COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — If underclassmen really do learn how to act by mimicking the veteran players, then the Ohio State Buckeyes are in pretty good hands with Mike Brewster in the huddle.
In addition to being the block of granite around which the offense pivots, Brewster is also the team’s emotional and spiritual leader.
Consider the 6-foot-5, 305-pounder the go-to guy for the Buckeyes, whether it’s telling others how to pick up a blitzing linebacker or the best way to handle the bad news that has continually blindsided the Ohio State program the past 10 months.
And now Brewster is headed home. He’s from Orlando, Fla., and figures to be a focal point when the 17th-ranked Buckeyes play at Miami on Saturday night.
