But when a big-time coach like <a href="https://247sports.com/Article/ohio-state-football-hiring-sam-petitto-as-new-director-of-player-personnel-227741148/" target="_blank">Sam Petitto jumps ship</a>? That's a whole different ballgame. Petitto helped build the legendary Alabama program, and now he's bringing that winning attitude to Ohio State. Buckeye fans, get ready to rumble because Petitto is about to shake things up!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoUwnh4bdTFU2v7_9KmKqwB6TOCeAloSUDlUpS5K0X9A3Bdb-PtgpiwycFIUMWDYVTE4LE1YF0rkarFSpHAnq71RnFEkaVIWe2LAR-b1q9JgOOWYSez9RIKJsUNbjYTRxYIur7NUIt6RQ8TsqagvSodMdTBFAEajAjxGvfKTiFNp4lQ9ausALXHAED8xw/s1024/_5d196fd2-5bf7-47de-8c97-c9c89c49657a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoUwnh4bdTFU2v7_9KmKqwB6TOCeAloSUDlUpS5K0X9A3Bdb-PtgpiwycFIUMWDYVTE4LE1YF0rkarFSpHAnq71RnFEkaVIWe2LAR-b1q9JgOOWYSez9RIKJsUNbjYTRxYIur7NUIt6RQ8TsqagvSodMdTBFAEajAjxGvfKTiFNp4lQ9ausALXHAED8xw/s320/_5d196fd2-5bf7-47de-8c97-c9c89c49657a.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Alabama Connection</h2><p>Okay, before we get into what Petitto's going to bring to Ohio State, let's take it back a bit. This guy spent eight years working under Nick Saban – that's huge! Think about it – grinding with Alabama, chasing down those top recruits, burning the midnight oil watching film, all the crazy energy of Signing Day... Petitto was right there in the thick of it. So yeah, his resume is stacked – star players, championships, and a contact list that probably puts most CEOs to shame. <br /><br />But as Saban hung up his whistle and Kalen DeBoers took the reins, Petitto sensed change in the Alabama air. The writing was on the wall—a new chapter awaited him. And where better to pen it than in the Horseshoe?</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Buckeye Boost</h2><p><a href="https://BrutusReport.com" target="_blank">Ohio State football</a> isn't just a program; it's a legacy. And when Mark Pantoni, the Buckeyes' General Manager/Associate Athletic Director for player personnel, extended an invitation to Petitto, it was like Urban Meyer drawing up a game-winning play. The Buckeyes needed an ace recruiter, a maestro of talent evaluation, and someone who could turn high school prospects into gridiron gladiators. Petitto fit the bill.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Recruiting Trail Lights Up</h2><p>Though the ink hasn't dried on the official contract, the buzz is palpable. Petitto's arrival is sending shockwaves through the recruiting world. Five-star <a href="https://efilmroom.com/Video-Vault/Video-Vault-Details/ArticleId/3246/Devin-Sanchezs-Dilemma-Unveiling-the-Choice-of-the-Nations-Top-Cornerback-in-the-Class-of-2025" target="_blank">cornerback Devin Sanchez</a>'s mother, Dee, put it best: "You don't meet people like Sam Petitto often." The excitement is contagious, like a stadium wave during the fourth quarter. Families are already envisioning their sons donning the scarlet helmet, fueled by Petitto's passion and expertise.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Conclusion: A New Era Dawns</h2><p>As the sun rises over the Shoe, Sam Petitto steps onto the Ohio State campus. He brings with him the wisdom of Tuscaloosa, the hunger for excellence, and a relentless pursuit of greatness. Buckeye fans, get ready. The recruiting trail just got a little more crimson, a little more electric, and a lot more exciting. Welcome home, Sam. The Horseshoe awaits your magic.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">(c) BrutusReport.BlogSpot.com A collection of <a href="http://BrutusReport.com">Ohio State</a> and related <a href="http://BrutusReport.BlogSpot.com">Sports stories</a> from around the Internet.