Ohio State offers Woodbridge's Da'Shawn Hand
By: David Fawcett | Inside NoVA
Published: April 10, 2012

On Tuesday, the Buckeyes became the latest school to offer Woodbridge High School sophomore defensive lineman Da?Shawn Hand.

Viking head football coach Kevin Smith said that Ohio State?s chief recruiter for this area, assistant coach Zach Smith, had a conversation with Buckeyes defensive line coach Mike Vrabel about Hand. Vrabel, a former All-Pro linebacker for the New England Patriots, told Zach Smith that ?this kid is a freak. We need to offer him.?

Georgia Tech assistant coach Al Groh also recently informed Kevin Smith that the Yellow Jackets were offering Hand.

Hand attended the Rivals.com/VTO Sports Elite 100 Showcase this past Saturday at Highland Springs High School in Richmond. Hand was among 204 players from the Virginia/Maryland/Washington D.C. area who participated in the event. Of those 204 players, 57 of them had been offered by Division I or I-AA schools.

Hand was named the MVP for the defensive linemen.

Ohio State recently offered. What was your reaction to the offer?

Hand: Ohio State, I was shocked man, that's a powerhouse right there. They have a great history, and I am looking forward to getting to know them better over the next couple of years. Coach Smith, who was at my school this past week, offered me. We couldn't talk though, because I am only a sophomore.

Do you plan on visiting Ohio State?

Hand: I will most definitely get up to Columbus sometime. I was looking at flights, and it isn't too long to get up to Columbus, only like 55 minutes, so Ill get up there sometime next year for sure.
