Annie Apple easily recalls when her family — which includes Ohio State starting cornerback Eli Apple — made the trek from Voorhees, N.J., to Columbus for the first time. A life transition in the form of a big city laid in front of them as a result of Eli's athletic ability and prowess as a football player.
Initially they didn't know many people outside of the Buckeye football coaching staff and friends their son had made through the recruiting process. So Annie sought help in the form of the Football Parents At Ohio State (FPAOS) organization.
"When we came to Ohio State in 2013, the organization Football Parents At Ohio State did exist," Apple told Eleven Warriors Saturday.