</div>Steve Pattersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029879578185959944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2097839272778273465.post-87706572929598371392024-02-14T20:19:00.000-08:002024-02-14T20:19:59.959-08:00Buckeye Bombshell: Holtmann Out, Buckeyes in Flux <p> Columbus, OH - Boom! Just like that, the <a href="https://brutusreport.com/articles/latest/latest-articles-detail/articleid/2835/chris-holtmann-joins-the-buckeyes-as-coach" target="_blank">Chris Holtmann</a> era at Ohio State is over. Gone are the memories of Sweet Sixteen runs and Big Ten titles, replaced by the sting of a 9-loss skid and a program adrift. Well, Buckeye Nation, if you thought Valentine's Day was gonna be awkward, hold my chocolate-covered pretzel because things just got spicy in Columbus. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCV2Iqor1YWr9RYX-5ZvOTPqyM5fDMb8aZJoafe8Ph4ebKqml7_J3QYiO1hxZQ44R-OoLrKOJav_xNT_YsHurBI7OaBaqMefBCcyhyphenhyphen3oP8N8mDfDqiuYWFM-82Ce8LqQaDQiNFj88M7qNYc9Lh8wv0NhhSaFDwBRbNVmO6wgr4JeZCZE3Idhn7-6nfKOU/s1600/ChrisHoltmann.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCV2Iqor1YWr9RYX-5ZvOTPqyM5fDMb8aZJoafe8Ph4ebKqml7_J3QYiO1hxZQ44R-OoLrKOJav_xNT_YsHurBI7OaBaqMefBCcyhyphenhyphen3oP8N8mDfDqiuYWFM-82Ce8LqQaDQiNFj88M7qNYc9Lh8wv0NhhSaFDwBRbNVmO6wgr4JeZCZE3Idhn7-6nfKOU/s320/ChrisHoltmann.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />Sure, Holtmann leaves with a respectable 137-86 record, but let's face it, the last two years were a Buckeye blender, churning out inconsistency and leaving fans with a bitter taste. After a 107-56 start, that 30-30 record over the past two seasons is a stat nobody wants hanging over their program.<br /><br />Wednesday's loss to Wisconsin was the final nail in the coffin. Nine losses in 11 games? That ain't gonna cut it in Columbus, baby.

Jones, originally committed to Nebraska as the crown jewel of their 2024 defensive line class, recently made headlines by de-committing and reopening his recruitment.

Meet Leroy Roker, a 6-foot, 1-inch, 170-pound athlete from Florida, who has recently received an enticing offer from the Buckeyes to join their ranks as a safety. While <a href="https://247sports.com/player/leroy-roker-46143693/" target="_blank">his offer list</a> might not be as extensive as some of his peers, with Iowa being the only other Power-Five scholarship in his pocket, Roker's journey to Ohio State promises to be an intriguing one.<br /><br />Roker is not your typical one-sport wonder; he's a multi-talented athlete who dabbles in basketball and excels in track and field events. During his junior year at Canterbury, he showcased his prowess on the basketball court by averaging an impressive 17.1 points per game, along with 5.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2 steals per game. That's a player who brings a diverse skill set to the gridiron.<br /><br />His basketball skills have not only earned him accolades but also a spot on the AAU circuit, where he represented Team Marreese Speights. His journey through the hardwood has seen him score over 1,000 career points in varsity competition, a testament to his dedication and talent.<br /><br />But it's not just his basketball finesse that caught the eye of Ohio State's recruiting team. Roker's 2023 transfer to Bishop Verot set the stage for a remarkable senior season. In his debut game for Bishop Verot, he made an immediate impact, scoring a jaw-dropping 70-yard receiving touchdown. That, however, was just the beginning of his heroics on the field. Roker also showcased his defensive prowess by tallying an impressive 5 tackles, 2 interceptions, and a pass breakup in a resounding 56-21 victory over Port Charlotte.<br /><br />His versatility extends to his junior year at Fort Myers Canterbury, where he split his time between running back and defensive back. This ability to adapt and excel in multiple positions speaks volumes about Roker's football IQ and athleticism.

