• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the first the first merch he beat me to merch,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: even a merchant the owned to my own company. This
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: is crazy, well done, Juck. Nice looking shirt. We got
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a chance to watch a really impressive group of players
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: at Ohio State camp on Tuesday, including the number one
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: defensive tackle in the country according to some sources, tiz
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: On Swan. He's out of Maryland. Who's a bunch of
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: players from Maryland here? Yeah? Big Maryland bus game by
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So what did you get a chance? You got a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: chance to watch a little ties On Swan. What did
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: you get a chance to see with him?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Well, the first thing I'm doing is comparing him to
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Kellen Hall was the other big time defensive tackle prospect
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: who came in and uh, you know, big kid, but
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: not quite as big as Haul, maybe not quite as quick,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: but I like the competition he plays and watching his
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: film before we got here. He's definitely a dude. But
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: as far as the guys that were out there today,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't really think he quite stood out in the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: way that that that Hall did the previous day that
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we got to see him. But nonetheless, Larry seemed to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: really like him. It's really coached a pretty hard so
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he had some some great time here. And
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: also zion Ellie was also zion Ellie's little brother was here.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Zion Ellie the number one defensive edge from last year,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and they they all came in from Maryland and uh,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you know, it was a pretty pretty solid looking group
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: all in all today at uh with Larry down over
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: there and and Miguel Patrick.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yep, and I got a chance to talk to tays
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: On Swan after the after the camp was over. He
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: really likes Larry Johnson he as a Maryland guy, as
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a defensive lineman from the state of Maryland, big Chase
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Young fan. It will probably not surprise you to learn
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and so the chance to get you know, he get
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: coached by Chase Young's old coach. That helps, you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that's probably a nice, a nice little thing for him.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And he said, he you know, he was here last year,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: really liked the camp here last year, got offered last year,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: felt like, yeah, I got to come back. He listed
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a top group that included Ohio State. It was kind
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of Ohio State, Florida and a couple other SEC schools,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: but Ohio State very much in the you know, in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the picture for him. As we look forward. He's a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. So you still this is not someone
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: who's gonna be signing in December. You're still about eighteen
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: months out. He said he's going to make a decision
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: probably like around this time next year. So nothing imminent there,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: but certainly a player to watch, another player to watch.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: This is my favorite kind of player, one where we
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: generally have a decent list of like, hey watch out
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for this guy, Hey watch out for this guy. I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: did not have Brandon Murphy on my list, and then
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you'll look you're just watching these drills and you're like,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: who the heck is the kid in red? And then
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you look at the rankings and it's like, oh, yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that makes sense. He's kind of like a top one hundred,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: top one fifty kind of player. He's got a really
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: interesting recruiting profile where he's listed as a wide receiver,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: ranked as a linebacker, and was working out with the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: defensive backs today and you watched him with the defensive
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: backs and it was like, yeah, yeah, man, that's a dude.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: That's one of those guys that the assistant coaches fight
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: over who gets him. And he was an absolute dog.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: We had Jay Timmins out here, and Jay Timmins apparently
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: knows him from the Pittsburgh area. He came out here
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: right at the rip and I saw him talking to
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Tim Walton about him and then I'm like, okay, let's
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: see what your buddy has. He blew me away. I mean,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the dude was a dog. He had two consecutive interceptions
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and just the got the handshake from Tim Walton afterwards.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Much respect sir. And he was a bad dude. So yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: definitely a guy from right next door. That is going
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to be a top dude on Walton's board for that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: twenty eight class, i'd imagine.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And just to remind people, j Timmins is the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: true freshman who committed to Ohio State relatively late last cycle.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: He had been committed to Florida State. He's now in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the slot at Ohio State. He's a Western Pennsylvania guy,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So this is another Western Pennsylvania guy. Yeah, and you know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I think Jay Timmins so far has had a very
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: positive experience at Ohio State from what you can what
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you can tell, he seems like he's someone who may
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: factor into the playing time a little bit this fall,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: which that's obviously a very good, very good start for him.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: There was another safety that you thought that you liked
