Football: The draft for the spring game was conducted today at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day was the number one overall pick.
The Scarlet team made defensive end Thaddeus Gibson the overall first player picked in the draft, eschewing the opportunity to take a running back or quarterback with the pick, going instead with a rush defensive end. The Gray countered by opening the other defensive end position as the second position drafted. They took Lawrence Wilson with the first pick at that end.
The-Ozone will have full draft report later this afternoon.

Wrestling: (Akron, Ohio) There is big Ohio State wrestling news from Akron this weekend according to the-Ozone wrestling beat writer Kevin Schlosser who was there for the 2008 University Nationals.
In the Greco-Roman Tournament on Friday, OSU wrestler Nikko Triggas won the 55kg (121lbs) championship. In the Freestyle Tournament on Saturday and Sunday, Reece Humphrey won the 63kg (138.75) championship.
With his title Nikko Triggas earned an automatic invitations to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials; Reece Humphrey competed in a non-Olympic weight class. Triggas’s weight class will compete in Las Vegas on June 13. As individual champions both qualified for the 2008 World University Team Trials in Colorado Springs on May 23-24, 2008.
With the two titles won by Triggas and Humphrey, the Buckeye wrestling program has had six different national champions in the last year. Coaches Joe Heskett and Tommy Rowlands were 2007 Senior National champions; J Jaggers and Mike Pucillo were 2008 NCAA champions.
