Thanks for the write up. I didnt realize he played in the biggest division in Florida. That is some top notch competition. Make me even happier that he is a buckeye. |

he also practiced everyday against Richard Jackson who is a WR
going to ND...he was considered one of the top 5 WR's in our state this
year...not saying he will come in and start but he has some good
tools to get started with...just another unknown florida kid ala
chris gamble tressel found..it is no secret they went looking at
jackson and discovered CC..

I don't believe Teddy Ginn came into college weighing much more than that and he was considered the hands down #1 CB comng out of high school.
EDIT
He (TGII) was listed at 6'1", 165 lbs to CC's 6'1", 170 lbs

I would'nt worry about his weight. He has decent height for a db and I'm sure they will pack on some muscle during his first year. If he has heart and speed they can teach him the rest.
