Buckeye Bits: Heads into the spring as one of three quarterbacks battling to take over for Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith ... has a quiet demeanor and is a natural leader ... considered one of the top multi-threat quarterback prospects in the nation coming out of high school.

2006 (Redshirt): Spent the season as the scout team quarterback ... learned Ohio State's system and was impressive in drills in practice ... studied Troy Smith in practices and games and was very involved in meetings and film study.

High School: Passed for 2,117 and 30 touchdowns as a senior and was named the 2005 Georgia Offensive Player of the Year ... missed first three games of his senior year and his team lost all three games, but he came back in week four and Peach County went 12-0 the rest of the way to win the Georgia AAA state title ... rushed for 900 yards and 12 touchdowns in two years as the starting quarterback ... honorable mention all-state as a junior when he passed for 1,810 yards and 19 touchdowns with just five interceptions.
