Explaining why Ohio State's replacement for Joey Bosa against Virginia Tech won't be one of its outside linebackers. Watch video

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- We haven't been able to watch more than 40 minutes of an Ohio State practice in the early stages of training camp. Those 40 minutes include a lot of stretching, running over pads and coaches whacking ballcarriers with giant foam bats.

Riveting stuff.

So any assumptions about what certain players are working on during practice would be just that, assumptions. Here's a wild one: Linebacker Joshua Perry is probably working out at linebacker.

Yeah, that's obvious. But it bears saying after Urban Meyer threw out Perry's name on Monday as a possible replacement for Joey Bosa at defenseive end for the opener against Virginia Tech, a game Bosa and three other Buckeyes will miss for violating athletic department policy.

"(Sam) Hubbard, you have Jalyn Holmes and you have Darius Slade," Meyer said, all names you'd expect to hear as possible fill-ins at defensive end. "You got a big kid named Josh Perry who can do some things for us if we decide to change things up a bit."

Perry? At defensive end? Meyer said that Monday and you're just hearing about it here on Thursday? Yes, because as intriguing or exciting that kind of move might seem, it's not something worth getting excited over right now.

The point Meyer was making is that the goal is to get the best 11 players on the field at the same time. That's the goal in Columbus. It's also the goal for every college, high school, middle school and pee-wee team gearing up for their seasons right now. That Meyer would want that simply makes him like every other football coach.

So maybe the thought did pop into his head. Perry, a big-bodied linebacker, putting his hand on the ground and playing defensive end, and that thought came out of Meyer's mouth on Monday. But it's not that simple.

"Those guys work on it all the time, the amount of time they devote during practice is huge, so I'm already behind the curve in that respect," Perry said. "Pass rush for linebackers as opposed to guys who play up on the line is a little different. As linebackers we go mostly against tight ends and running backs, sometimes we'll get a center or a guard. Those guys are going against tackles, so you have to be able to go against all those guys and make transitions. It's tough.

"Things tend to happen a little bit quicker too when you're closer to the line, you don't have that element of surprise or speed coming from deep. You have to work on that too and develop some power moves."

Linebacker Joshua Perry led the Buckeyes in tackles in 2014, but a move to defensive end seems unlikely. Marvin Fong, The Plain Dealer 

Like Braxton Miller switching to receiver, Meyer can't simply snap his fingers and have a guy make a seamless position change. Miller has traits that will help, and Perry has traits that could help him at defensive end. It's the subtle differences that make the position change difficult.

Perry broke it down. That's a lot for a guy to work on while also making sure he's ready to play his actual position as an outside linebacker alongside Raekwon McMillan and Darron Lee.

Maybe there's a scenario where Perry plays closer to the line. Maybe in a nickel situation where Ohio State subs out a defensive tackle, lets McMillan and Lee play out in space, and moves Perry up because the staff deems Perry more important to that particular situation than a guy like Tommy Schutt.

"Whatever they want me to do I'll be able to do," Perry said. "We haven't installed anything, we haven't talked about it too much or anything, but I'm open to it all.

This isn't a knock on Perry's athleticism. He played basketball and ran track in high school, and was good at both. He led the Buckeyes in tackles last season and showed he can be a relentless pursuer of the football. But the last time he put his hand on the ground was in high school, and then only a few times.

Ohio State has backup defensive ends in Hubbard and Holmes. They're young, untested players, but guys Meyer has talked up and who are expected to rotate into the line even when Bosa is playing. If those guys aren't who they're projected to be, then maybe moving Perry to defensive end is the next step.

But the best version of Ohio State's defense has Perry playing the position where he's most comfortable.

"I'll tell you what, I haven't seen him pitch live since college and if he would have pitched like that, maybe we would have gotten to the College World Series," Johnson said. "It would have been nice. He's a stud. It's fun to watch."

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A handful of former Stetson University baseball players maintain a group text message thread, years after they played together at the Florida school.

Corey Kluber chimes in every once in a while.

"That's how he is," said Chris Johnson, Kluber's former college teammate and his newest major league teammate. "That's him. He's a quiet kid."

From that perspective, Kluber hasn't changed much. He's grown quite a bit on the mound, though.

Johnson grew up in Naples, Fla. He saw flashes of brilliance from the right-hander while at Stetson. Johnson, who batted .379 with 19 home runs in his two college seasons, played first base behind Kluber in 2005 and 2006. He was a fourth-round draft choice (129th overall) by the Houston Astros in 2006.

Kluber posted a 7.82 ERA over 25 1/3 innings in 2005, his first year with the Hatters. The following season, he logged a 3.61 ERA while limiting the opposition to 78 hits in 92 1/3 frames.

"You definitely could see the potential in college," Johnson said. "I think the difference between now and then, obviously some of his stuff is a little bit sharper. I don't think he threw that cutter in college. He just really knows how to pitch. He attacks the zone and I think that's what makes him so good."

Kluber went 12-2 with a 2.05 ERA and 117 strikeouts in 114 innings in 2007. That year, the San Diego Padres selected him in the fourth round (134rd overall) of the amateur draft. Seven years later, he captured the American League Cy Young Award with the Indians.

"He was pretty good in college, too," Johnson said, "but obviously not this good."

For the first time in nearly a decade, Johnson stood in the infield as Kluber toed the rubber. On Sunday, with Johnson manning first bace, Kluber tossed a complete-game three-hitter. He held Minnesota to one run and he walked one and struck out 10. It was a familiar sight for Johnson.

"I'll tell you what, I haven't seen him pitch live since college and if he would have pitched like that, maybe we would have gotten to the College World Series," Johnson said. "It would have been nice. He's a stud. It's fun to watch."

Brecksville comes in at No. 15 in the cleveland.com high school football Preseason Top 25 countdown. See preview content as well a video and slideshow.

BROADVIEW HEIGHTS, Ohio – The cleveland.com high school football Preseason Top 25 countdown continues today with the unveiling of Northeast Ohio's No. 15 team, the Brecksville Bees.

Check cleveland.com/hssports daily as the Top 25 is revealed one team per day, leading up to the announcement of the area's top-ranked team on Aug. 27.  

Here is more on Brecksville's football team as it enters the 2015 season, which begins at home against Padua on Aug. 28. 

PREVIOUSLY: No. 25 Madison, No. 24 Elyria, No. 23 Wadsworth, No. 22 Highland, No. 21 North Olmsted, No. 20 Cleveland Heights, No. 19 Hudson, No. 18 Lorain, No. 17 Nordonia and No. 16 Maple Heights.

5 keys for winning the Suburban League

1. Aerial attack: Brecksville has the luxury of a returning quarterback in junior Luke Strnad and two senior wideouts in All-Ohioan and Ohio University commit Tyler Tupa along with Danny Shirilla. Both were among Strnad's top receiving targets last year. 

2. Great blockers: Seniors Nick Sokolowski and Andrew Siegman combined with junior Jon Baltas and sophomore Cole Costanzo provide the foundation for one of the best offensive lines in the Suburban League.

3. Loaded secondary: Tupa, Shirilla, Niall Lewison and Joey McGonegal provide the Bees with top-notch pass protection that will leave opposing quarterbacks little margin for error. Lewison earned second team All-SWC last year. 

