He seems to use his size well..I like how the coaches used him at DE....he could be a Leon Lett type...minus the drugs, hopefully.....Duane Long seems to like him....cool name too...

Some new film on Antonio(#73.) Wow, very impressive film. Shows great brute strength, and is quick to react to the play. Uses his hands real well to dispatch the offensive lineman. I might be overrating him a bit, but I think he is easily a top-10 prospect in Ohio. Last edited by scarletngrey11; 03-31-2006 at 03:47 PM. |

He is massive, but I always have trouble picturing a 6'7'' dt. Not saying it can' happen, and there are good ones out there, but right now his leverage is not where it needs to be. He plays too high and just manhandles the o-lineman with pure strength. There are times when he is the highest guy on the field, I know he is tall but to have leverage in college he needs to be low, b/c the low man wins. I would like to see clips on o-line.
Just to clarify I am not saying I don't like him, but he has some work to do to get an offer from us. I think he is one of the many that could help their stock at camp. |

Back to Antonio..... WOW!! He uses his size, quickness and hands well. I hope OSU shows him some interest. I have heard they havent given him much attention to this point. |

Antonio is probably better suited at OT. That being said, he is a major project who has to show a lot at camp before garnering an offer.

4/1 Antonio has 10 offers, including offers from Michigan State, Boston College, and West Virginia. Florida and Georgia are also showing a lot of interest. Ohio State has been in touch, and his coach thinks his offer list will expand after he recieves his test score. |

I think he's too good of a lineman to pass up. I actually think he could play the "heavy" defensive end position on our line, and tear it up. Similar to Patterson did last year, and Simon Frazier did the year before. It seems like Tressel likes one run stuffer who is almost like another defensive tackle at d-end, then one pass rusher. I think he could play that position extremely well, and not only stop the run, but simply overpower tackles as well. I hope we offer him. He fits the category of big athletes who can play pretty much anywhere on the line. Plus we all know that Tressl loves Wrestlers on the d-line. Any kid who is 6'7 275 lbs and a dominant wrestler has rare athletic ability.

I think he has a ways to go to be on Martin's level and I would say that Thomas might be a step ahead of him at this point too.
But he does have an unlimited amount of potential with his size to end up as a very good player. I for one would love to see him get an offer at camp and I think he would committ if he got that offer. |

If he is at camp this weekend, he may pick up that offer and I would not be too surprised to see him commit soon afterwards.
