By Greg Powers...talks about some of the camps he made it to this summer. Schools are talking to him about LB and K.

He sure does own allot of college garb... but wearing SeanJohn instead of S/G at the shoe....hmmm.

You just don't see enough Kicker/Linebacker combos out there anymore. Lou Groza..you watching?

[CleveBucks]

Worth bringing this one back up top.

Both and very good at both

[wadc45]

And also a potential contributor at other spots on the S/T...namely kick and punt coverage...

Do you think he might get offered even with the so-called numbers crunch and the rumors of Henton.

I saw this forum while searching for some information on Anthony, researching a story I was working on, and just wanted to relay some information about Anthony and St. Pius X.

SPX competes at the highest level of private school football in the state of Texas. They are the two-time Division I state champions.

Fera is fantastic athlete. While I was visiting with the head coach a day or so ago he relayed a story about Anthony that I had forgotten about. But in the season opener against one of the public school teams (can't remember if it was 4A or 5A), the long snapper snapped one over Anthony's head and he had to scramble several yards just to pick up the ball, but not only did he grap it, but he scrambled to his left to evade a couple of would be tacklers and then punted the ball one-handed with his left-foot (he's a righty) and still managed to get 30-plus yards out of the boot.

His high school head coach said he was one of the best tacklers he had on his team.

He's already kicking 60-yarders off the ground (no tee) with consistency. He's going to be a good one!

I heard he got an invite to the EPSN All-Star game after his performance at the OSU camp.

Having got Ben Buchanan last year, and the class all but filled up this year, it is gonna be hard to envisage Anthony in this class. It looks like this class will max out at 27, and I think that all those spots are pretty much accounted for.

If we did have 28....I would really like to see this kid get an offer.

Thanks for the info LSCSN and welcome to BP

By Jeff Svoboda....Says tOSU is his favorite school. Has interest from Michigan, Penn State & tOSU so far. Also goes on to say that he's a Buckeye fan as he was turned onto the program as a kid by a friend. May be willing to greyshirt if he gets an offer given that Ben committed to tOSU last year.

[LitlBuck]

Even with a greyshirt offer, I think the problem is that Ohio State is still looking at the number 85.