4. Defending the run: As good as Brecksville's O-line is, the team's defensive front is equally strong. Sokolowski leads in size and experience while Ryder Seballos brings quickness and proved extremely effective on defense despite being only 5-10, 170 pounds. He is a team captain who earned Honorable Mention All-SWC last season.

5. Stay healthy: Brecksville does not have a deep bench and cannot afford many injuries to a veteran core of starters.

Scout report

Strengths: Brecksville has a tremendous amount of experience with eight returning starters on offense and defense, making the Bees among the best in the region in that category. With Strnad back under center and Tupa and Shirilla again as his go-to targets, Brecksville's passing attack will be potent. The offensive and defensive lines contain just as much varsity know-how. Sokolowski, Siegman and Baltas are imposing blockers who should provide Underwood open running lanes while giving Strnad plenty of pass protection. Tupa, Shirilla, Lewison and McGonegal bring tremendous skill and experience to the secondary.  

Concerns: While the Bees are heavy on varsity experience, it is imperative their starters stay healthy as the team, by coach Jason Black's assessment, lacks some depth. This being the Bees' first year in the Suburban League, they will face five teams for the first time. 

Key stats from 2014: 

Bottom line: Brecksville coach Jason Black thinks senior wide receiver Tyler Tupa may be the most talented Tupa brother of the three. Having coached Tom and Tim, he should know. Between Tupa, returning senior QB Luke Strnad and senior wideout Danny Shirilla, the Bees will have one of, if not the best, passing games in the Suburban League. They have an experienced core of blockers, including seniors Nick Sokolowski and Andrew Siegman as well as junior Jon Baltas and sophomore Cole Costanzo. The Bees are sound defensively with 3-year starters Sokolowski, Shirilla and Tupa leading the way on the line and in the secondary.

Cleveland sports fans wonder about camouflage jerseys, hardball negotiations and whether Nick Swisher will soon suffer from a case of tired arms -- Bud Shaw's You Said It.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- You Said It is based on the premise that the only thing Cleveland sports fans need more than a championship is a sense of humor...

 YOU SAID IT

Bud: Are the Browns' 'camouflage' practice jerseys an attempt by the team to confuse the Patriots' 'drone operator'? - Jim Corrigan, Fairview Park

Under the increasingly watchful eye of the NFL, the Pats have done away with all their drones except for Bill Belichick.

Bud: Good to see the Tribe on a little run. For a while there, the only folks in town playing hardball were Tristan Thompson and the Cavs - Vince G. Cincinnati

Who knew the way to start hitting was to get rid of your hitters. Channeling Yogi Berra, maybe nobody goes to Progressive Field anymore because it's too crowded.

Hey Bud: What's a worse decision? Former Browns' GM Tom Heckert passing on J.J Watt for Phil Taylor, or Shapiro/Antonetti passing on Mike Trout for Alex White, or you going to journalism school and putting  "words into action" - Devin, Concord

Some days, all of those you mention finish a distant second to my decision to come up with a reader participation column. But not today, of course.

Bud: You have printed one of my five submissions, so I am batting .200.  Does that qualify me to be the Tribe's DH? - Loren Gordon, Cleveland Heights

Not curently. But based on some early practices in Berea, don't let go of the dream of playing quarterback for the Browns.

Bud: Prior to the recent trade, did Chris Antonetti confirm that Nick Swisher could spell G-E-O-R-G-I-A with his arms? - Chas K

You Said It winners enter a state of euphoria.

Bud: At least we didn't sign Justin Masterson - Aunt Mil

Some repeat You Said It winners adjust to losing their fastball.

Offers came from Air Force, Akron, Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Fordham, Indiana State, Kent State, Kentucky, Navy, Ohio University, Robert Morris, St. Francis (Pa.), Toledo and Western Michigan. 

Commitment: Verbally committed to Buffalo in July, 2015. 

Insiders say: 

"He is one of the fastest players in Ohio. Plays both sides of the football for Brush, although most schools are recruiting him as a slot receiver. He is also a dangerous return man, and can play cornerback." - Bill Greene, Scout.com

"Although blessed with great speed, Overton also has the strength needed to play at the next level." - Bill Greene, Scout.com

Breakdown of campus visits

Buffalo: I went down with my family and just had a great visit. The coaching staff was excited to have me and I love what they're doing with the program there. It's on the come-up and that's something I want to be a part of. All the coaches seemed to have personalities that I could connect with and I feel like they can get the best out of me and that's something that was really important to me. 

OFF THE FOOTBALL FIELD

Who are your personal role models? My family. My mother and father, sister and brother. They're always pushing me to do my best on and off the field and telling me that you can always do better and do great things. 

Outside of football, what is your favorite sport in which to compete? I ran track during my freshman year at Glenville in the 4x100 and enjoyed that very much. I also play basketball in my free time with friends. 

What is the biggest difference between being an athlete at Brush as opposed to Glenville? It's pretty much the same. Both teams have a lot of talent. It's all just playing together and flying around the field. 

What is your greatest accomplishment as an athlete? Probably making it to the state playoffs my sophomore year. It was just such a great feeling to know that we made it. We lost in the first round but that's just something I knew would stick with me forever, the fact that I played in the playoffs. 

If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would it be? Kobe Bryant. I just love his determination and the killer instinct that he has.

Links to every player page to date:

Jordan Overton, Brush: The Buffalo commit has speed and athleticism that enables him to play all over the field. He specializes as a slot receiver and a return man for Brush who is also an effective pass protector at defensive back. While not particularly big at 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, Overton is deceptively strong, enabling him to break tackles when needed, though he prefers to use his quickness to blow by people when he has the ball. 

Zach Bycznski, Berea-Midpark: A Cincinnati recruit, Bycznski is the anchor of the Berea-Midpark offensive line, which helps protect senior QB Nick Gassman. Bycznski is a physical lineman with the strength at almost 300 lbs to be a strong run blocker in the interior of the Titans' offensive line. With the help of Bycznski, the Titans made the playoffs in only their second season after the merger of Berea and Midpark.

Kyle Tomshack, St. Edward: Smart, big and strong is a good way to describe Tomshack. Not only is he ranked No. 1 in his class academically, he’s perhaps the team’s strongest player. Combine that with great footwork - and his 6-foot-3, 305-pound frame - and you have the makings of a superb lineman. He was a key member of the Eagles' offensive line during last season's state championship drive. Entering 2015 he had Division I offers from Cornell and Davidson, among others.

Max Potokar, St. Edward: Potokar has terrific size for a lineman, as he stands at 6-foot-6, 315 pounds. St. Edward is bringing in a new quarterback to go along with a brand new group of receivers. However, all-state running back Cole Gest is back, which means that the Eagles are going to rely heavily on the ground game. Look for Potokar to play a huge role this season, and look for him to garner a lot more attention from colleges throughout the season.

Michael O'Malley, St. Edward: The Eagles had a lot of stars on the team last season, but it was O'Malley who really showed up in the biggest games. This season, he will have an expanded role, especially on the defensive side of the ball. He has great athleticism for a defensive lineman, and his play will help a team bringing in many new players in the back seven.

Dakari Carter, Streetsboro: With his reputation for being one of the fastest athletes in Northeast Ohio, the junior Rocket perfectly represents his school's mascot. His speed gives college scouts cause to overlook his small stature. Carter is a versatile two-way player -- an impact player at wide receiver, cornerback and on kickoff and punt returns. He holds five Division I offers heading into the 2015 season and will likely get several more before his senior year. 

