Greene with envy…OSU’stalent scout in the Northeast, Bill Greene, is a man of strong convictions and possesses an unerring eye for unearthing high school football talent. He turned OSU on to super athlete (and recent Buckeye commit) Devon Torrence when Devon was but a sophomore. And who is the latest talent that has Bill slathering and pitching woo? Well, you don’t have to go far down the hallway in the Torrence house. Not only do I love his description of Devon’s younger brother, Devoe, you have to love Devoe’s description of his love for Ohio State. Here’s what Bill had to say recently:
He's playing at a level that I haven't seen out of a junior around here since Mike Doss. He's easily the best player in Stark County, better than Gamble, Dailey, Morgan Williams or brother Devon. OSU, Michigan, Penn State, Texas and USC are but a few that are contacting Canton South. He's been on the field with 4 members of Duane's Top-100 seniors and has outperformed all of them, including Devon, Sean Baker of Canfield and Garner and Ifft of Dover.
He's 6'2" and 215 pounds playing primarily WR on offense, a position he knows nothing about, but South is in the spread and he has to be on the field. Last night he had 123 yards receiving in the first half. I told Duane I thought he was going to break the school record for receiving yardage, but they moved him to TB on the opening drive of the 2nd half. In 3 carries he went for 15, 19 and a 35 yard TD run. He ended up with over 120 yards rushing and 140 yards pass receiving on a total of only 15 touches.
On defense he's the best LB in the state regardless of class. I've always thought MLB but he's too athletic to waste in the middle. I see Will linebacker in his future but he could end up a TB. He will be a national recruit.
He's just like his brother when it comes to college----"List? Ohio State is my list."
Would you call that “Devoe-tion”?
