Ohio State, with all its football tradition, is just two hours down the road from Greg McMullen's hometown of Akron.
The Horseshoe. Ohio State vs. Michigan. A bunch of Big Ten championships.
Ohio State was the first program to offer a scholarship to McMullen, a four-star defensive end who moves surprisingly well for someone who is 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds. McMullen was only a sophomore and Jim Tressel was still coach when the offer came.
McMullen came to Lincoln for a football camp last summer and liked the program enough he was one of the first players to commit to the Huskers' 2012 recruiting class. McMullen will make it official Wednesday when he signs a letter of intent.