Lance Billings, Clearview: The Clearview senior has been an impact player in each of the last two seasons, where he earned All-Ohio honors twice as a wide receiver. Billings, an Iowa recruit at defensive back, is very capable on the defensive side after recording three interceptions in 2014 and returning two for touchdowns. At 5-11, Billings is a fast athlete with the ball skills to excel on both sides of the ball.

Alex Mathews, Mentor: Mathews has offers from Air Force, Colgate and Harvard, and with Cardinals coach Steve Trivisonno saying the senior will carry the load this season, expect him to give recruiters an eyeful. He has been a mainstay of the Mentor offense the last two seasons, and as a junior  in a pass-first offense rushed for 938 yards and 15 TDs. He was second-team All-Northeast Lakes District last season. Expect Mathews rushing numbers, district placement and number of Division I offers to all rise this season.

DeMann Wilson, Glenville: The senior Tarblooder could make for a interesting story this season with no offers on the table, but talent to show. According to Scout.com, Ohio State, Purdue and Pitt have expressed interest in having Wilson. The senior linebacker and defensive end has given opposing quarterbacks and linemen problems standing at 6-3 and weighing in at 215-pounds.

Jonah Morris, Archbishop Hoban: The Knights senior ranks among Northeast Ohio's tallest top targets at 6-foot-4, with quickness and elusiveness to match his stature. Morris had a breakout season in 2014 and committed earlier this year to Michigan State. He stands to put up even more impressive numbers in 2015 with the addition of quarterback Danny Clark (an Ohio State commit) to the Hoban lineup.

Joey Johnson, John Adams: The senior athlete plays on both sides of the football and remains a player still under the radar. Johnson is projected to do really well this season and has attracted interested from a handful of MAC schools so far. Last season he threw for 510 yards as a quarterback, but on defense had 17 total tackles. Johnson is quiet on the field, but his play on the field speaks loudly.

Niko Lalos, St. Vincent-St. Mary: The 6-foot-5, 230-pounder impressed in his first full season on varsity last season. The senior did some of his best work on defense where he recorded 61 tackles, including a couple of sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery. In addition to defensive end and and linebacker, Lalos is also likely to see a fair amount of playing time at wide receiver and tight end this year. 

Joey Bachie, Berea-Midpark: The senior linebacker and Michigan State recruit is the anchor of Berea-Midpark's defense with the speed to be a disruptive force. Bachie attacks the play well defensively and makes sure to finish each play effectively. With a 4.5-second 40-yard-dash time, Bachie is very athletic and is a true playmaker on defense.

Javonte Richardson, Maple Heights: At 6-foot-4, Richardson is a big target with great hands at receiver. He helped Maple Heights reach the postseason last year. Although his future is at receiver, he can play all over the field for the Mustangs. He has three Division I offers and Big Ten interest.

John Todd, Parma: The 6-foot-3, 305-pound offensive tackle is touted as the best lineman from Parma in more than 30 years by coach Bruce Saban. He received his first Division I offer from Davidson, but after doing the summer camp circuit following his junior season, Todd is hopeful more offers come in. Excellent athleticism and footwork are Todd’s strengths. He graded out at more than 95 percent each game of his junior year.

Logan Bolin, Midview: The Middies' senior wide receiver has had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and was the top target of QB Dustin Crum in 2014 where he caught 87 passes for 1,410 yards and 18 touchdowns. At 6-foot-2, Bolin has the ability win one-on-one battles against most defensive backs, particularly in jump ball situations. Bolin has offers from Air Force and Davidson.

Tyrone Chambers, Brush: The Arcs' enormous defensive tackle has been on the recruiting radar since his sophomore season. He registered seven sacks and 35 tackles in 2014 and has drawn offers from Akron, Bowling Green and Toledo. Chambers, who has been scouted by nearly every Big Ten school, says he plans to visit Michigan State and Ohio State soon.

Terek Zingale, Nordonia: An overpowering tackle, Zingale was one of the reasons why Nordonia's offense clicked all the way to reaching the Division II state championship game last December. Colleges took notice of Zingale, and during the off-season, he verbally committed to Maryland.

Jatairis Grant, Akron Garfield: The rising senior is a back-to-back all-district member selling voters on his explosiveness as defensive back. The 6-foot-1 Toledo commit is quick and gives coaches a versatile player on the field. He received offers from Ball State, Bowling Green, Buffalo, Cincinnati, James Madison, Kent State, Miami (OH) and Ohio University. He also plays receiver, punt returner and punter for the Rams.

Zach Corrigall, St. Vincent-St. Mary: Corrigall is a Kent State commit who prides himself on his relentless work ethic and willingness to always look for ways to improve various aspects of his game. His strength and dedication to his craft of protecting his quarterback and opening up holes for his running backs make him a cornerstone of the Irish's offense as the team looks to make another deep playoff run after a state semifinal appearance last year and state titles in 2012 and 2013. 

Dustin Crum, Midview: A sophomore in 2014, Crum helped lead Midview to a 12-1 record and had almost 4,500 yards of total offense. He threw for 3,323 yards and 39 touchdowns, and rushed for 1,175 yards and 17 scores. Crum is the type of quarterback who is just as capable of making plays with his legs as he is with his arm. With the Middies moving into the Southwestern Conference, Crum will be one of many top quarterbacks in the 10-team league.

Anthony Johnson Jr., Euclid: The transfer from Cleveland Heights is one of the top defensive back prospects in Ohio and holds nine Division I offers. Rated three stars by multiple recruiting services, Johnson is a tall defender able to cover man-to-man and make the big hit. He’s expected to make his college choice before the end of July, with his finalists narrowed down to Cincinnati, Kentucky and Toledo. He has offers from most Mid-American Conference schools.

Kierre Hawkins, Maple Heights: An Ohio State commit, Hawkins is the focal point of the Maple Heights offense. Although he is projected as a tight end or a receiver in college, Hawkins sees the majority of his work out of the backfield for the Mustangs. He helped take the team to the playoffs last season.

Carlos Chavis, Lorain: Now the focal running back on the team, Chavis could be in store for a huge junior year. In a limited role last season, he rushed for 836 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has the ability to read the hole, while also taking it the distance at any given moment. Look for Chavis to start to get some offers during his junior campaign.

Cameron Odom, Bedford: The Ohio University commit is a speedy runner both on the track and on the football field. He can also catch the football. With Odom having such Bedford alumni members and pro football receivers such as Chris Chambers and Lee Evans, he's in good company to blossom as a wide out.

Tyler Tupa, Brecksville: Tupa, an Ohio commit, is a senior receiver with a knack for hauling in passes and finding the endzone. Tupa also has received scholarship offers from Kent State and Bowling Green. He's part of the Tupa family, which has experienced a lot of football success, including his father, Tom, who played in the NFL as a punter. Last season, Tyler Tupa had 17 receiving touchdowns for Brecksville.

Nick Sokolowski, Brecksville: The senior is a cornerstone of the Bees' defense and has begun to catch the attention of more college scouts but still is regarded as somewhat underrated. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound defensive end possesses quick feet and agility in addition to size and strength. He has a Division I offer from Bowling Green and has taken unofficial visits to Toledo and Cincinnati. Other big name schools such as Purdue also have expressed interest in what Sokolowski has to offer. 

