Bravo, Brad

Brad Kaaya made it clear to the critics, the fans and the college football world that there is nothing like The U.

I started playing football in the sixth grade, as a somewhat fat, weird and awkward defensive tackle. I was slow as molasses moving throw a frozen pipe.

Come seventh grade I grew a few hairs on my chin, sprouted a few inches and went from fat to middle school jacked (a small six pack and some pea shooter pipes for arms). I trained day and night pulling weighted sleds, doing push-ups and mimicking my favorite players from my favorite team, Ohio State.
