Counting graduate and professional students, Ohio State has almost twice as many students as Monaco has citizens. But Prince Albert II didn’t seem phased.

Prince Albert II of Monaco visited OSU on Wednesday, where he addressed students on global climate practices and responsibilities. He also spoke on how those practices and responsibilities relate to the university’s efforts toward achieving its sustainability goals and maintaining a more environmentally conscious campus.

Throughout the panel discussion at the Mershon Auditorium, Prince Albert remained forward- looking. He addressed the students and reiterated “the next generation’s responsibility to take action to fix the global catastrophe that climate change brings.”

He put weight on college students’ shoulders.

“This next generation will have the responsibility to carry (environmental) efforts even further, and to come up with the right solutions,” Prince Albert said during a separate media availability where he also praised Ohio Stadium’s zero-waste initiative.

Buckeye Real Estate’s presence the University District might be getting bigger, as the off-campus real estate giant has proposed a new apartment building just behind the Gateway parking garage off High Street.

Positioned in an alley between Ninth and 11th avenues, the 26 by 265 feet plot of land had gone mostly unnoticed for a number of years. That was until Wayne Garland, owner of Buckeye Real Estate, approached Campus Partners about the parcel in the spring of 2015.

“I wondered if they even knew they owned it,” Garland said.

Now, more than a year after the initial proposal, Buckeye Real Estate and Campus Partners are in contract for the land, having until October to officially close.

Erin Prosser, director of community development for Campus Partners, said since the deal for the land has not been finalized, there is no word on a final price.

However, with zoning approved and the design well on its way, Garland has no doubt the deal will be completed before the October due date.

North and South poles, also discussed his charitable organization, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. The foundation was established in 2006 with the purpose of protecting the environment and encouraging sustainable development.

One group the foundation sponsors is Venturi Automobiles, which sponsors OSU’s Buckeye Bullet, a high-speed electric car project build and designed by students.

When Matthew Griffin — a second-year in environment, economy, sustainability and development — asked Prince Albert how his foundation identifies which programs and projects to support,

the prince said the foundation’s team of climate and biodiversity experts had the ability to directly form partnerships to promote concrete action.

“No matter how technological the programs we work with are, we make sure to never forget the human aspect and what the projects bring to local populations and communities,” Prince Albert said.

The prince also highlighted his satisfaction with the foundation’s ability to give young scientists scholarships to study and do climate change and sustainability-oriented research on the ground in developing nations.

During the discussion, University President Michael Drake said

he is proud of “the city of Columbus’ tremendous achievement” as winner of the US Department of Transportation’s Smart City Challenge.

“Developing a transportation system for the future brings us one step closer to becoming a more efficient, effective, and safer city and campus — both on a localized level and a large scale,” Drake said.

During his visit, Prince Albert also visited the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center and met with OSU faculty to learn about the university’s research and educational programming regarding sustainability matters.

Walking patrols take on High and Pearl safety, trash DANIEL SMYTH Lantern reporter smyth.41@osu.edu Areas around High and Pearl streets are welcoming a new public safety program intended to help make the off-campus area safer and cleaner.

Members of walking patrols, called stewards, will focus on improving the area through services such as improving district cleanliness, reducing graffiti, implementing beautification projects, facilitating neighborhood improvement projects and communicating with business and property owners.

“We are not just patrolling Pearl (Street), we are patrolling any public street within the University District (Special Improvement District) boundary,” said Matt Hansen, executive director at the nonprofit University District Organization.

SID is a designation provided

by the city that creates a nonprofit to enhance the business and community experience in an area, with a board of directors elected by property owners in the district, according to the University District SID website.

The program began July 1.

Wednesday through Saturday, the stewards will patrol from 6 a.m. to 4 a.m. Sunday to Tuesday, patrols will go from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“The SID has kept the University Area Commission updated about the project since the outset, and we’re definitely excited to see a safer, cleaner High Street,” said Sam Runta, a representative on the University Area Commission.

Runta added that the walking patrols complement Campus Partners’ plans for the 15th and High redevelopment, which includes plans for a more pedestrian-friendly Pearl Street.

Campus Partners is not the only stakeholder involved in this new

program.

“This is a property owner-funded initiative; there are over 60 different properties,” Hansen said.

Stewards will provide a variety of safety services such as security, reducing street disturbances, distributing safety information and alerts and anticipating and responding to public service needs, Hansen said.