Jack Wohlabaugh, Walsh Jesuit: Wohlabaugh, an Ohio State commit, is a heady and athletic interior lineman who finishes off every play. He is the son of former Browns center and nine-year NFL veteran Dave Wohlabaugh, and last season he displayed the savvy and leadership that comes with having a father who started 128 professional games. Wohlabaugh is nasty and aggressive, smart and strategic.

Tony Butler, St. Edward: The senior is the main holdover from a defensive backfield that dominated opponents during last season’s Division I state championship season. Originally a Pitt commit, he recently decommitted to pursue other offers. A rarity as a 6-foot-2 defensive back, Butler is a three-star prospect and likely to be the Eagles defender opposing quarterbacks try to avoid most this season.

Cole Gest, St. Edward: The three-star running back is undersized, but the Indiana commit has impressed talent evaluators with his speed and physicality. Heading into last season, it was the passing game of St. Edward that had opponents' focus, and Gest exploited them. This year, it will be the opposite as opposing defenses will add another defender in the box to try and stop the talented senior.

Jake Sopko, Avon: The senior quarterback committed to Cincinnati in May. He led the Eagles to a 10-2 record and the Division II regional semifinals last season, throwing for 2,864 yards and 25 touchdowns. He was a first-team All-Northeast Lakes District selection.

Chawntez Moss, Bedford: The senior running back committed to Pittsburgh in April. Moss led the Bearcats in rushing last season, with more than 2,000 yards and 25 touchdowns, and was selected as a cleveland.com All-Star. Moss helped lead Bedford to a perfect regular season and playoff run that ended with a 34-32 loss to Mayfield in a Division II regional final.

Nik Urban, Willoughby South: The senior offensive guard committed to Northwestern in April. He opened eyes during a dominant junior season in which the cleveland.com All-Star selection's play helping allow teammate D.J. Greene to rush for 1,900 yards and 26 touchdowns. Urban has 10 offers in all, including fellow Big Ten members Illinois and Maryland. He is a consensus three-star prospect among the main national recruiting services. 

Luke Farrell, Perry: The senior TE has 14 Division I offers after three spectacular seasons for the Pirates. As a junior, Farrell caught 43 passes for 730 yards and six touchdowns, upping his career totals to 91 catches for 1,544 yards and 12 touchdowns. As a DE, he recorded 19 solo tackles and 21 assists last season as well as 10 sacks. He has 198 total tackles in over the last three seasons including 68 as a sophomore, of which 40 were solo tackles. Imposing size, speed and strength and the will to continue to improve on those aspects make Farrell a promising collegiate prospect. 

Demario McCall, North Ridgeville: The senior RB is an Ohio State commit after two outstanding full seasons for the Rangers. As a junior, McCall rushed for 2,302 yards and 35 touchdowns, and caught 14 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown. He has 60 touchdowns in two seasons. McCall is a game-breaker because of his speed and elusiveness in the open field. Any time he touches the ball, he is a threat to get into the end zone.

A.J. Rose, Garfield Heights: The senior QB/RB holds more than 13 Division I offers, including Minnesota and Syracuse. Rose committed to Kentucky in February. Scouts like Rose's size and speed, combined with his ability to run through tacklers at the line of scrimmage. Last year, Rose rushed for more than 700 yards and 12 touchdowns while passing for more than 600 yards and 10 scores.

Here's what Danny Salazar, manager Terry Francona and Roberto Perez had to say about the Indians 2-1 victory over the Yankees on Wednesday night at Progressive Field. Watch video

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Pitchers aren't supposed to catch pop ups. They're supposed to run the other way when the ball is hit in the air in their zip code.

After all, catching pop ups is a job for professionals.

Not Danny Salazar. He went after the ball in the most critical inning of Wednesday night's 2-1 victory over the Yankees at Progressive Field.

Salazar had a 2-1 lead with one out in the seventh and runners on second and third base when Didi Gregorius skied a pitch in front of the plate. Catcher Roberto Perez never saw the ball and stayed behind the plate with his arm outstretched - the international distress signal of a ballplayer who has no idea where the baseball is.

Third baseman Giovanny Urshela was steaming in from third and calling for the ball. Chris Johnson was coming in from first.

"Urshela called for that ball," said Salazar. "I was going for the ball just in case. I saw Perez and he didn't see the ball. I heard Urshela, but I was there and I just put my glove up and caught it."

What did Urshela say to you?

"He said, 'Hey, that's mine. You need to get out of there,'" said Salazar with a laugh. "I should have let Urshela catch it, but I caught it."

Perez on the pop up.

"With a guy on third, I was concentrating on blocking the ball. I was looking down and never saw the ball. Salazar made the catch, but thank God it was an automatic out because of the infield fly rule." (Editorial note: the infield fly rule was not in play with runners on second and third and one out. The infield fly rule applies when there's one out with runners on first and second or one out and the bases loaded).

After Salazar retired Gregorius for the second out, he still had to face Chris Young with the game in the balance. He struck him out on a 0-2 change up.

"I threw the pitch Perez called," said Salazar. "I wasn't shaking off any pitches he called because he was doing a great job out there."

Salazar pitched into the eighth, but walked Brett Gardner and Chase Headley with one out to bring closer Cody Allen into the game. Allen got Alex Rodriguez to roll into a 6-4-3 double play.

"I was sitting in the dugout just hoping for that," said Salazar. "When it happened, I jumped up and almost hit my head on the dugout ceiling. That was huge."

On the pitch Brian McCann hit for a homer in the second inning to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead.

"It was a two-seamer. It was supposed to be inside, but it broke too much and ended up in the middle of the plate. It was down, but he's a low-ball hitter and he hit it good."

On facing the Yankees for the first time in his career.

"I was nervous. They are a really good team. They have a lot of tough guys to face, a lot of lefties.

"Growing up in the Dominican Republic, the Yankees and Boston are the two big teams. I wasn't a fan of either one."

Manager Terry Francona on Salazar.

"He gave up a solo homer and it seems when Danny does that, he reaches back for that other gear. Early on they hit some fly balls and I think the ballpark, fortunately, was playing pretty big.

"But you look up in the eighth inning and he's still pitching and has only given up one run. We'll take that every time."

On Salazar getting out of the seventh-inning jam.

"We were in a tough spot. You got a guy who can run at the plate (Young). You can potentially walk somebody, but you're asking for trouble. We're looking for basically a strikeout.

"We got a pop up on the infield and that's pretty fortunate. He made good pitches and he kept the lead. To win a 2-1 game a lot of good things had to happen."

What did you think of your defense?

"We've done a really good job and it's noticeable. And it's not just the defense. It's Roberto Perez going first to third and Jose Ramirez following him into second. It's Carlos Santana moving up on a ball in the dirt and then going to third. Those are the things, where on a night where we're not scoring very much, at least we give ourselves a chance."

Explanation: Perez went from first to third on Ramirez's single to left in the third inning. Ramirez took second on the throw to third. In the fourth, Santana singled, took second on a wild pitch and advanced to third on a heads up play on Urshela's slow bouncer to shortstop.

On Perez's catching abilities.

"He sits back there and catches the ball really well and he throws as well as anybody. Now that he's been through the league a few times, he's seen the hitters. That's one of his strengths."

Explanation: Perez threw out Gardner on an attempted steal of second base after Gardner opened the inning with a single.

On rookie shortstop Francisco Lindor's improved performance at the plate.