The young quarterback saw his black stripe ceremoniously removed, a cherished Ohio State tradition that signifies a player's formal induction into the team. This pivotal moment not only attests to Kienholz's personal triumph but also heralds the dawn of a fresh chapter for the Buckeyes.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Embracing Tradition</h3><p>The black stripe tradition stands as a distinctive rite of passage at Ohio State. As newcomers don the Buckeye colors for the first time, a black stripe is affixed to their helmets. The removal of this stripe serves as a public proclamation by the coaching staff and fellow teammates, affirming that the player embodies the dedication, skill, and Buckeye spirit requisite to stand as a true representative of Ohio State on the gridiron.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Eager Anticipation</h3><p>With the <a href="https://www.stack.com/a/losing-your-black-stripe-inside-one-of-ohio-state-footballs-coolest-traditions/" target="_blank">removal of his black stripe</a>, Kienholz is now unequivocally a Buckeye. Stepping into the potential quarterback role for the future, expectations run high. However, judging by Kienholz's performance up to this point, it's clear that he's not just ready to meet those expectations – he's likely to surpass them with flying colors.<br /><br />In Summation, Lincoln Kienholz's voyage as an official Buckeye is just commencing. As he takes the field, devoid of the symbolic black stripe, he carries with him the aspirations and aspirations of Buckeye Nation.

The echoes of tradition and the weight of expectations converge as Coach Ryan Day makes a resolute choice, designating <a href="https://www.efilmroom.com/Video-Vault/Video-Vault-Details/ArticleId/3131/Devin-Brown-Ohio-State-Quarterback" target="_blank">Kyle McCord</a> as the quarterback to lead the charge in the season opener against Indiana.</p><p>In the heart of Hoosier country, the football intellects at Indiana have been delving into the annals of history, meticulously analyzing the high school tape of Ohio State's quarterbacks. Their preparation is an embodiment of the meticulousness demanded by the game, a testament to the ceaseless commitment that underpins the gridiron battles.<br /><br />For Indiana's new quarterback, the stage is set for a baptism by fire. Saturday (3:30pm on CBS), stepping into the spotlight demands not only skill but also an unflinching courage to navigate the pressure-laden moments and emerge stronger from the crucible of competition.<br /><br />Amidst the palpable excitement, a pivotal subplot unfolds: the ascension of Brian Hartline to the role of coordinator.<br /><br />On the front lines, the Buckeyes' center position finds its anchor in <a href="https://fryingpansports.com/ohio-state-carson-hinzman-offensive-center-for-2022/" target="_blank">Carson Hinzman</a>. With the resolute decision to start Hinzman over the experienced Louisiana-Monroe transfer Vic Cutler, Coach Day demonstrates his penchant for bold choices as Ohio State sets sail on its opening voyage.<br /><br />As the Buckeyes gear up to extend their impressive 27-game winning streak against the Hoosiers, history stands as their steadfast ally. This remarkable streak, a towering testament to their conference supremacy, outshines all others by a margin of 16 games. Amongst the tapestry of triumphs against conference rivals, only three streaks have managed to breach the double-digit threshold: Indiana (27), Minnesota (11), and Northwestern (10).<br /><br />Yet, even within the realm of unparalleled success, intriguing odds surface. The scarlet and gray contenders for glory find themselves with slightly longer odds to clinch the national championship than their arch-rivals, the Michigan Wolverines. The irony is undeniable; a narrative that defies conventional wisdom. Given Michigan's recent back-to-back triumphs in the Big Ten, logic would dictate shorter odds for them. However, the whims of fate and the unpredictable essence of football continue to keep the odds makers on their toes.</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmGIfI_y3cOf1svHFVkQ1gRTl33wfbMC-tv2upTRjl2ph-Z7AMaD3AO1G_kSITUT6c8yDdnm5qAG5LxXHuLINzHd0D4GkOGDH9JDNFJyKQC0f3catFk3C24JAFtXydeRbCPIx0al0wOz80tLlOiimL-g1k13HW6FfaU97ZrP9kO7COYWsEyKLLqpdZ4H8/s3000/MarvinHarrisonJr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1947" data-original-width="3000" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmGIfI_y3cOf1svHFVkQ1gRTl33wfbMC-tv2upTRjl2ph-Z7AMaD3AO1G_kSITUT6c8yDdnm5qAG5LxXHuLINzHd0D4GkOGDH9JDNFJyKQC0f3catFk3C24JAFtXydeRbCPIx0al0wOz80tLlOiimL-g1k13HW6FfaU97ZrP9kO7COYWsEyKLLqpdZ4H8/s320/MarvinHarrisonJr.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer">(c) BrutusReport.BlogSpot.com A collection of <a href="http://BrutusReport.com">Ohio State</a> and related <a href="http://BrutusReport.BlogSpot.com">Sports stories</a> from around the Internet.</div>Steve Pattersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029879578185959944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2097839272778273465.post-89212827046715724962023-08-10T13:34:00.002-07:002023-08-10T13:34:32.666-07:00Wide Receiver Jeremiah McClellan Set to Commit on August 13th<p> Buckle up, Buckeye Nation, because we're about to take another exhilarating ride on the recruiting roller coaster!

