Pittsburgh QB favors OSU

On July 22nd, Ohio State lost out on one of the top prospects in Pittsburgh, running back Andrew Johnson. However, the Buckeyes might not be done in the city, with quarterback Dennis Sellman a heavy OSU lean.

"Ohio State is definitely my number one school," said Sellman. "They're the national champs and it's a football school. I want to go somewhere that places a heavy emphasis on football and where it's very important. That's why they're at the top of my list.

"I've talked to coach Tressell and some guys on their staff and they're real impressive. I would love to play at Ohio State."

Sellman is a 6-foot-4, 212 pound quarterback from Pittsburgh (Pa.) Woodland Hills and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds. He has an accurate arm and moves around in the pocket well. Who else does he like?

"Illinois and Michigan State are two other schools that are recruiting me pretty hard, and I'm interested in them. Playing in the Big Ten would be really nice," he said. "Ohio State is recruiting me the hardest, but those two are right up there as well. I camped at OSU and I'd like to visit those two schools before I make my decision."

Boston College and Pitt round out Sellman's top five. While he doesn't have any offers yet, Sellman might reel in a couple once coaches see film from his senior year.

As a junior he passed for 1,500 yards and 21 touchdowns with only three interceptions. He was a second team all-conference selection.