"He had one nine-pitch at-bat tonight. Maybe a month ago, he would have swung and missed at some of those pitches. Now he's fighting them off, staying alive, until he gets a pitch he can hit. It's extremely encouraging.

"He looks like he's gaining confidence by the day and he should."

Explanation: Lindor advanced Ramirez with a sacrifice bunt in the first inning. In the third, he worked CC Sabathia for a nine-pitch walk to load the bases with one out. He singled home a run in the fifth inning to tie the score, 1-1.

Are you getting a deeper look at Abraham Almonte to see what he can do as a hitter?

"It was nice to see him get a hit right-handed because I definitely think he's a better hitter left-handed. He certainly has more power.

"But from the limited sample size, he pays attention to detail. He hustles his rear end off and I think he's excited about his opportunity and wants to make the most of it. We're excited about him."

Explanation: Almonte, hitting right-handed against Sabathia, drove in the winning run with a single in the sixth inning Wednesday. The Indians acquired him from San Diego on July 31 for Marc Rzepczynski.

Why didn't Michael Brantley play on Wednesday night?

"He played 16 innings Tuesday night and CC has been pretty tough on him."

Explanation: Brantley is 1-for-11 with six straight against Sabathia."

Adriana Aviles was diagnosed with leukemia in May. She and her sister, Maiya, will trek to the mound on Thursday evening.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Mike Aviles' twin 4-year-old daughters will throw out ceremonial first pitches prior to Thursday's series finale between the Indians and the Yankees.

Adriana Aviles was diagnosed with leukemia in May. She and her sister, Maiya, will trek to the mound on Thursday evening.

In the weeks after Adriana's diagnosis, a movement spread throughout the Indians' organization in her support, as teammates, coaches and front-office executives shaved or buzzed their heads. Aviles himself buzzed owner Paul Dolan's head in the home dugout before a game.

"It was a chance to show Mike that beyond hits and errors and runs, we care about him and his family," Francona said at the time. "It may be a silly way to show it, but I think the feeling is very legitimate and genuine."

In mid-June, members of the organization sported orange "Team Adriana" shirts as they gathered in the Progressive Field seats adjacent to the dugout for a team photo.

Aviles has twice spent time this season on the league's family medical emergency list. Adriana has received treatment at the Cleveland Clinic.

"It's heartbreaking," Francona said earlier this season, "to anyone who has children and I don't even think you need to have children."

Other horsemen might shy away from racing on tight half-mile tracks, but Wiggle It Jiggleit owner George Teague Jr. embraces the challenge with his three-year-old pacing star.

NORTHFIELD, Ohio - George Teague Jr. isn't the least bit shy about racing his star Wiggle It Jiggleit on a half-mile track, as he'll do in the $405,000 Milstein Pace on Friday at Northfield Park, though the vast majority of major stakes are raced on larger ovals.

Some harness horses aren't designed to handle the tight turns, and twice as many of them as on a speedy mile track like New Jersey's famed Meadowlands Racetrack. It takes a savvy driver, as well, with a well-executed game plan.

And a little luck that a horse won't be stuck in traffic, a reason the Milstein Pace is limited to eight three-year-old pacers.

To test Wiggle It Jiggleit's ability to handle a half-mile track, Teague decided in early May to enter him in a race on their hometown track, Delaware's Harrington Raceway. It wasn't a big stakes race. It was Teague's chance to give local fans a peak at the blossoming star and see how the pacer would do on a half-miler.

"I didn't foresee the half-mile track being an issue," said Teague, with a laugh. "I wanted the hometown fans to have a chance to see him race, and he did. Wiggle It Jiggleit gave them a show."

The homebred son of Mr. Wiggles and Mozzi Hanover gave the railbirds a dazzling world-record performance.

Teague's son, Montrell, was in the sulky and had no trouble cruising to the lead off the starting gate. With little prompting, Wiggle It Jiggleit cut loose a blistering 26.4-second opening quarter-mile. He stopped the clock at 54.1 at the half-mile and, with no horse even remotely pushing him, roared to a 1:22 three quarters.

"Montrell didn't ask him to do it, but Wiggle It Jiggleit kept right on going to a 1:49 mile," said Teague. The clocking was a Harrington Raceway track record and a world record for three-year-old pacers on a half-mile track.

The 141/4-length victory was also the eighth straight for the undefeated sophomore. He's now won 14 of 16 races this year heading into the Milstein Pace, and a few bucks shy of $1 million in earnings.

"We didn't really have a game plan going it," Montrell Teague told harnessracingamerica.com. "We definitely weren't planning to go in 1:49. We were using the race as a tightener for his Indiana Sires Stakes on May 23. Without that race he would have been off for three weeks. A tightener for a normal horse ranges from 1:52 to 1:54, but he's far from normal."

George Teague Jr. said Wiggle It Jiggleit is at the top of his game right now, and he's happy to bring him to Northfield Park for the Milstein Pace. He's also considering racing in Ohio's Little Brown Jug on the half-mile oval at the Delaware County Fairgrounds on Sept. 24.

"Northfield Park has a great half-mile track, and there are a lot of really good horses in the Milstein," he said. "We can't take any of these horses lightly."

Clyde Francis is listed as Wiggle It Jiggleit's trainer, but Teague is very involved in the day-to-day workouts.

"I love Clyde like a brother," said Teague. "We've always been friends, and we work very well together. Clyde doesn't work for me. Like I always say, my people and I work together. And he's always done more than anyone else would do for us. I'm always glad to give back to him."

It's a white out at FirstEnergy Stadium as the Browns take the field for the first time in their new white jerseys and white pants.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns take the field for the first time in their brand new uniforms tonight as they host the Washington Redskins in the preseason opener at FirstEnergy Stadium.

With three jerseys and three sets of pants to choose from, the Browns have become the "Oregon Ducks of the NFL" in terms of uniform options. Though, if you were hoping for a return of orange jerseys or pants tonight, you'll have to wait.

The Browns will be wearing the familiar color combination of white jerseys with white pants against Washington. As always, the uniform will be paired with an orange helmet-- the new one features a matte finish with carbon fiber stripes and brown facemask.

The new jerseys feature the word "Cleveland" across the front while the pants have "Browns" written down the sides.

The Browns were only 1-3 in white jerseys and white pants in 2014. Their record in other color combinations last season: 4-2 in brown-white; 2-3 in white-brown and 0-1 in brown-brown.

Tell us what you think of this look and what color combination you'd like to see them wear for their next game at home vs. the Bills next Thursday.

I'm the sort of client Revision Pilates founder Matthew Gregor lives to serve: a body full of misalignments and nagging pains, whose main problem is poor posture.

MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio - What a mess I must have seemed. With all my tightness and clear posture problems, I'm amazed I didn't strike Matthew Gregor, founder of Revision Pilates in Mayfield Heights, as a lost cause.

Then again, I'm the sort of client he lives - and recently established a studio - to serve: a body full of constrictions, misalignments, and nagging pains. A person who, despite being highly active, can't move at all the way he'd like.

So dedicated is Gregor to the cause, in fact, he went out on his own and fabricated custom equipment, so as to have complete control over the cost and benefits of practicing with him. Aside from a Reformer and Cadillac, standard machines in the Pilates realm, all the gear in his studio is of his own design.

