Is Todd Boeckman an Ohio sports legend?
Is it right to call Ohio State quarterback Todd Boeckman an Ohio legend?
Ohio High Magazine managing editor Eric Frantz thinks so.
January 5 is my wife’s birthday. It’s also important for another reason. It’s the day an Ohio legend takes the field for one last time as an Ohio State Buckeye. Lest you think Todd Boeckman is not worthy of such praise, think again. And hard.
I have to agree with Frantz. Boeckman was a great athlete at St. Henry, and got a raw deal at Ohio State this season.
On some NFL draft sites before this season, Boeckman was listed as a possible first-round NFL draft pick this spring. Now, he can’t sniff the field.
But it was Tressel’s decision to play Pryor, likely a result (in my opinion) of trying to make good on recruiting promises.
Remember, it was Boeckman who sacrificed several years to start at quarterback for Ohio State behind a Heisman Trophy winner, Troy Smith.
What do you think?
