He seems like he will be a great player. I wonder what number he'll get?

Being a long time ago Shelby grad and Whippet, I think this is awesome. I can't remember anyone from my school being a Buckeye except for Sigfried in the 60's.....

late 90's...I think his first name was Andy. There was Tom Moore as a kicker in the early 80's...kicked a few extra points in the spring game. Was on the team for a couple years. Of course, in women's basketball, Jodi Roth was a starter in the 80's.

I wondered what Moore's first name was. I went to the Buckeye Cafe Hall Of Fame Saturday and saw his picture and didn't know what his first name was. Where was he from?

I graduated with Moore. I knew he walked on, but did not recall that he was able to make the team. I do remember Jodi Roth and thought about that after I responded.

Nice catches...

Moore was from Shelby...

Shelby WR to train with Buckeyes

SHELBY -- Life the last seven months for Garrett Hummel has been a blur of football practices, weight-lifting sessions and conditioning drills, but his parents have done most of the sweating.

Their anxiety gave way to relief recently when Garrett was informed by letter that he would be part of the 105-man roster when the Ohio State Buckeyes open football camp Sunday. The first practice for the defending Big Ten champion and BCS runner-up is Monday.

According to observers, Hummel always seemed to be at the head of the pack in running drills. He caught the eye of head coach Jim Tressel and speed coordinator Butch Reynolds, the former Olympic gold medalist, along with players like Chris Wells and NFL draftee Roy Hall, who thought he was an early enrollee from the 2007 recruiting class.

He spent most of the summer doing manual labor with starting quarterback candidate Antonio Henton for Columbus businessman and ex-Buckeye Charlie Simon. More recently, Hummel took a job as a personal trainer at Bally's, working alongside OSU linebacker Larry Grant.
