I've spent a lot of time in that stadium (CCHS' facilities is used by the entire school district) ... kinda surreal seeing it on here.
Sorry for OT... and maybe weird given how many people still live in OH and see their HS... but pretty rare for Ohio State to target a kid in CO, let alone a stones throw away.

Impressive highlights, though competition level in the Denver Metro area isn't very high - even being 5A.

Buckeyes A Top Choice For Colorado 4-Star LB
When asked about his favorites, Marchiol said he hasn’t generated a list of top choices yet, but reiterated the Buckeyes are one of his favorites.

“Oh yeah, they will always be one of them,” Marchiol said.

Marchiol leaves no doubt about a return to Ohio State.

“I’m positive we will go back for a game so my family can see it,” Marchiol said. “The first time I was with my grandmother. This time I’ll come back with my mom and dad and my two brothers. I’d like to go to one of their big games. I’ve heard the night games at Ohio State are really exciting.”

Marchiol has done some thinking as to when he will select a college.

“I was thinking I would commit during my senior year,” Marchiol said. “But seeing the way things are, I think I might do it next year.”

Ex A&M, Arizona LB can’t walk on at Colorado because of domestic violence arrest

Santino Marchiol‘s college football career was brief and scandalous, and now it appears it’s over.

Marchiol first joined the news cycle at Texas A&M, where he attempted to cast himself as a whistleblower against NCAA violations committed by Jimbo Fisher‘s staff. When that stick of dynamite turned into a dud, Marchiol transferred to Arizona to reunite with the coach who signed him out of IMG Academy, but he was gone from Tucson as quickly as he arrived after video surfaced showing Marchiol using a racial slur against his black teammates at Texas A&M.

Marchiol returned to his native Colorado in attempt to walk on at CU, but that comeback attempt has once again died before it could live as it turns out Marchiol was arrested for domestic violence on June 24. From the Denver Post:

According to Pueblo police records, Marchiol was arrested at about 3:30 p.m. on June 24 and booked on suspicion of second-degree assault bodily injury, a felony. Marchiol faces two misdemeanor assault charges, court records indicated, as well as a violation for contempt of a court protection order. He was released on bail June 25.

“Santino was never enrolled as a CU Boulder student,” Colorado said in a statement. “He was invited to be a walk-on for the football team this fall. Coach Tucker has since rescinded that invitation.”

Marchiol would’ve had to sit out the 2019 season due to NCAA rules, but now it seems as if he may sit out the remainder of time as it’s unlikely any other college football staffs will take on a player who attempted to narc to the NCAA on violations that, frankly, aren’t a big deal to begin with, then was caught using a racial slur against black teammates and then was arrested for suspicion of domestic violence.
