Tony Alford and Trey Sermon Always Kept in Touch, Larry Johnson Demonstrates His Teaching Greatness, and People Are Still Sleeping on J.K. Dobbins

QB1 is looking good out there in Chicago.

Word of the Day: Tarry.

NEVER LOST TOUCH. The Buckeyes missed out on Trey Sermon coming out of high school (to be fair, they signed J.K. Dobbins instead, so we don't need to get *too* worked up about the recruiting miss).

But there's a reason he didn't have to think all that hard before choosing to spend his final college season in Columbus – he never lost touch with Tony Alford.

Even after Sermon chose to play elsewhere, Buckeyes running backs coach Tony Alford kept in touch with him — and this helped bring him to Ohio State in 2020.