The team will most likely need to find a temporary home for at least one season, although the exact timeline for the renovations is still unknown. In the NFL, many teams have had to play in other stadiums while their own were being renovated or rebuilt, so this is not uncommon. Due to its size, location, and history, Ohio Stadium, also known as "The Horseshoe," is one of the leading contenders for the Browns' temporary home.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The advantages of Ohio Stadium as an alternative location for a while.</h2><p>As a possible temporary home for the Cleveland Browns, Ohio Stadium, which is also known as "The Horseshoe," offers numerous advantages. It is one of the largest stadiums in the nation thanks to its capacity of over 100,000 seats. The Browns would be able to accommodate their large fan base and possibly even attract new Columbus-area fans thanks to this. Additionally, Ohio Stadium is close to Cleveland, making it easy for the team and their supporters to get there. Last but not least, the stadium has a long and illustrious history, having previously played host to a few NFL games as well as numerous famous college football games. The Browns and their supporters would have an exciting and one-of-a-kind experience playing in such a historic venue.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Expected difficulties and answers for utilizing Ohio Arena.</h2><p>Although Ohio Stadium may appear to be the ideal temporary home for the Cleveland Browns, there are potential difficulties that must be resolved. The field surface, which is currently artificial turf, is a major issue. The Browns have generally played on regular grass, and numerous players favor this surface. However, for the duration of the Browns' stay at Ohio Stadium, temporary grass may be installed. Moving the team and their equipment to and from Cleveland for games presents another obstacle. The solution to this problem might be to schedule games in blocks so that the team only has to travel once every few weeks. Overall, using Ohio Stadium as a temporary home has some drawbacks, but there are also ways to make it possible for the Browns to use it.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Ohio Stadium's significance and history.</h2><p>Ohio Arena, otherwise called "The Horseshoe," is a noteworthy and famous scene situated on the grounds of The Ohio State College in Columbus, Ohio. Since its initial opening in 1922, it has undergone numerous renovations and expansions, including the addition of luxurious suites and a huge scoreboard. One of the largest college football stadiums in the nation, the stadium has more than 100,000 seats. It has facilitated various significant occasions, including numerous Large Ten titles and a few public title games. The Ohio State Buckeyes football team, one of the most successful programs in college football history, also plays at the stadium.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Other possibilities for the Cleveland Browns' temporary home.</h2><p>Ohio Stadium is one of the top contenders for the Cleveland Browns' possible temporary home, but there are also other possibilities being looked into. The Browns' current home stadium, FirstEnergy Stadium, may undergo renovations to accommodate the team while they construct their new stadium. One more choice is the College of Akron's InfoCision Arena, which has a seating limit of north of 30,000 and is found a little more than an hour from Cleveland. In the end, the choice will be made based on a number of things, like cost, logistics, and how fans feel.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">(c) BrutusReport.BlogSpot.com A collection of <a href="http://BrutusReport.com">Ohio State</a> and related <a href="http://BrutusReport.BlogSpot.com">Sports stories</a> from around the Internet.</div>Steve Pattersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029879578185959944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2097839272778273465.post-5207997874187198192023-04-16T14:08:00.002-07:002023-04-16T14:08:15.362-07:00 Pickerington North's Sam Williams-Dixon Commits to Ohio State for 2024<p>Sam Williams-Dixon, the star running back for Pickerington North, has decided to attend <a href="https://BrutusReport.com" target="_blank">Ohio State</a> for the 2024 season.