I'll say this up front: I'm tempted to invest in a Lifetime Plan. For the first time in recent memory, I saw in Gregor (revisionpilates.com) a trainer who could actually resolve my issues. Given enough time and cooperation by me, I'm certain he could do everything from straighten out my posture to improve my running, cycling and swimming. He might even relieve the aching ankle I sprained three years ago.

To my surprise, Gregor began where I least expected, with my abdomen, site of a common misalignment. Lying on my back, I performed several focused breathing exercises, through which I learned how to operate my diaphragm independently of my pelvis in what he described as a healthy manner that actually strengthens the abs. The trick will be remembering to keep it up.

Next he retaught me how to stand. Most people, Gregor said, especially in the U.S., stand and walk with their pelvises tilted forward, in a perpetual slouch that invites injury and weakness. Far better, he said, to stand truly upright, with a straight pelvis, and to rely more heavily on the large, powerful gluteal muscles, our main propulsion system. Doing so might also open my tight hips, he said.

But if there's one area in which I'm truly messed up, it's my upper body. If I don't do something soon to address all the crazy factors at play there, I'm going to end up a prematurely old-looking man, and have all kinds of problems to boot.

It won't be easy. As Gregor made clear through a range of seemingly simple arm exercises using a custom-made stool and a pair of flexible bands, the only way I'm going to correct years of poor posture and long reliance on overdeveloped trapezius muscles is with concentrated, regular effort. That and a great deal more willpower to consciously pull back my shoulders.

I'm already trying, and seeing improvement. The run I took after visiting Gregor, while actively correcting my posture and not squashing my lungs, was among my fastest of late. I shouldn't have been half as surprised as I was.

Now, besides continuing to work on myself, all I can do is look forward to my follow-up. Next week, on another visit, Gregor promises me a session devoted exclusively to my arms and shoulders.

All this time while my shoulders have been sloping, you see, my arms have gradually been twisting inward, contrary to design. He's going to help open me up. He says it'll feel fantastic, and I have every reason to believe him.

"That might be the biggest threesome in the history of college football in a recruiting class," Warinner said of tackles Branden Bowen, Kevin Feder and Isaiah Prince. Watch video

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State offensive line coach Ed Warinner might have a sore neck by the time this training camp is over. He's not a short man, probably average height, but he'll be looking up a lot.

The Buckeyes brought in five offensive linemen in the 2015 recruiting class, a move to add depth with an eye toward next year when they could potentially lose four starters up front. In the process, they added enough height to make Thad Matta jealous.

Three of those freshmen linemen -- tackles Branden Bowen, Kevin Feder and Isaiah Prince -- are all 6-foot-7 or taller. Feder is a house at 6-foot-9, 305 pounds, the tallest guy on Ohio State's roster. He's taller than nine of the 12 guys on Matta's team.

Wonder if he's got any post moves.

Linemen are large, that's no secret. But Ohio State has taken it to another level with this recruiting class. Grant Schmidt (6-6, 300) and Matthew Burrell (6-4, 300) are the runts of the group.

Warinner has never seen anything like it.

"I don't know who would anywhere," Warinner said. "That might be the biggest threesome in the history of college football in a recruiting class."

He's giddy about his shiny new Slobs.

Bowen is 6-foot-7, 320 pounds, Prince is 6-foot-7, 305 pounds, that's along the lines of the template you're looking for when you're recruiting at a high level and bringing in elite tackle prospects. Bigger is better, but it doesn't make you automatic.

Offensive line is different. You can get a pretty good gauge on running backs or quarterbacks when they're playing in shorts during a 7-on-7. Fast is fast, shifty is shifty. It's tough to figure out a lineman without putting the pads on him and watching him push people around.

So you start with big and athletic, and hope it all comes together when actual football starts. The fact that Prince was the first freshman to lose the black stripe on his helmet suggests that this is more than just a group of guys who look like they could close down a Sizzler.

"When you see how big they are, it's kind of exciting," Warinner said. "They showed up the first day in pads and were ready to go. They weren't intimidated in the environment, (going against) a very good defensive line ... They have pretty high football IQs, it's not like they didn't understand what's going on. I think they all have the whole package."

But being huge, and getting black stripes taken off your helmet four days into training camp doesn't guarantee anything.

Warinner still has to turn that size into viable options for Ohio State up front. That's going to take time. Keep that in mind when you see these guys in person for the first time and start to daydream about what they'll be doing later in their careers.

In the meantime, maybe Warinner can invest in a stepladder.

"You don't know until they get here, until they go through a summer, and probably a season," Warinner said. "Then you find out."

For this edition of cleveland.com's summer-long series of interactive and multimedia football player profile pages covering NCAA recruiting and high school careers, we take a look at Glenville's Marcus Drish.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Welcome to the latest edition of cleveland.com's summer-long series of interactive and multimedia football player profile pages covering NCAA recruiting and high school careers.

The series – Top Targets: NEO’s Best NCAA Recruiting Prospects – will feature 50 dynamic player pages on the biggest football recruits in the region. Look for recruiting profile pages on elite boys and girls basketball players later in the school year, too.

Today's featured athlete, with the debut of his player page, is Glenville football player Marcus Drish.

Player pages include many separate posts. Content includes photo galleries, videos, college offers, career stats, key content about the player by cleveland.com and other media outlets and much more about the prospect on and off the football field.

These pages are rolling out with one posted every Monday through Saturday continuing until Thursday, Aug. 27, the first night games will be played.

Each day there also will be a post like this one with links to find all of the player profile pages that have been published to date. Click on the player’s name below for a direct link to his page. You can also see the most recent football news on the cleveland.com football page. 

Links to every player page to date:

Marcus Drish, Glenville:Drish has some tremendous arm strength and he'll have an opportunity to show it off again this season as the Glenville starting quarterback. Last season, Drish made his debut on the varsity team, but was sidelined after a few weeks into the season after a 19-12 win against Cleveland Heights. Before sitting out, Drish threw 15 passes for 141 yards and ran for 73 yards on 26 carries.

Jordan Overton, Brush: The Buffalo commit has speed and athleticism that enables him to play all over the field. He specializes as a slot receiver and a return man for Brush and is also an effective pass protector at defensive back. While not particularly big at 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, Overton is deceptively strong, enabling him to break tackles when needed, though he prefers to use his quickness to speed by people when he has the ball. 

Zach Bycznski, Berea-Midpark: A Cincinnati recruit, Bycznski is the anchor of the Berea-Midpark offensive line, which helps protect senior QB Nick Gassman. Bycznski is a physical lineman with the strength at almost 300 lbs to be a strong run blocker in the interior of the Titans' offensive line. With the help of Bycznski, the Titans made the playoffs in only their second season after the merger of Berea and Midpark.

Kyle Tomshack, St. Edward: Smart, big and strong is a good way to describe Tomshack. Not only is he ranked No. 1 in his class academically, he’s perhaps the team’s strongest player. Combine that with great footwork - and his 6-foot-3, 305-pound frame - and you have the makings of a superb lineman. He was a key member of the Eagles' offensive line during last season's state championship drive. Entering 2015 he had Division I offers from Cornell and Davidson, among others.

Max Potokar, St. Edward: Potokar has terrific size for a lineman, as he stands at 6-foot-6, 315 pounds. St. Edward is bringing in a new quarterback to go along with a brand new group of receivers. However, all-state running back Cole Gest is back, which means that the Eagles are going to rely heavily on the ground game. Look for Potokar to play a huge role this season, and look for him to garner a lot more attention from colleges throughout the season.

