Now it's a matter of seeing how they can adapt to new positions, and how they project at those positions down the line..

Still excited about both of them. extremely in fact. More excited about Ferrell than Klein. More excited about Mason than any Ohio safety on the board except maybe Allen.

Darrell is waiting on more offers besides Illinois and Akron. He says tOSU is his favorite team but he is open to all schools.

Mason is an excellent hitter, so it makes sense to put him on defense. His combination of size and speed on top of that might be too much for the coaches to look away. Who knows, a bigger Mike Doss?

I was at the State title Game for ursiline against marion local and Darrel definetly belongs on defense he is good on defense but looking at him I personally think he might outgrow the safety position he looked around 6'1 210-215

I really think that if the staff projects him as a safety I fell that he will get an offer...I think LB is loaded, and RB I am not sure that he has what the staff is looking for to be able to play RB here...

Agreed...I think he gained too much weight for this season. If he gets back down to around 200, I think he will be much more effective. I would love a safety class of Mason, Allen, and/or Turner.

By B. Greene at the Ohio State site. Mason has offers from Akron and Illinois, and is receiving interest from Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan State, and Cincinnati. He says he is very interested in Ohio State, Michigan, and Illinois, and adds that he has been very high on Ohio State for some time.

[Holy Buckeye!]

I would love to see this young Buck get an offer. This guy will be a devastating safety for the Buckeyes one day. Mike Doss-esque' but bigger.