He has acknowledged that any injured players would make it more difficult for OSU to participate in these events should they qualify.<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ-B0O7mbgCsQ8fNBxUrbs6kUAtMD48gmDAxta6YAyF1ob5wDYRqfgEGissqYX3hqbphv7LsXYaMGvyC4Ie9_JoFBbpnexP3kWcylh0xfYs6EmQmzUAgDeetmMev2j-iCt_X1ikB8MyALYss8avGtItlkY0k9evftuJDlI-SgAf6Ui0aizCjiHoIgg/s1920/NIT.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ-B0O7mbgCsQ8fNBxUrbs6kUAtMD48gmDAxta6YAyF1ob5wDYRqfgEGissqYX3hqbphv7LsXYaMGvyC4Ie9_JoFBbpnexP3kWcylh0xfYs6EmQmzUAgDeetmMev2j-iCt_X1ikB8MyALYss8avGtItlkY0k9evftuJDlI-SgAf6Ui0aizCjiHoIgg/s320/NIT.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">Overview of Chris Holtmann's Statement.</h2><p>On Saturday, amidst the rumours of undisclosed injuries on the roster, Head Coach Chris Holtmann released a statement discussing the effects these potential ailments could have on any potential postseason events. He acknowledged that in certain situations, any injured players would make it more difficult to qualify for play-in tournaments and that the team was preparing accordingly. He has also expressed his hope that Ohio State will still be able to participate should they earn a bid.<br /><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Breakdown of OSU's Injury Situation.</h2><p>According to Coach Holtmann, the undisclosed injuries facing the team could put their chances of participating in the NCAA Tournament or NIT at risk. He did stress that these rumors are just that and are yet to be confirmed. In light of this, however, he has stated that they will continue to prepare as if they could potentially be affected by these injuries, which may mean relying more heavily on healthy players in an effort to give them a better chance at earning a postseason bid.<br /><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Potential Postseason Options for the Buckeyes Despite Injuries and Rumors.</h2><p>Despite the rumors, the Buckeyes are preparing for a possible postseason bid, especially in light of the potential injuries that may plague their roster. They remain hopeful to make the NCAA tournament but will investigate all other postseason opportunities, including the NIT and CBI tournaments, should they not reach it via traditional qualification. The team is making sure to reduce the impact of any potential injuries on their postseason options and maximizing opportunities presented by healthy players throughout their final games.<br /><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Supporting Evidence About Teams Impacted By Injuries Faring Well in Postseason Play. </h2><p>Over the past few years, numerous teams have had to juggle their lineup due to injuries and have still managed to survive in the postseason. It may not be easy, but there are measures that can be taken in order to maximize a team's chances of success despite injuries. For example, 2017’s Louisville Cardinals entered NIT play after missing star freshman center Brian Bowen due to an undisclosed injury. By emphasizing star performance from Deng Adel, they were able to make it all the way to the final game. This shows that even if players are unavailable, a team is still capable of winning with correct player positioning and strategy.<br /><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Conclusion: Why OSU Shouldn't Worry About What Lies Ahead Despite Any Unknowable Factors.</h2><p>Even if there are undisclosed injuries that may limit the Buckeyes' postseason options, they shouldn't let it affect their preparations. With a little creative player positioning and game plan adaptation, the team can still find success in any tournament they choose to participate in. The key is being willing to play with whatever hand you're dealt, so there's no need for OSU to dwell on potential issues that could come up down the road.<br /><br /><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">(c) BrutusReport.BlogSpot.com A collection of <a href="http://BrutusReport.com">Ohio State</a> and related <a href="http://BrutusReport.BlogSpot.com">Sports stories</a> from around the Internet.</div>Steve Pattersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029879578185959944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2097839272778273465.post-17580631840471995242023-03-05T11:27:00.011-08:002023-03-05T13:26:01.472-08:00Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament 2023<p> The Big Ten Women's basketball tournament is an exciting event that takes place every year.