Michael O'Malley, St. Edward: The Eagles had a lot of stars on the team last season, but it was O'Malley who really showed up in the biggest games. This season, he will have an expanded role, especially on the defensive side of the ball. He has great athleticism for a defensive lineman, and his play will help a team bringing in many new players in the back seven.

Dakari Carter, Streetsboro: With his reputation for being one of the fastest athletes in Northeast Ohio, the junior Rocket perfectly represents his school's mascot. His speed gives college scouts cause to overlook his small stature. Carter is a versatile two-way player -- an impact player at wide receiver, cornerback and on kickoff and punt returns. He holds five Division I offers heading into the 2015 season and will likely get several more before his senior year. 

Lance Billings, Clearview: The Clearview senior has been an impact player in each of the last two seasons, where he earned All-Ohio honors twice as a wide receiver. Billings, an Iowa recruit at defensive back, is very capable on the defensive side after recording three interceptions in 2014 and returning two for touchdowns. At 5-11, Billings is a fast athlete with the ball skills to excel on both sides of the ball.

Alex Mathews, Mentor: Mathews has offers from Air Force, Colgate and Harvard, and with Cardinals coach Steve Trivisonno saying the senior will carry the load this season, expect him to give recruiters an eyeful. He has been a mainstay of the Mentor offense the last two seasons, and as a junior  in a pass-first offense rushed for 938 yards and 15 TDs. He was second-team All-Northeast Lakes District last season. Expect Mathews rushing numbers, district placement and number of Division I offers to all rise this season.

DeMann Wilson, Glenville: The senior Tarblooder could make for a interesting story this season with no offers on the table, but talent to show. According to Scout.com, Ohio State, Purdue and Pitt have expressed interest in having Wilson. The senior linebacker and defensive end has given opposing quarterbacks and linemen problems standing at 6-3 and weighing in at 215-pounds.

Jonah Morris, Archbishop Hoban: The Knights senior ranks among Northeast Ohio's tallest top targets at 6-foot-4, with quickness and elusiveness to match his stature. Morris had a breakout season in 2014 and committed earlier this year to Michigan State. He stands to put up even more impressive numbers in 2015 with the addition of quarterback Danny Clark (an Ohio State commit) to the Hoban lineup.

Joey Johnson, John Adams: The senior athlete plays on both sides of the football and remains a player still under the radar. Johnson is projected to do really well this season and has attracted interested from a handful of MAC schools so far. Last season he threw for 510 yards as a quarterback, but on defense had 17 total tackles. Johnson is quiet on the field, but his play on the field speaks loudly.

Niko Lalos, St. Vincent-St. Mary: The 6-foot-5, 230-pounder impressed in his first full season on varsity last season. The senior did some of his best work on defense where he recorded 61 tackles, including a couple of sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery. In addition to defensive end and and linebacker, Lalos is also likely to see a fair amount of playing time at wide receiver and tight end this year. 

Joey Bachie, Berea-Midpark: The senior linebacker and Michigan State recruit is the anchor of Berea-Midpark's defense with the speed to be a disruptive force. Bachie attacks the play well defensively and makes sure to finish each play effectively. With a 4.5-second 40-yard-dash time, Bachie is very athletic and is a true playmaker on defense.

Javonte Richardson, Maple Heights: At 6-foot-4, Richardson is a big target with great hands at receiver. He helped Maple Heights reach the postseason last year. Although his future is at receiver, he can play all over the field for the Mustangs. He has three Division I offers and Big Ten interest.

John Todd, Parma: The 6-foot-3, 305-pound offensive tackle is touted as the best lineman from Parma in more than 30 years by coach Bruce Saban. He received his first Division I offer from Davidson, but after doing the summer camp circuit following his junior season, Todd is hopeful more offers come in. Excellent athleticism and footwork are Todd’s strengths. He graded out at more than 95 percent each game of his junior year.

Logan Bolin, Midview: The Middies' senior wide receiver has had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and was the top target of QB Dustin Crum in 2014 where he caught 87 passes for 1,410 yards and 18 touchdowns. At 6-foot-2, Bolin has the ability win one-on-one battles against most defensive backs, particularly in jump ball situations. Bolin has offers from Air Force and Davidson.

Tyrone Chambers, Brush: The Arcs' enormous defensive tackle has been on the recruiting radar since his sophomore season. He registered seven sacks and 35 tackles in 2014 and has drawn offers from Akron, Bowling Green and Toledo. Chambers, who has been scouted by nearly every Big Ten school, says he plans to visit Michigan State and Ohio State soon.

Terek Zingale, Nordonia: An overpowering tackle, Zingale was one of the reasons why Nordonia's offense clicked all the way to reaching the Division II state championship game last December. Colleges took notice of Zingale, and during the off-season, he verbally committed to Maryland.

Jatairis Grant, Akron Garfield: The rising senior is a back-to-back all-district member selling voters on his explosiveness as defensive back. The 6-foot-1 Toledo commit is quick and gives coaches a versatile player on the field. He received offers from Ball State, Bowling Green, Buffalo, Cincinnati, James Madison, Kent State, Miami (OH) and Ohio University. He also plays receiver, punt returner and punter for the Rams.

Zach Corrigall, St. Vincent-St. Mary: Corrigall is a Kent State commit who prides himself on his relentless work ethic and willingness to always look for ways to improve various aspects of his game. His strength and dedication to his craft of protecting his quarterback and opening up holes for his running backs make him a cornerstone of the Irish's offense as the team looks to make another deep playoff run after a state semifinal appearance last year and state titles in 2012 and 2013. 

Dustin Crum, Midview: A sophomore in 2014, Crum helped lead Midview to a 12-1 record and had almost 4,500 yards of total offense. He threw for 3,323 yards and 39 touchdowns, and rushed for 1,175 yards and 17 scores. Crum is the type of quarterback who is just as capable of making plays with his legs as he is with his arm. With the Middies moving into the Southwestern Conference, Crum will be one of many top quarterbacks in the 10-team league.

Anthony Johnson Jr., Euclid: The transfer from Cleveland Heights is one of the top defensive back prospects in Ohio and holds nine Division I offers. Rated three stars by multiple recruiting services, Johnson is a tall defender able to cover man-to-man and make the big hit. He’s expected to make his college choice before the end of July, with his finalists narrowed down to Cincinnati, Kentucky and Toledo. He has offers from most Mid-American Conference schools.

Kierre Hawkins, Maple Heights: An Ohio State commit, Hawkins is the focal point of the Maple Heights offense. Although he is projected as a tight end or a receiver in college, Hawkins sees the majority of his work out of the backfield for the Mustangs. He helped take the team to the playoffs last season.

Carlos Chavis, Lorain: Now the focal running back on the team, Chavis could be in store for a huge junior year. In a limited role last season, he rushed for 836 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has the ability to read the hole, while also taking it the distance at any given moment. Look for Chavis to start to get some offers during his junior campaign.

Cameron Odom, Bedford: The Ohio University commit is a speedy runner both on the track and on the football field. He can also catch the football. With Odom having such Bedford alumni members and pro football receivers such as Chris Chambers and Lee Evans, he's in good company to blossom as a wide out.

