Notes:
A three-year starter for the Buckeyes --- Named 1st Team All-Big Ten in 2010 and 2nd Team in 2011 --- Could project to either left or right tackle at the next level --- Arrested for misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia in 2009 and served a two game suspension but the charges were later dismissed due to insufficient evidence --- Was suspended for five games in 2011 and forced to repay $1,000 for selling 2008 Big Ten championship ring --- Boom or Bust type with all of the physical tools and can be as good as he wants to be but may lack the intangibles necessary to ever maximize that immense potential.
