At 6'3'' 215 any chance he grows into a LB.? If yes can you imagine another speedy big linebacker to with the crop we already have. Even if this kid stays at safety this class is monstrous with defensive prospects!!!!!!!

Any chance you could read back a page or two in this thread where we discussed this very same thing?

Reading a story like this makes it easier to understand how some serious talent ends up at lower-tier D1 programs. Hype is half the equation anymore with other offers, internet, etc. but Zach's story is remarkable. Interesting how the talent was there but the interest was just late. Every now and then a guy like this gets missed but not this time...I'm really glad we landed Zach.

After watching the 11 minute video of him, I gotta say he plays with what my Football mentor used to call controlled fury. He doesn't seem to slow down, likes a good contact, but doesn't take it over the edge. With him being a good size/skill set it'll be nice to have him.
I also seem to remember another 3* out of the GWOC central who had quite an illustrious career at tOSU... I think his name might have rhymed with Rock

Sometimes you can see a really talented player play for what is considered a weak football program and he never gets noticed by the Big D1 programs because scouts rarely see any of their games. That is most likely what happened with Zach.
I can't imagine any D1 program that would have over looked him had any of their scouts seen him play this season.

I highly recommend listening to Zach's interview on the Bucknuts Radio Hour. Very well spoken.

Dispatch
Ohio State football: Late offer well worth wait for Domicone
Tressel will visit Beavercreek today
Monday, January 28, 2008 2:57 AM
By Tim May
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
An exciting 12 days in the history of Beavercreek High School football is scheduled for a mighty crescendo today. "Jim Tressel is coming to our school," football coach Scott Clodfelter said.
The Ohio State coach is going there to take a peek at Beavercreek, a Dayton suburb. But mainly he's going to eyeball recruit Zach Domicone, a safety who just 13 days ago wasn't forecast to be one of 18 players who have committed to the Buckeyes' 2008 recruiting class.
"You hear all the talk about the craziness of college football recruiting, but you really don't know about it until you live it," Clodfelter said.
