1993 Media Guide: Expected to start at split end for the Buckeyes … though a fourth-year junior, is still relatively young in terms of game experience but has the talent to be a standout … started the first two games last season before torn knee ligaments ended his season, was a backup in 11 games in 1991 and was redshirted in 1990 … caught two passes for 20 yards in the opener against Louisville last season and one for four yards against Bowling Green before suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the second quarter during a kickoff return … rehabilitation is going well, and he is expected to be full-go in the fall … did not go through the contact drills during spring practice … when healthy, is a key ingredient in the OSU offense because of his excellent speed, good hands and big play potential.

1992 Media Guide: Will take over at flanker and is expected to be a key ingredient in the OSU offensive mix … played split end last year, but was moved to flanker in the spring, a move designed to afford him more opportunities to handle the football … still learning the position, but an undeniable talent who is being counted on to be the Buckeyes’ big play receiver … gave a sneak preview of what he can do in last year’s Hall of Fame Bowl, grabbing six passes for 88 yards … has excellent speed, soft hands and fine concentration … also very good at adjusting his route to the ball … has that extra burst of speed that lets him close on a ball that appears uncatchable … sprained an ankle in the first half of the season opener with Arizona and missed the Louisville game the following week … had his first collegiate reception versus Wisconsin, grabbing two passes for 57 yards … his 44-yard TD reception at Illinois tied the score at 7-7 late in the fourth quarter … had catches in a total of seven games, including the final four games of the 1991 campaign, averaging a squad-best 18.2 yards per catch … will be in the hunt for postseason honors this year if he develops as expected.

1990 Media Guide: One of three wide receivers in this year’s freshman class … rated by most of the recruiting experts as the best wide receiver in the state and one of the top in the Midwest … one of those players who has the speed and athletic ability to help at several positions … should be an excellent special teams player … enjoyed an excellent senior year, averaging 19 yards per reception and winning all-Ohio honors … 32 receptions for 608 yards and eight TDs last year … also returned punts and kickoffs, averaging 15.2 and 26.9 yards per return, respectively, as a senior … also an all-Ohio basketball pick and a standout baseball player.
