2007 Media Guide: Is the Buckeyes’ leading returning receiver … gave the Buckeyes depth at wide receiver last year and now moves into the spotlight … became an integral part of the passing attack last year … has outstanding speed and quickness, is blessed with good hands and has demonstrated a knack for finding the open seam in the defense … coaches like his presence and command of the game.