The stewards will be dressed in a uniform –– a gray polo shirt and black shorts or pants –– making them easier identify if anyone needs their assistance. Furthermore, the stewards may be contacted through the SID Hotline at 614-395-1600.

“The SID is going to be yet another addition to the massive investment going into the University District, and is one of the programs that went into the rapid redevelopment of both the Short North and Downtown,” Runta said.

Latino high-schoolers benefit from mentoring SHERIDAN HENDRIX Lantern reporter hendrix.87@osu.edu Adriana Del Valle dreams of pursuing a career in medicine.

The Worthington Kilbourne High School sophomore isn’t sure if she wants to be a doctor or a veterinarian, but one thing she has always been sure of is that college would be in her future. As a middle school student, Del Valle was told some startling information at an event regarding college and Latinos.

“When I heard that not all Lati-

nos like me go to college, I was surprised,” Del Valle said. “It made me sad to think that a lot of the people I see in my everyday life, that they would never go to college.”

The Latino and Latin American Space for Enrichment and Research mentoring program provides networking and resources to Latino high school students throughout Columbus, as well as opportunities to help students apply and maneuver their way through college admissions and financial aid.

LASER was started at Ohio

State in 2009, founded by Frederick Aldama, a professor of English, Spanish and Portuguese.

His goal was to design a program with the hopes of creating a college track for Columbus’ growing population of young Latinos.

The program describes itself as a “total mentoring system” –– one that is both a network for Latino students to meet and grow as a community and also a pipeline for high school students to transition into college. LASER works with students starting in the ninth grade and can run all the way through one’s college career.

LASER began with students from South-Western City Schools in Galloway, a city west of Columbus, who carpooled to campus to meet with graduate students for mentoring, as well as interacted with Latino culture through film screenings and speakers.

Since then, LASER has planted “hubs” at high schools all over the city. High school students meet weekly during lunch with their mentors, usually three to five undergraduates and two to three graduate students. During this time, students can apply for schol-

fully operational by fall 2017, will contain eight units — four with one bedroom and four with two bedrooms.

The main selling point, however, is the private parking. Garland said each apartment will have its own private garage space for each resident.

Scott Smith, a fourth-year in hospitality management, was intrigued by the idea of a private garage.

“Parking is a huge issue off campus, especially around High Street,” Smith said. “Having your own private parking spot is a huge plus.”

In addition to the convenience that private parking provides off-campus students, Garland cited safety as a primary concern when designing the garages.

“The rent will probably be a little higher than the norm, but the fact that someone can pull right in and go straight upstairs is a little different — more like a house,” he said.

However, even with the amenities Garland hopes to provide, the Buckeye Real Estate owner can’t help but feel somewhat apprehensive.

The new on-campus living requirement for second-year students means less business for off-campus landlords like Garland.

“Is (the apartment building) needed? That’s always the question in this market,” Garland said.

REPORT

Man killed by vehicle near campus NICK ROLL Campus Editor roll.66@osu.edu The parent of an Ohio State student died after being hit by a car Tuesday morning, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

According to the Dispatch report, Chittaranjan Pal, 64, of Barrackpore, India, was struck at the intersection of King and Belmont avenues. He was taken to the Wexner Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead around 10 a.m., more than two hours later.

A Columbus Division of Police officer

told The Dispatch that Pal was in Columbus visiting his daughter, an OSU student.

OSU was not able to independently confirm a relation between Pal and a student as of Wednesday evening, but a spokesman offered the following condolences: “We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Mr. Pal and our sincerest condolences and warmest thoughts go to his family, including of course his daughter who is an important part of our university community.”

Corene Haughton, 19, was reported as the driver.

Pal was in the crosswalk at the intersection, which has a traffic light, police told The Dispatch. It was not clear if the light was red or green at the time of the accident.

As of Tuesday, the investigation was still underway and no charges had been filed.

A police report was not available as of Wednesday afternoon.

arships, write college essays or go over homework questions.

Some hubs meet after school at local libraries, while other mentors meet with students from rural schools regularly over Skype. LASER also provides space in Hagerty Hall for students to meet.

While undergraduates work mainly as mentors, graduate students act as hub coordinators, working with the schools for programming and curriculum. Maria Lerma — a graduate student in women’s, gender and sexuality studies and a West Hub I coordinator — said LASER is something she wishes she had when she was in high school.

“As a first generation college student, I know the fears, especially from the money side,” Lerma said. “But it’s nice to be able to say (to students), ‘I’ve been in your seat and I know what it’s like, but don’t worry, we’re here to help.’”

