1988 Media Guide: An electrifying runner … has tremendous power, explosive speed and great balance … capable of breaking a game wide open … Ohio State’s second-leading rusher last year with 381 yards on 99 carries … also OSU’s second-leading scorer with six touchdowns (four rushing and two receiving) … celebrated his 19th birthday by scoring four touchdowns against Minnesota (three rushing and one receiving).
1987: Played in nine games and started the last three … biggest play of the year was a 70-yard TD reception and run at Michigan that keyed OSU’s comeback win.
