It’s striking to see Bobby Carpenter, Anthony Schlegel, James Laurinaitis, and A.J. Hawk sit on a stage and recount their times as football players.
Each started and concluded their career as an Ohio State linebacker within a seven-season window from 2002 through 2008. Each is still around the game of football in some form or fashion; Laurinaitis and Schlegel as coaches, Hawk and Carpenter as media personalities.
Yet, as with any group of four people, the four each share a unique perspective, and that much was made clear when moderator and former OSU wide receiver turned ESPN analyst Joey Galloway asked the quartet what their favorite play they made in college was during last week’s Ohio State coaches’ clinic.
