Like this quote from the Dispatch article:

"If my brother was still at Michigan, the same thing would have happened today; I still would have picked Ohio State," Zach said. "I didn't see any reason to keep waiting when I knew Ohio State was where I wanted to spend the next four or five years of my life."

Zach should not feel as though being a fullback is a consolation prize, compared to LB. If Zach ends up as a 6'1" 275 lb. badarse fullback, he could even see time this fall. With all due respect, that scenario would be doubtful as an LB.
Even with the diminished role of FBs in college and pro offenses, if Zach worked to add muscle, yet increase speed and agility, he could make a pro team happy on Sundays some day. If he lives up to his reputed work ethic, he has a good shot...
Good luck--now kick some arse!!!

Prolly need to let him finish his senior year in high school first.

I think he could work in as a Linebacker. He tallied 182 tackles last season! That is nothing to sneeze at. He also is a very hard nosed hard hitting tackler. I love watching players who like to knock the slobber out when the hit!

Central's Boren decides to play under Tressel
By SEAN GOLDEN

PICKERINGTON - Ohio State fans officially can start contemplating what Zach Boren will look like in scarlet and gray.
The Pickerington Central junior decided he had mulled over the Buckeyes' scholarship offer for long enough. On Wednesday, Boren committed to play for Jim Tressel in 2009.
"I've known for a couple days now that Ohio State's where I want to go," Boren said Thursday. "I woke up (Wednesday) and just said 'Why is there reason to wait?' "
Boren said he called Ohio State's co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell to let the former Buckeye know he had decided to become one.
"He said that a couple years ago he would never have believed this," Boren said. "He was really happy."

It is also nothing to pay much attention to in high school. Tackle stats have no concrete criteria. I've seen staffs give a kid an assist for pile jumping or even being near a pile.

Lol...true that. We had a LB that supposedly had 120 tackles and I hardly remember him making a solo tackle. Out of Boren and Homan, I think Homan is the most likely to stay on D. I think Boren has hit his ceiling athletically and I think Adam still has room to grow there. Boren ends up at about 260-265 and at FB, unless he ends up at DT. I think both could easily end up at FB but just my opinion. Either way they are strong, tough players who wanted to be Buckeyes. Good enoguh for me.
