Former Ohio State Buckeyes receiver Ray Small sentenced to four years in prison

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Wearing a tan top stamped with FCCC on the back over a white T-shirt, sporting a beard and a thicker upper body than during his Ohio State playing career, former Buckeyes receiver Ray Small was sentenced to four years in prison Thursday in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas.

Judge Patrick Sheeran handed down the sentence after a joint recommendation from the prosecution and the defense on felony drug and gun charges resulting from an arrest in July of 2013.

Small, a Glenville High grad, also had been recently sentenced to three years in prison resulting from drug charges in Meigs County, Ohio. As agreed to by all parties, the sentences will run at the same time, so Small will spend no more than four years in prison.

He also will be eligible for judicial release, meaning that if he behaves in prison and takes part in programs aimed at rehabilitation, Small could apply for early release. His lawyer, Eric Brehm, told cleveland.com that Small would likely have to spend at least a year in prison before that could be considered. And he would have to be granted the early release by both the judge in Franklin County and Meigs County. But Judge Sheeran seemed open to the possibility.

Rivals Premium

He likes Ohio State, USC, Miami and probably Pitt, Iowa, and Wisky- they all send mail. He has some early offers from MAC and lower tier Big Ten schools. He says USC has been his favorite since he was little.

He has been to most of the tOSU home games and talks to Coach Tucker alot.

Sounds like a solid prospect. Good size and speed for a DB. And he's coming from our Glenville pipeline, so we know Ted Ginn has been keeping him on the straight and narrow. I hope we get him.

Sounds like a good prospect. I see we will be having another battle with USC..

We could use some true cornerbacks in the 06 class, immediate playing time will be appealing. VG if you read this, could you give us some additional thoughts on Smalls.

We might pull in 5 kids from Glenville next year. They are going to be stacked with d-1 talent.

I really like Small to be inthe next class. He's an athlete, but his future seems to be at the CB position, which will be nice for the 06 class. Great size and speed and seems to be an above average student with the GPA given. Hopefully we can reel him in.

try the search function and advanced search for glenville. we have had 20 plus people break down what they saw from glenville. maybe tonight if i have time at home i will try to copy and paste them in.

I've been a big fan of Small for some time now. I've yet to see him play live, but I've heard nothing but good things on him, even from some anti-Glenville people.

If his test scores are ok, he's a Buck all the way.

 

[BGriffBuckeye]

To whoever changed the title of the thread, thank you. I don't think there could be anything more that turns off a recruit than not knowing how to spell the kid's name.

 

[CoosMeister]

I heard he doesn't have great hands but at DB he will be fine Im sure

 

[wadc45]

To clarify, Indiana and Illinois are the B10 schools that have offered...

Mili - can you add him to your 2006 database list...

 

[jimotis4heisman]

I heard he doesn't have great hands but at DB he will be fine Im sure

i would agree when i saw him play he dropped balls i feel a d1 caliber player should make. granted he was a jr and it was HUGE game (nckinley) nerves get to some people. we will see though.

Ray was impressive at the Army AA combine but he would only rate his performance an 8. He sees himself as a DB at the next level as he is too small to play RB. As of right now, he likes USC and tOSU as his early favorites. He enjoys the California weather and the overall spedd of the team. However, he says he loves tOSU just as much. Currently, he is concentrating on track where Glenville hopes to once again defend their State Title.
