High School: Considered one of the top defensive backs in the country … committed to Ohio State early and enrolled in school at the beginning of Winter Quarter (Jan. 6) so he could take part in winter conditioning and spring practice … moved to safety in the spring and is No. 2 on the depth chart … great athlete and real hitter … rated as the No. 1 overall prospect in the Midwest and the seventh-best in the nation by SuperPrep … rated as the third-best cornerback in the nation by Rivals.com … SuperPrep All-American … played in the U.S. Army Bowl over Christmas break … credited with 87 tackles and had three interceptions as a junior … 60 tackles as a senior include 10 tackles-for-loss, three picks and four forced fumbles … scored 14 touchdowns as a junior and had nine TD receptions as a senior … 13 career interceptions … recruited by all the national powerhouses … also excels in the classroom … high school coach was Ted Ginn.
