Sanzenbacher a key get for OSU
Ran across an interesting story on Dane Sanzenbacher this morning, and it describes how the Ohio State junior receiver got to Columbus.
Sanzenbacher, from Toledo Central Catholic, got a scholarship offer from Toledo after he had an impressive junior season: 65 catches for 16 touchdowns on offense and 11 interceptions on defense.
Then, Cleveland Glenville coach Ted Ginn Sr. organized a bus trip of standout incoming seniors, which led to offers from Ohio State and Iowa.
Sanzenbacher has proven to be the Buckeyes’ key down field threat this season. He is averaging 21.6 yards per catch on his 14 receptions, and he leads OSU with four touchdowns.
This from coach Jim Tressel, from The (Toledo) Blade story on Sanzenbacher:
“Dane was obviously a very fast football player, and a guy who knew what was going on out there,” Tressel said. “We were impressed with his competitive nature and his football smarts, and we were convinced he was a quality young man who would be an asset to our program. We’re thrilled to have him.”
He might not be the flashiest guy, and he gets his fair share of grief about the length and pronunciation of his name, but Sanzenbacher has been a key player for Ohio State. And, will continue to be throughout the season.
