The lowdown: The Buckeyes senior came in as a major recruit out of Glenville High and started seven games at safety as a sophomore in 2006 after an injury to Anderson Russell. As a junior and senior, his action has been limited to special teams, but when talking to draft analysts and scouts recently, his name came up as a player who could have a shot at getting to an NFL camp as a late-round pick or free agent. At 6-1 and 205 pounds, he still has the athleticism that could help fill out an NFL roster.

Best concert I've been to: "I've never been to a concert ever in my life. I always wanted to go, but I have been to comedy shows. Dave Chappelle was funny. He was here, I want to say my freshman year, the student union threw it for us. I thought that was funny. And the weekend of Thanksgiving I'm going to go see Mike Epps down here, so that should be pretty cool."

Concert I'd most like to see now: "I really like Lil Wayne, but Jay- Z is probably my favorite rapper. So probably Jay- Z."

Favorite video game: "I love Nintendo Wii, that's my favorite system. I only got a few games, because I just got it. But Mario Kart is it. They got a steering wheel for it, so it takes you back to the old days."

Favorite Web site: "Actually, this is just a shout-out to [former OSU fullback] Dionte Johnson. He has his own site called Kingsrowe.com. He has a bunch of different things going on throughout the world, and he likes to put a lot of different jokes from YouTube on there. It's a nice site ."

Favorite NFL team and why: " Cleveland Browns , definitely. I never had a team I was a diehard for, but growing up in Ohio, you've got either the Bengals or the Browns, and I never really got that close to the Bengals, so I was always with the Browns."

My position coach yells at me when: "I blitz when I'm not supposed to blitz in practice. I did that the other day, and we joked about it afterward. They told me whatever play it was, and I blitzed, and he was like, you're not supposed to go. I wasn't supposed to blitz, but the hole opened up, and I got to [the quarterback]."
