Quotable:
On his final camp as a Buckeye:
“This is probably the only camp I have ever been excited for. Me and my roommate (Kyle Mitchum) were talking this morning. It should be a lot of fun. It is the last one and after this it is on to something else. This is the last time with the guys and this is when you get close to them.”
