Number 12 was Zwick's of last year but Dane is a WR that can throw the ball. Interesting though he did play that position at Toledo Central Catholic as a senior when the number one QB got dinged up. His first pass as the QB was for a TD IIRC from my completely unbiased viewpoint.  I could a trick play in the future (a perfect spiral to Saine for a TD). Is it too soon to start dreaming?
He does look better in this picture than yesterday's, he could use a few lbs but he's always had that "Great Dane" appearance (lean and leggy).

Just going by the look in his eyes, this kid is coming in full of confidence and ready to go to work. I'm sure he will remember his first Buckeye practice for a long, long time.

I've seen that same look of intensity during track season. He know he's being tested and the focus for Dane is to show everyone what he's got and edge out the competition. Granted the competition is stiff, but he has that competitive edge as we will see.
Tressel has already noticed the fire and spirit of the '07 class and he mention that in this article from the Columbus Dispatch.
The Columbus Dispatch : Notebook: Buckeyes freshmen hit ground running after summer school

All summer, players kept telling Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, "Wait until you see these freshmen," and yesterday, the freshmen did not disappoint.

Bucknuts.com - Tressel Talks Shop On First Day Of Practice
Quote:
Tressel was noticeably pleased with how the Buckeyes performed as a whole during their conditioning test. The coach discussed the true freshmen who caught his eye on Monday.
“Well, just watching the running this morning, Dane Sanzenbacher and Taurian Washington, they toyed with it. It was very impressive,” Tressel said. “Brandon Saine, it was kind of a jog in the park for him because the tailbacks run with what we call the ‘lions’ which is the middle group. And Brandon is faster than all of the ‘cheetahs’ so it wasn’t real challenging for him. But he is just so smooth. Cameron Heyward was very impressive running. You can go down that freshman group and it’s kind of what our older guys said they would be. They are a pretty impressive group.”

And this article from the Dayton Daily News, Tressel is watching for spark.

This is only the second day of practice, the football drought is over!

Tressel on Sanzenbacher
Just saw Dane in his uniform on TV and the last name more than fills up the back! Very Cool. He was posing with Brandon Saine. 13ABC Action news also interviewed Coach Tressel and his words about Dane were:
Quote:

...He's in tremendous condition, he can run and run and run. And he can catch the football...
|
All that high school track are paying some benefits now.
Dane spoke about this day and putting on the uniform and is proud to be part of the Buckeye Family. Toledo couldn't have a better representative in Columbus. Makes me very proud. Go Bucks!

Sanzenbacher steps up game
OSU freshman's best chance appears to be at wide receiver
By MATT MARKEY
BLADE SPORTS WRITER
COLUMBUS - Nobody makes the leap from high school football to an elite college program in a single, smooth stride. There are steps to take, hurdles to clear, bridges to traverse. For former Central Catholic standout Dane Sanzenbacher, the road from being a two-time City League player of the year to a place on the depth chart with the Ohio State Buckeyes has been a predictably uphill one, complete with steep climbs and switchbacks. But as the Buckeyes work through preseason training camp and inch closer to the first game of 2007, Sanzenbacher has met every challenge, and seized every opportunity. "The game is a lot faster at this level, and if you are going to play at a place like Ohio State, then you have to respond to that and step up your play," Sanzenbacher said. "You are surrounded by great players at every position, every day."
