College football | Notestine, Tupa excited to be among Ohio University signees

Pickerington North offensive lineman Adam Notestine was so certain that Ohio University was the correct fit for him academically and athletically that he graduated from high school one semester early in order to enroll.

Tyler Tupa, a receiver-safety from the Cleveland suburb of Brecksville and the son of former Ohio State punter Tom Tupa, wished that he could pack his bags and head to Athens after signing a national letter of intent on Wednesday morning.
