I stumbled upon a very favorable article by Tony Gerdeman, of theozone about Gareon Conley. In it, there were also some interesting tid-bits about former Buckeye corners, like this:

This kind of historical detail may not be for everybody - but as a Buckeye football junkie (and an old DB), I thought it was an enjoyable, short read -
