Ohio State Overview: Russell Doup is in his fourth year with the football program, having initially walked on to the team in the fall of 2010 ... he walked-on as a left-footed kicking specialist, but was moved over to play safety last season ... has bulked up about 15 pounds to his current weight ... the pronunciation of his name - it sounds like "wow" with a "d" and a "p" and not "oooh" like soup - caused a minor twitter trend one time when an official player pronunciation guide incorrectly listed it as "Doup like soup."

Vernon H.S. ... basketball and baseball teams won OCC championships ...
