What do you guys know about this Ray Small of the Buckeyes? There was a short story about him on my local news tonight, because he caught his first collegiate touchdown last week. I'm guessing he's a freshman, right? They say he went to the same high school as Troy Smith and Ted Ginn, and apparently some are dubbing him "The Next Ted Ginn" already. So how good is the kid?

Lefty: The following information appears on the OSU football roster page, with regard to Small.

Buckeye Bits: Ranked Ohio's top all-purpose "athlete" prospect coming out of high school ... ranked the No. 7 wide receiver in the nation ... is another Glenville standout who could provide footage for the highlight tape much like Ted Ginn Jr. ... Ginn Sr., Glenville coach, says Small is the most talented receiver he has coached.
High School: Caught 35 passes for 521 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior ... first-team All-Ohio in 2005 ... returned 13 punts for 292 yards and two touchdowns and returned three kickoffs for 270 yards and two touchdowns ... rushed 13 times for 175 yards and a TD ... collected 24 tackles and seven assists and totaled two interceptions, six pass break-ups and a sack ... named the league MVP and has been picked to play in the Big 33 Game ... had 429 yards receiving and three touchdowns on 33 grabs as a junior and carried the football 26 times for 241 yards and three more scores

Thanks for the info, chsbletz. Ginn's dad said that Small was the most talented receiver he'd ever coached -- even more talented than Ginn? That's a surprise. Can't wait to see what this kid can do during the next couple of seasons.
