Awards
Caleb Downs wins the Jim Thorpe Award, but Jeremiah Smith gets snubbed from the Biletnikoff Award.
Two months after picking up his second Ohio Division 1 Boy's Player of the Year award, Toledo St. John's Marc Loving has been named a Parade Magazine All-America.
Loving, a 6-foot-8 forward who will suit up for Thad Matta's Buckeyes this fall, averaged 21.3 points and 8.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game for the Titans as a senior. He is the all-time leading scorer at St. John’s High School, scoring more than 1,600 points. He also corralled the most rebounds – 711. Loving once scored 42 points in a game.
He committed to Ohio State shortly after his freshman season and with the absence of Deshaun Thomas, Loving could see immediate playing time in Columbus.