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: out of out of Maryland, right.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, another one of the Maryland posse. Yeah, what the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: heck was his name? Tom?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: We're let you behind it. Yeah, that would be a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: de Niro Gerten was the twenty twenty eight safety.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, So McCreary really took a liking to this kid.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And he again, this is another top one fifty ish
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: in the country and he was definitely early of that ranking.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Just a fluid mover fluid hips. Obviously we don't get
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to see him hit, but I watched this film before
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: we came. He's a he's a dude who brings the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: boom and also pretty tall over six foot similar to
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the guys that Gary has been bringing in recently, like
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: an Eli Johnson. And then most recently we just had
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the official visit or scheduled and then canceled with Seth Williams,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: who was another six foot three guy. So Gary is
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: really looking for some some tall guys. This guy fit
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the profile. But yeah, I really liked his game. And uh,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I think that that's it for the for the dbes,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: those two that I had my eye on.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and so then we got to talk about
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the natural enemy of the defensive backs, the quarterback, Donald
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Tabron or Tapron. He is out of cast Tech, which
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: is that is a a powerhouse high school in Detroit.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: He's the last one we had.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: A Weber was out of there, Damon Webb was out
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of there. But that's a school that has produced a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: ton of talent, and it is a little bit unusual
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that you get them out of.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: State, you get Detroit Glenville.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is very similar to Glenville, where cast Tech
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: is part of the cast Quarter. I'm going to show
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: him off my local Detroit knowledge just north of downtown
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: if you're kind of downtown in those sports arenas and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you go across the highway across seventy five to ninety six,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and it's been a while since I lived there, but
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: it's right, it's kind of right across that right north
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of there, and it is a high school that has
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: proved a ton of talent over the years. And he
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: seems like he is very much sort of the next
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: man up there.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: He's smooth. We're talking. This is five star, top three
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: quarterback in the country, and he definitely has the length.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Talked to him, got the smarts, and we'll air an
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: interview with him. We got about a seven minute you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: he got the got the whole nine from everybody, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I recorded that. And this is a sharp kid who's
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: had media training already. I mean, he's a he's a guy,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: he's an athlete, he's got an arm. He fits the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: profile that if we were to say Billy Fessler and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Ryan Day were to start over and do this class
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: from scratch, this is the guy they would key on
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: because he's got a little more mobility than you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Brady Edmonds in this class. And this is the guy
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that they certainly have keen on for this twenty twenty
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: eight class, along with a guy like Chris Bargas. But
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: he's yeah, he's a dog. He was exciting to watch
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and it certainly will be a guy the factors in
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: big in this twenty eight class at quarterback for the Buckeyes.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And I got to end with a last name that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: we do not definitely typically say on this show and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a position we don't talk about a whole lot on
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: this show. Philip Georgeopolis, a punter out of South Carolina.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: He gave this is one of these things where it
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: is someone I came here and was not thinking, Oh,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to see this guy. I didn't know
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: who he was. And you just watch all these guys punt,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and then there's this one guy who you just go,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: holy smokes. The ball is going fifteen yards farther than
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: anyone else who's here. He's you know, he's kicking it
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: from the far side of midfield and hitting the upright
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: on the goalpost from like the far side of midfield.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, that that is a big leg, so
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: it will not surprised to learn you to learn that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he is a five star punting prospect for twenty twenty seven.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: So just one a name to sort of file away.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: We'll see if you can beat out Kirk Farrans for
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: one of the best punters in the nation. But it
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: was it was you don't often get your head turned
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: by a punter. Yeah, but it was like, all right,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: that is a left left footed punter out of South Carolina,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: an elite punter, not from Australia, of all things, the crazy,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the craziest thing. But yeah, so that one more name
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to just sort of file away for you from forget
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: that one. Yes, there you go, Yes, so there you go.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Five names that we were impressed with at Ohio State Camp.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: On Tuesday. We'll have interviews. Juck mentioned the interview with
• 8:51
