McKinley linemen walk on for OSU
Canton McKinley graduates Zach Slagle and Tyrell McDonald are walk-ons on the Ohio State football team this fall.
The 2006 Canton McKinley alumni were two-year starters on the offensive line. Slagle and McDonald helped Ryan Brinson rush for 2,402 yards in 2004 and Morgan Williams rush for 2,417 yards in 2005. The Bulldogs were 23-5 the past two seasons.
Slagle, a right tackle, and McDonald, a left guard, were honored as first-team All-Federal League selections last season, and each weighs more than 300 pounds. Slagle was a Division I All-Ohio special-mention choice.
