Anthony Gon­za­lez WR, OSU
Foot­ball Stuff

• Never had a great sta­tis­ti­cal year, but was a big play guy.
• Fin­ished his final, and best, sea­son with 673 yards and seven touch­downs.
• Was team­mates with both San­to­nio Holmes and Ted Ginn, Jr.

Ran­dom Stuff

• Accord­ing to wikipedia, “Gon­za­lez often sleeps and stud­ies in a low-oxygen envi­ron­ment using a spe­cially con­structed alti­tude tent. The tent, man­u­fac­tured by Col­orado Alti­tude Train­ing, sim­u­lates a high alti­tude envi­ron­ment, which pro­vides the ben­e­fits of alti­tude train­ing, includ­ing stim­u­lat­ing his body to pro­duce more red blood cells and allow­ing his blood to carry more oxy­gen, pro­mot­ing endurance and heal­ing.”
• Ok, then.

Ben Grubbs, G, Auburn

 

Joe Sta­ley OT, Cen­tral Michigan
