Hmmmm, sounds like a wrestler.

Spring practice reports of his early success simply give credence to the theory that good wrestlers usually make good football players. Obviously the leverage that one learns on the mat is usually transferable to the gridiron. Sounds like a good, tough kid in the practices.
Go Bucks!

Ohio State coach believes former M'ville star Dexter Larimore is special

"Oh my, Dexter is special,'' Tressel said. "Dexter is a full-speed practice guy and kind of a no-nonsense, I'm-going-to-get-better-every-second kind of guy. Dexter is going to play a lot. Even though we rotate our guys on the defensive front, I would say that Dexter will play 30-to-40 snaps a game as opposed to 18-to-25.
"Dexter is going to be an excellent player. He has great strength.''

Tressel said he's heard stories about Larimore's prowess in the weight room.
"A lot of the guys have been talking about his strength,'' Tressel said. "He's not just strong in the weight room. Some guys are weight-room guys, but Dexter is also a great leverage guy.''

While Larimore must still pass the test of time, stay healthy and be consistently good over the long haul, Tressel said he expects him to eventually be as good as anybody.
"Dex's wrestling background really helps him because it helps him to stay low,'' Gholston said. "That's the biggest thing for a defensive guy when you're talking about taking on double teams and trying to press people into the backfield. He's not in my workout group, but I've heard a lot of great things about him in the weight room this summer.
"I think he's going to be good. If he's not a starter this year, I would think he's definitely going to be a major contributor.''

Sounds like Tressel could barely contain himself. This is going to be a great year.
