Buckeyes Going To The '09 Draft: #5



5. Marcus Freeman. 6'1" 239. LB.

Freeman's draft stock has dropped since coming back for his 5th year. Before this year he was a fast OLB that could cover in space or rush the quarterback with strength. Even though fellow linebacker James Laurinaitis gets more attention, Freeman is attracting NFL teams with his athletic ability and intelligence. Has shown many weaknesses this year not being able to cover backs out of the backfield, stop the run, fight off blocks, or pressure the QB.

Prediction: 2nd round

Yea Ohio!
