Urban Meyer: Rutgers star Leonte Carroo is a “NFL player”

PISCATAWAY – Urban Meyer is impressed with Rutgers star Leonte Carroo on film, but he probably wouldn’t mind skipping the up-close viewing.

“He’s an NFL player,” Ohio State’s three-time national-title winning coach said. “He’s a guy that we have a lot of respect for. A dynamic, big, strong guy. I listened to our coaches on Sunday first, and they started telling me about him, and then I went and watched him myself, and he’s a tremendous player.”

Carroo did not practice Tuesday and Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against No. 1 Ohio State at High Point Solutions Stadium.
