DAYTON, Ohio — Demario McCall caught the ball near his team’s goal line for a kickoff return, headed right up the middle of the field and then bounced outside. As soon as McCall — a signee in Ohio State’s 2016 class — got to the edge and had just one defender to beat, in his mind the play was over.
Why?
“I don’t lose one-on-ones,” he said afterward as he flashed a giant smile.
McCall’s assumption that he would wind up in the end zone was right as he opened Saturday’s OHSFCA North-South Classic for his team with a 99-yard kick return for a touchdown.
