2006 Media Guide: Good young athlete who is coming off a solid spring showing, culminating with an excellent spring game … enters the fall listed behind Malcolm Jenkins at the boundary corner, but could also play the field corner … is a smart, competitive player who worked hard during winter conditioning to improve his strength and, as a result, has become much more physical … gives it his all every practice … figures to see a lot of playing time this year, both at corner and with the special teams.

2005: Redshirted, but impressed the coaches right from the start with his ability and desire to learn.

High School: Rated by Rivals.com as the No. 2 wide receiver in Ohio and the No. 10 overall prospect … also ranked by Rivals.com as the 25th-best receiver in the nation … Scout.com rated him No. 21 nationally … caught 35 passes for 500 yards and scored seven touchdowns as a senior … picked off seven passes from his defensive back position as a senior … was a first-team Greater Miami Conference and Middletown Journal All-Area selection as a defensive back … totaled 30 catches and four touchdowns as a junior and added three interceptions … committed to the Buckeyes in August before his senior season … played for Dick Martin.

Personal: Is the son of Carey and Teresa Amos … has an older brother, Chris, who graduated from Miami (Ohio) and another elder brother, Deon, who is currently in the Army … enjoys video games and likes to fish (caught a 21-pound catfish in the summer of 2005 for his biggest catch) … greatest thrill as a Buckeye was traveling to last year’s bowl game … goal is to become a starter and All-America defensive back for OSU.
