BN $ - Franklin Would Like To Be A Buckeye

2/5

By BK...getting interest from Ohio State, Penn State, Northwestern, Cincinnati, Virginia, Nebraska, Alabama, Boise State, Toledo and Buffalo. Favors OSU.

Any DL experience or potential?

I'm not sure he fits the mold of O-linemen we're going after recently(tall, rangy Tackles and smaller, athletic guards), so maybe defense would be his best chance at an offer?

This site lists him as OL/DL, and has some pics.

[Hodgepodge]

Franklin doesn't play DL to the best of my knowledge. It is also worth pointing out that although he may have started every game last season, he split time fairly evenly with fellow class of '10er Eric Vendemia (6-5 270).

Franklin holding out for more offers

It is a very good year in the state of Ohio for offensive linemen. Over half a dozen of the top linemen in the Midwest hail from the Buckeye State.

One very talented lineman that doesn't get as much attention as some of the others is Eric Franklin (Youngstown, Ohio/Cardinal Mooney). The 6-foot-6, 330-pounder started all 12 games at left tackle last season as Cardinal Mooney made it to the state playoffs and finished with a 9-3 record.

Franklin has close to a dozen scholarship offers including Michigan State, Purdue, Indiana, Pitt, Louisville and a host of MAC schools.

"I'm thinking about all of them," Franklin said. "I haven't narrowed it down at all yet. I'm holding out to see who else offers. I don't have any favorites."

Even after Franklin narrows his list down, he doesn't anticipate quickly selecting a college.

"I'll take official visits," he said. "I think I'll take all five. I haven't picked any of them yet."
