Gantz' is an interesting story- was a lock to Boise State until they pulled his scholly and brought in a JuCo. He had turned down other offers to be a Bronco, now he's looking at grayshirts and preferred walk on situations.

Great kid, IMHO.

On Twitter Sunday afternoon, kicker Andrew Gantz announced he was leaving the Vols and will be playing for Cincinnati in 2013. As was the case at UT, Gantz will be a preferred walk-on at UC,

How Ohio State's '13 recruiting class changed everything for the Buckeyes
By Pat Forde

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The most memorable play from Ohio State’s 42-35 upset of Alabama in the College Football Playoff semifinals was running back Ezekiel Elliott going 85 yards for the clinching touchdown – bursting into the clear and running away from that vaunted SEC speed.

Elliott is a member of the Buckeyes’ 2013 recruiting class.

Before Elliott’s run, the game-turning play came on a Vonn Bell interception in the fourth quarter near the Ohio State goal line to thwart what could have been the go-ahead drive by the Crimson Tide.

Bell is a member of the Buckeyes’ 2013 recruiting class.

The most decorated player on this Ohio State team is defensive end Joey Bosa, who was a consensus All-American; a finalist for the Lombardi, Chuck Bednarik and Ted Hendricks Awards; and the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Year and Defensive Lineman of the Year.

Bosa is a member of the Buckeyes’ 2013 recruiting class.

The guy who was Ohio State’s best offensive player before breaking his ankle, and who spent much of the season in the Heisman Trophy picture, was quarterback J.T. Barrett.

Barrett is a member of the Buckeyes’ 2013 recruiting class.

And on it goes. The list of second-year Buckeyes who have made major contributions on this stirring run to the national championship game opposite Oregon never seems to end.

“What they’ve done is ridiculous,” said senior defensive tackle Michael Bennett. “It’s hard to understand what these redshirt freshmen and sophomores have been able to do.”

Cont'd ...

Saw Corey play a few times. Baller. Tall too. Can't get 'em all, I guess. Wheaton is my adopted home town... His cross town rival (Wheaton North) is where my kids will end up and home of Taylor Graham.
Wow, funny to see this pop up... and how things change quickly. Wheaton is no longer adopted... built a house here last year and as I would have predicted, in the Wheaton North school district. Go Falcons!
