lenix, ranked as one of the top players in the state by Ohio High magazine, make a ton of plays tonight, I agree with him.

Nutty. Buckskin86,

Have you heard any news of the Coaches moving to give Freddie an offer?
Heard some things but it's all hearsay. Just wanted to know what your thoughts are ...
He is one heck of a player from what I have seen.

Coach T, Fickel and Tucker were at the Glenville/Mckinley game Sat. night (as were Iowa coaches)- It sounds like Lenix (and Brinson) was the target of their interest. Coach Ginn has been saying tOSU has been close to offering for awhile- hopefully Sat. night puts them over the top. This kid needs to be a Buckeye.