Tyler Tupa, Brecksville: Tupa, an Ohio commit, is a senior receiver with a knack for hauling in passes and finding the endzone. Tupa also has received scholarship offers from Kent State and Bowling Green. He's part of the Tupa family, which has experienced a lot of football success, including his father, Tom, who played in the NFL as a punter. Last season, Tyler Tupa had 17 receiving touchdowns for Brecksville.

Nick Sokolowski, Brecksville: The senior is a cornerstone of the Bees' defense and has begun to catch the attention of more college scouts but still is regarded as somewhat underrated. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound defensive end possesses quick feet and agility in addition to size and strength. He has a Division I offer from Bowling Green and has taken unofficial visits to Toledo and Cincinnati. Other big name schools such as Purdue also have expressed interest in what Sokolowski has to offer. 

Jack Wohlabaugh, Walsh Jesuit: Wohlabaugh, an Ohio State commit, is a heady and athletic interior lineman who finishes off every play. He is the son of former Browns center and nine-year NFL veteran Dave Wohlabaugh, and last season he displayed the savvy and leadership that comes with having a father who started 128 professional games. Wohlabaugh is nasty and aggressive, smart and strategic.

Tony Butler, St. Edward: The senior is the main holdover from a defensive backfield that dominated opponents during last season’s Division I state championship season. Originally a Pitt commit, he recently decommitted to pursue other offers. A rarity as a 6-foot-2 defensive back, Butler is a three-star prospect and likely to be the Eagles defender opposing quarterbacks try to avoid most this season.

Cole Gest, St. Edward: The three-star running back is undersized, but the Indiana commit has impressed talent evaluators with his speed and physicality. Heading into last season, it was the passing game of St. Edward that had opponents' focus, and Gest exploited them. This year, it will be the opposite as opposing defenses will add another defender in the box to try and stop the talented senior.

Jake Sopko, Avon: The senior quarterback committed to Cincinnati in May. He led the Eagles to a 10-2 record and the Division II regional semifinals last season, throwing for 2,864 yards and 25 touchdowns. He was a first-team All-Northeast Lakes District selection.

Chawntez Moss, Bedford: The senior running back committed to Pittsburgh in April. Moss led the Bearcats in rushing last season, with more than 2,000 yards and 25 touchdowns, and was selected as a cleveland.com All-Star. Moss helped lead Bedford to a perfect regular season and playoff run that ended with a 34-32 loss to Mayfield in a Division II regional final.

Nik Urban, Willoughby South: The senior offensive guard committed to Northwestern in April. He opened eyes during a dominant junior season in which the cleveland.com All-Star selection's play helping allow teammate D.J. Greene to rush for 1,900 yards and 26 touchdowns. Urban has 10 offers in all, including fellow Big Ten members Illinois and Maryland. He is a consensus three-star prospect among the main national recruiting services. 

Luke Farrell, Perry: The senior TE has 14 Division I offers after three spectacular seasons for the Pirates. As a junior, Farrell caught 43 passes for 730 yards and six touchdowns, upping his career totals to 91 catches for 1,544 yards and 12 touchdowns. As a DE, he recorded 19 solo tackles and 21 assists last season as well as 10 sacks. He has 198 total tackles in over the last three seasons including 68 as a sophomore, of which 40 were solo tackles. Imposing size, speed and strength and the will to continue to improve on those aspects make Farrell a promising collegiate prospect. 

Demario McCall, North Ridgeville: The senior RB is an Ohio State commit after two outstanding full seasons for the Rangers. As a junior, McCall rushed for 2,302 yards and 35 touchdowns, and caught 14 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown. He has 60 touchdowns in two seasons. McCall is a game-breaker because of his speed and elusiveness in the open field. Any time he touches the ball, he is a threat to get into the end zone.

A.J. Rose, Garfield Heights: The senior QB/RB holds more than 13 Division I offers, including Minnesota and Syracuse. Rose committed to Kentucky in February. Scouts like Rose's size and speed, combined with his ability to run through tacklers at the line of scrimmage. Last year, Rose rushed for more than 700 yards and 12 touchdowns while passing for more than 600 yards and 10 scores.

Here is more on STVM as it enters the 2015 season, which begins at home against Everett (Mich.) on Aug. 28. 

3 keys for making deep playoff run

1. Keep the ball rolling: The Irish have won three Division III regional titles and two state championships the last three seasons. That’s a lot of football – 44 games – for three seasons, and a lot of experience and playing time for returning players. Last season's return to the state semifinals proved that you shouldn't count out the Irish until you see them slow down. And with a six-season playoff streak going, there’s no reason to believe they will take a step back this season.

2. Follow the leaders: The Irish bring back 12 players who started on offense and/or defense last season. That group includes Kent State commit Zach Corrigall on the line, and Division I prospect Niko Lalos at defensive end. Quarterback Dom Davis also returns with darting running back Markus Heard, providing the fuel in the Irish’s spread offense.

3. Take care of business in Region 7: While a seemingly improved Archbishop Hoban joins them in Region 7, the Irish’s assumed roadblocks to a fourth straight regional title seem to be fewer than before. After recent OHSAA division realignment, Aurora is off to Division II, Hubbard is down in Division IV. Toledo Central Catholic remains in Region 8 and will likely battle it out with fellow defending state champion Benedictine.

Scouting report

Strengths: The Irish have plenty of experience. And it’s big-game experience. Returning players at QB, RB and at key spots on both lines, the Irish seem to have the building blocks of another successful season.

Concerns: Not many. The Irish lost LB Pat Oliverio to graduation and defensive back Tyrece Speaight to transfer (Upper Arlington). Both were first-team All-Northeast Ohio Inland District last season.

Key stats from 2014: Davis was 101-of-211 passing for 1,530 yards, 15 TDs, nine INTs. He also rushed for 975 yards and 11 TDs. Hurd had 835 yards rushing/receiving. Lalos had 13 tackles for loss, Kelly had 79 tackles and Farris had four fumble recoveries.

Bottom line: The Irish show no signs of slowing down after three regional crowns and two state titles in the last three years. They have experience on both sides of the ball and know what it takes to make a deep playoff run. Expect a seventh straight playoff appearance. Their fifth win of the season will be coach Dan Boarman his 200^th.

Follow the 2015 PGA Championship second-round leaderboard and get tee times, TV schedule and live streaming. Dustin Johnson is the early leader, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy are in the hunt, and Tiger Woods is struggling again.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The 2015 PGA Championship second round is Friday at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin. Below are our live leaderboard, TV schedule, links to live streaming and tee times, and updates on Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and the rest of the field.

Day 1 was great for Dustin Johnson and not so good for Tiger Woods, who struggled through a profanity-laced round.

Woods missed putt after putt and finished three-over 75 at Whistling Straits. Woods is in danger of missing the cut for a third consecutive major.

But the first day was about Johnson who finished 6-under 66 to take a one-shot lead over David Lingmerth.

Favorite Justin Spieth is 1-under 71 and Rory McIlroy is also 1-under 71.

Johnson is in a familiar position, but he hopes he can reach new territory this weekend. He needs to close out a major championship. He came out strong and fell short in the 2010 U.S. Open, the 2010 PGA Championship, the 2015 U.S. Open and the 2015 British Open. 

2015 PGA Championship TV schedule:

• Today: TNT, 2-8 p.m.
• Saturday: TNT, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. CBS, 2-7 p.m.
• Sunday: TNT, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. CBS 2-7 p.m.