Hillmon averaged 25.1 points and 11.3 rebounds per game last season, while Walker averaged 8.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.<br /><br />Overall, the 2023 Big Ten Women's basketball tournament promises to be a thrilling competition featuring some of the best teams and players in the country.<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIxBSGn5Ybyd1ffDD0IAVu_xLwss7KgXundt0T3_n2joI9TOmkxGx5N66UoT2rMnViV-Z2gRXI18skHsGPE5XGNWnK0O-TYWpwDXSduUost5pqYetZmTqr0FQZ6FB-3jVwkod7jiaeAUSuqlme5nTcXwhanPD1i9Cj5JX6-3KaZBMIjiRwVCcdVR-m/s1080/OhioStateWomensBasketball.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIxBSGn5Ybyd1ffDD0IAVu_xLwss7KgXundt0T3_n2joI9TOmkxGx5N66UoT2rMnViV-Z2gRXI18skHsGPE5XGNWnK0O-TYWpwDXSduUost5pqYetZmTqr0FQZ6FB-3jVwkod7jiaeAUSuqlme5nTcXwhanPD1i9Cj5JX6-3KaZBMIjiRwVCcdVR-m/s320/OhioStateWomensBasketball.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br />The Buckeyes finished fourth in the Big Ten last season and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.<br /><br /><a href="https://brutusreport.com" target="_blank">Ohio State</a> is led by head coach <a href="https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/coach/kevin-mcguff/" target="_blank">Kevin McGuff</a>, who has been with the team since 2013.

Votteler has previously worked as the general manager at Marshall, and his experience in football programs, particularly in the areas of player personnel and video, may have contributed to his hiring for this new role at Ohio State. It will be interesting to see how he contributes to the Buckeyes' football program in the future.<br /><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlyNOqfiamvkKuhaWOtdYhoQaEzOgJk4FmqmldBV6qbyGu94p-5vCj233E_bI_N6J4neW6rooSLYCH6FEGhhNcifDZTZgWdTXu8vy_4q_ZOvFJMrf0Ymwk2HLk9LgJdDLJK5nv_CtFbpr47S2clWnSEHJGqDCLZzp_VukL_0GM_-1sTimGwBIiXsX1/s400/Marc%20Votteler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="300" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlyNOqfiamvkKuhaWOtdYhoQaEzOgJk4FmqmldBV6qbyGu94p-5vCj233E_bI_N6J4neW6rooSLYCH6FEGhhNcifDZTZgWdTXu8vy_4q_ZOvFJMrf0Ymwk2HLk9LgJdDLJK5nv_CtFbpr47S2clWnSEHJGqDCLZzp_VukL_0GM_-1sTimGwBIiXsX1/s320/Marc%20Votteler.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>Votteler has held various roles related to football programs, particularly in the areas of player personnel and video. His most recent role was as the Marshall GM for just over a year, from January 2022 to the present. Prior to that, he worked at several different universities, including Alabama, the University of Central Florida, and Tennessee. It's possible that his diverse experience in football programs has contributed to his expertise in the field.<br /><br />Votteler will be working closely with Mark <a href="https://brutusreport.com/articles/latest/latest-articles-detail/articleid/2866/cade-kacherski-becomes-preferred-walk-on-at-ohio-state" target="_blank">Pantoni</a> and likely playing a key role in the management and recruitment of Ohio State's football team.

Erin Dunston will be responsible for managing on-campus recruiting visits as the on-campus recruiting director, and Billy Homer will oversee the transfer portal. Together, these individuals will play important roles in shaping Ohio State's recruiting strategy and identifying the most promising recruits to join the Buckeyes' football program. By working together effectively, this team will help ensure that Ohio State is able to attract and retain top talent, and maintain its status as a leading college football program.<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer">(c) BrutusReport.BlogSpot.com A collection of <a href="http://BrutusReport.com">Ohio State</a> and related <a href="http://BrutusReport.BlogSpot.com">Sports stories</a> from around the Internet.</div>Steve Pattersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029879578185959944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2097839272778273465.post-19434124190287437442023-02-10T07:59:00.004-08:002023-02-10T08:32:49.060-08:00Nick Bosa Named NFL's Defensive Player of the Year<p> Nick Bosa is making waves in the NFL: he has been named Defensive Player of the Year for the 2022 season!

By saying that it's a team sport and that he just does his job, Bosa is giving credit to his teammates and coaches for their contributions to his success. He's also highlighting the fact that he sees his role as simply doing his part to help the team win.<br /><br />This type of attitude is typical of many successful athletes and is a testament to the character of Nick Bosa.
