COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Kyle Dodson, a former Cleveland Heights football star who is a freshman offensive lineman at Ohio State, left the team's practice in an ambulance Tuesday afternoon. A school spokesman Tuesday night said that Dodson would be kept overnight at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center but that he was expected to be fine.

"He was ill earlier today and had a bout of dehydration during practice," OSU spokesman Jerry Emig said in an email, "but he is now stable and doing well."

Dehydration on Bloody Tuesday while also ill != good.

Glad he's recovering.

Great to hear that he's pushing himself to the limit

Hope he doesn't push himself past the limit ever again

 

[Bill Lucas]

Agreed. Korey Stringer is still fresh in my mind.

Backup left tackle Kyle Dodson said he lost 25 lbs and got much stronger in one year in the program. Envisions being starting LT next year.

Thats the kind of news we need to hear from these kids. Way to work Kyle!!!

Great news indeed! The competition is going to be stiff at many positions next year; OL being one of them. Glad to hear he is doing everything he can to put himself in a position to succeed.

:osu:

Awesome news! I was beginning to worry because I hadn't heard anything from him so far in camp or much in the spring. Itd be awesome if he could earn a spot as a starter.

I wonder if his positive progress will affect our recruiting of chad Mavety since it seems like he's being recruited to be our starter at LT next year. It's a good problem, but possibly a position battle if we can land Mavety.

He does exist!

Good to see Kyle healthy and earning some playing time.

In one of the UFM's press conferences a month ago, someone asked about Dodson, and UFM said he was talented but that he was not playing. This is great news.

Ready to be Ohio State's starting left tackle next season? After working and waiting, Kyle Dodson thinks so

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Hope he is mature enough to handle the step up in responsibility. They say a huge part of sports is mental and KD seems like a poster child for that statement. He has the physical tools. Does he have the mental part? Guys in the trenches battle through more adversity than any position group and it takes a tough nut to come through the grind on top. Will be interesting to see what Kyle is truly made of. Huge opportunity for him this year. Let's hope he makes the most of it.

Perfect life opportunity in front of Kyle. Feet are in the fire and the microscope is on him. Rise to the occasion young man. Rise up.


I, personally, see Decker moving to the left side and Kyle taking over the right. I would love for Kyle to just explode onto the scene but Taylor's experience is probably going to give him the edge to start out on the left and make room on the right to protect Braxton's blind side.
