  From what I have seen they are getting a very good player.
• Cmhs74

  Great game Braylon, congratulations.
• ZalKath

  as an Ohio State fan I envy West Virginia getting Heard...
• kathyjane

  Why did Ohio State not land this kid?

  Mr. Football?
• Mr. 300

  

  Any chance he decommits from WVU????
• killer_ewok

  

  That was, without a doubt, one of the most amazing individual performances I've ever seen in person. Heard is a man. He kicks it into a different gear after that first step or two. Wow.

  Because they didn't offer him a scholarship. Braylon is one of the best backs in the state but obviously doesn't fit into OSU's plans. Maybe they can offer that stud QB from Steuby though.
• Preacher

  That was an amazing effort. How did UC not jump on this kid?
  I understand that OSU can't get every kid in the state but how does a talent like that leave the state?
• Mooney44Cards

  

  UC offered him.

  I wouldn't mind seeing Macon go to OSU as an athlete like Troy Smith did...

  Great speed and vision -saw and took advantage of cut back lanes, but that line blocking for him was just as impressive in my opinion?
• 77Legend

  

  Heard could have fit into OSU's system and plans IMO. Politics us Usual.

  Agreed, the back always gets too much credit and blame. He wasn't even touched on most of his long runs.
• 77Legend

  

  Agreed. For the 1st 5 yards, yes give that credit to the O-Line, but after that was pure speed and vision.
• wgh raider

  77 legend when the Oline is blowing out holes a semi could drive thru the back is on his way.
• ErnieD

  Ohio State doesn't want him so that qualifies as "Politics as usual"?
• kathyjane

  what would Ohio State see that would steer tham away from this kid? Am I missing something?

  That's because most of his long runs came from the option...
• tank2nasty

  Braylon Heard was the second coming of Ray Williams of Benedictine on Friday night!
  
  
  just WOW!!!!!!
• Strapping Young Lad

  

  Let's hope he ends up a little better off than Williams, though....
  
  But, that's what everyone on the Big Red side was thinking Friday, Tank...No doubt.
• skank

  

  Where should the Heard kid have gone to school? Rayen? Liberty?
