• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, tom Or the ball State game in
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: eighty six days. The game against Michigan had one hundred
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and seventy days. I want to give it a thanks

  Speaker 1: camps now in the books. Buckeyes had a really impressive
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Thursday at the What He Has Athletics arm joined by
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Tony Gerdterman of Buckeye Insiders dot com. Tony, I think
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the story of the day to me was the quarterback.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: So that's what we're going to be talking about on
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this show. Three guys in particular. First one, I wanted
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to talk about Graham Simpson. That may not be a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: name that jumps out to Ohio State fans as in aha,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I know who that is. You may be familiar with
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the work of his older brother Ty Simpson.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Graham is here today along with his dad and
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I believe his mom. They're throwing around, throwing it around.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: It's always interesting because he's not the biggest guy. I
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: think he's maybe listed at like five eleven and a
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: half six foot, but he throws it very well and
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: there are good offers out there, and it's always interesting
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: when Ohio States shows an interest in somebody who's not
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: your ideal quarterback height and then you see him like, Okay,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I understand why the interest is there. And again this
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: is not just Ohio State's interest and what I believe,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: they took him back after camp to talk to him
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: even further.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and his dad. If you are not familiar with
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the Ty Simpson's story, his dad, Jason, is the head
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: coach at U T.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Martin.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: So this is the you know, not just the figurative
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: son of a coach, the literal son of a coach,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: where you know, it's a little like RJ. Day, where
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you figure, this is someone who's going to be coming
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to you very very well coached up, mechanically, very sound,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you know old you know, checking all those boxes and yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I mean stronger arm than you might think, pretty accurate.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Arm did a nice job, and they did do those
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: one inch drolls where they're trying to throw the ball
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: one inch over the screen. That's a drill that a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: lot of guys will struck, but with he looked pretty
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: comfortable with that and kind of makes all the throws.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, clearly he's been doing this for a while.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, And so there you go.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: That is one person that wanted to talk about the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: other one number two at least James Armstrong. That was
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: someone that you got a chance to talk to after camp.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to him because he really impressed me.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: He's from Pennsylvania and Mobile, he said today he checked
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: in at six two two twenty five. But he's like,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: but I also have measured in at six two and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a half at other camps.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Like I like your stock or you're standing in a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: little bit of a divot today.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: But he threw the ball well, threw it strong, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: there are some gusts here today. We dodged the weather,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: but the wind was kind of an issue at times.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: He was able to cut through the wind. Talked about
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: how he could.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Throw it with velocity with just his arm, but he
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: was learning today he uses the rest of your body
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to get into it. And I asked him, like, so,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: what other parts of your game do you like. He's like,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I'm a mobile guy.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I like to run.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And they did a lot of the mobile throwing, the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: running throwing on the run today and he said he
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: likes Ohio State that they'll change the offense around to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: suit the quarterback. He does not yet have an Ohio
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: State offer. He's got Penn State, he's got Auburn, He's
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: got offers like that. I asked him what an offer
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: from Ohio State would do. Need said it would shake
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: some things up for him for sure.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Ohio State has not been thrown out a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: ton of offers on quarterbacks. This is not specific to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: any of these individual guys. It has just Ay've been
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: sort of slow playing this process a little bit more.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: One other guy that was that was here, that was
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: he's listed at six to five and having you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I was I did not get a chance to ask
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: him how much he measured in at but watching him,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, he looks like he's ever a bit
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of six'. Five it Was Titus heward out Of.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Colorado, yeah he looks like the prototype, quarterback strong Arm
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: West coast, quarterback and he was throwing the ball through
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the wind as. Well he had a big. Arm Was
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: they were thrown some long balls today and he didn't
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: have any issues with. Those some of the other quarterbacks.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Did he did, Not and certainly looks like he's going
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to be a high level college football.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Recruits.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah and one other guy that we should mention real,

  Speaker 3: That BUT i Know i've Seen i've watched a lot
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Of Ohio.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: State you, know you can't really, miss and so they
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: definitely change up their offense based on their.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: QUARTERBACK i know they had Justin fields more of a.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Runner Julian sam's more pocket, passer but he can also
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: move to so they they're really good at changing what
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: they do based on the quarterback that they, have so
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: that gives me a.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Lot of confidence THAT i like to.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: RUN i want to run the, ball so WHENEVER i
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: IF i were to come, here THEN i would want
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: them to change it for me, too IF i eventually
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: got the chance to. Start so definitely is just great
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: to see how they can maneuver the offense based on
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: the person out in any sense of.
