Marion, Ohio |
A true blocking fullback in the mold of Jamar
Martin. Entered the OSU recruiting outlook late, but is the
perfect kind of player to block for the Bucks talented stable
of tailbacks. A blue collar player that doesn't mind doing
the dirty work. Has a 2.1 GPA and a 27 on the ACT. |

Major running back talent that was not recruitied
heavily early because of grade problems, but grades look salvagable
now. Sub 4.5 fourty speed. Rushed for over 2000 yards as a
sophomore, junior and senior. Scored 32 TDs and averaged 11
yards per carry as a senior. Excellent speed but is deceptively
strong as well. Impact player. One of the top RB prospects
in the nation. Failed to qualify academically
but enrolled at Ohio State. Has since left the University. |

Shawn Price |
LB |

The top LB prospect in New Jersey this year.
Would probably have been at top 100 prospect, but grades leave
a questionmark as to whether he will qualify. Most likely
will end up at Fork Union. Failed
to qualify academically but enrolled at a prep school in California. |

Failed to qualify academically, and is out of the picture.
Will never be a Buckeye. |
