stark county football
Great news, for sure. It's all coming together!
What a great way to end an already amazing weekend! Absolutely huge! A guy who can Lockdown half of the field and also get to take the young defensive backs under his wings and teach all he knows and be one of the leaders of our defense!
Upvote on ^^^^^ if I could yet. Awesome news....
got ya covered
We needed him in the secondary for sure. Glad Burrows and Apple are enrolling early, but I prefer a 3 year guy over a freshman.
Our secondary will be nasty along with the defensive line next year. Roby, Grant, Barnett and Bryant. Hopefully we have two guys step up big with Ryan Damn Shazier in the linebacker corps.
YES!!!! got a report on my phone, and saw this post!!! awesome, next year is just the continuation of a special era of football
needs it IMO...has the chance to be a Thorpe winner next year, has a few things to iron out before the pros (i.e. tackling), another year to sharpen those skills and he could turn out to be another star Buckeye CB in the pros...good choice
I like this.
Help is on the way.
This is better than signing any high school recruit. We have a proven top 3 cornerback in the nation committing to play for the Buckeyes next season!!!!

Roby and Grant will be a good combo next year. Plus all the new young bucks. Going to be an exciting year next year.
Oh h3ll yeah!
Awesome news!
F--- Michigan!
This may be the biggest "recruit" Urban has landed recently.
It's like getting a 6 star recruit, a proven one.
Couldn't agree more... Biggest "signing" of the offseason. I'll take a proven talent any day of the week!
This reminds me of a certain saftey coming back for another season with the Bucks to win a NC. (2002)
Its good to be the king
This was the best way for me to explain my feelings:-)

Something we can agree on!
This is me...this is what i look like at this exact moment.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
As long as we had this to an 'El Guapo tiene asuntos pendientes' gray box (that's 'El Guapo has unfinished business' in Spanish), this will be the best offseason ever... And am I the only one that didn't know 'El Guapo' means 'The handsome one'?
Roby and Shazier will really anchor the defense and will hopefully compete for national awards. Couldn't be more excited to see him shut down opposing WR next year.
Get up Buckeye Nation!
Another big aspect of Broby returning is his leadership with younger guys. Having someone as good as him to help out with Apple, Burrows, Thompson, Lee, Conley will be huge. I would love to see who his black stripe mentor is this summer.
Good for him. Hope he gets his degree (if he's scheduled to graduate 'on time') and cements himself as a first round pick.
Class of 2010
I believe he was a RS sophomore this year.
