Mike Hall Jr. is selected 54th overall in the second round of the NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns.
President Tressel paid forward again over the weekend.
He kicked off this weekend's Guinathon (Youngstown State's Dance Marathon) by jump-starting both the pledges and the dancing:
President @JimTressel5 has helped kick off @YSU_Guinathon with a $5,000 pledge from him and Mrs. Tressel!

Our students are dancing all day today to raise funds for Childrens Miracle Network @AkronChildrens. Stop out to the Chestnut Room (Kilcawley) until 8 pm to take part. pic.twitter.com/01F0JhIwuP
Ellen is out of town this weekend, so he patched her in to lend her support to the dancers (if you've never participated in a dance marathon, it's physically exhausting - it's quite literally a dance marathon).
We have a pretty darn cool Pres & first lady!

Ohio State's Buckeyethon was earlier this month and raised $1.6MM for pediatric cancer research. You can donate to any of Ohio's state schools' Dance Marathon efforts anytime, all year.