LASER also hosts a number of workshops during the year that go over topics such as how to apply for FAFSA and College Credit Plus. Aldama considers these workshops to be an invaluable resource to these students, as it is a lack of resources and knowledge that prevents many Latinos from going to college.

“All of these students are really capable,” Aldama said. “But they just don’t have the infrastructure at their schools that directs them the right way. The system does not know what to do with Latinos.”

Although unsure of exact numbers, Aldama estimates that hundreds of students have come through the program. He is certain, however, that every student who has come through LASER has been accepted to college.

National poets set to slam OSU LAURIE HAMAME Lantern reporter hamame.3@osu.edu

Thursday night, the Ohio Union is set to showcase word welders and alphabet architects alike.

Three professionals in the national slam poetry scene — Oveous, Lacey Roop and Elizabeth Acevedo — along with three Ohio State students, are set to perform some of their pieces.

Upon seeing poets at a conference, Sofia Barcos, visual and fine arts committee chair for Ohio Union Activities Board, was inspired to bring poets to OSU, as the organization had not brought such an event to campus in recent times.

“Art is a process, or the means by which we can explore our world. This event is a representation of that,” Barcos said. “Students can come to this event as an escape from classes to enjoy an artistic experience unlike many others.”

Spoken-word poet Oveous said his voice could be described as “sophisticated street poetry with an academic flair.” With a commitment to keeping his late brother’s gift of lyricism alive, he said he was able to turn his brother’s

suicide into a message of hope.

Oveous said he and his brother were exposed to the art of lyricism through the poetic verses of hiphop they heard while growing up in The Bronx. “(My poems) convey a message of overcoming internal struggles to keep going day after day, the good times and the bad times,” Oveous said. “What I do is kind of what a stand-up comedian does — storytelling — but through hip hop and poetry.”

The dreadlocked, tattooed and pierced Lacey Roop, who identifies as genderqueer, said her politically charged poems do not surprise people, given her appearance. She advocates for female empowerment and marginalized voices, covering topics of gender and sexuality in her pieces.

Roop, originally from New York City, first experienced slam poetry in a coffee shop while studying for a college exam. Now, at age 29, she is the author of a full-length book of poetry, “And Then Came The Flood.” “(Poetry) has taught me the miracle of a story,” Roop said.

“How a story has a life of its own and how marveling that is to share and witness.”

COURTESY OF OUAB

Elizabeth Acevedo, a spoken-word artist from New York City, has performed at Madison Square Garden. sissippi said she writes poetry to bring what she sees as unheard voices to light.

“My poems affirm that we are powerful,” Acevedo said. “That diverse stories and experiences are important to read and learn about — that black lives matter.

That history matters.”

After 12 years of performing on

national and international stages, including venues like Madison Square Garden, Acevedo said she still believes performing at universities is both a challenge and an honor.

“I’m also inducting (students) into a subculture of poetry, snapping, hollering and responding verbally and visibly to a perfor-

mance,” she said.

The event is on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in the Ohio Union Performance Hall. Tickets are free, with two offered per BuckID and available at the Ohio Union Information Desk. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Ashley Wills’ designs are influenced by her work as a costume designer with the Ohio Theatere.

An Ohio State alumna is set to bring ‘70s vibes to the third annual Fashion Meets Music Festival in the Arena District this weekend.

Ashley Wills, a 2011 OSU graduate, will be showcasing her colorful clothing collection, Moonbow.

“For this collection, color was big, so I started by selecting a full rainbow spectrum of colors and then adding in things like metallics and off tones for more visual interest,” Wills said. “I like to stick with mainly simple silhouettes because I’m a true believer that comfort is king, and instead focus on using interesting materials.”

Wills looks to music and past time periods for inspiration in her fashion collections. For Moonbow, she focused on ‘70s glamrock, citing examples of David Bowie and Mick Jagger.

“I love how the ‘70s was kind of gender nonspecific, how stars like Mick Jagger would just dress really boldly,” she said. “I really admire things like that.”

During her college career, Wills completed a dual degree in fashion and theater. Many of her de-

signs have also been influenced by her time spent working at the Ohio Theatre, where she worked in the costume studio for three years.

“I didn’t even know how to sew until I worked there, so that’s been a really great influence,” Wills said. “I got a really great experience, got to design for a couple of plays in the theater department, and I just loved that job.”

Wills now makes fashion and blogging her full-time career, and stressed the importance of finding a personal space for creativity and inspiration.

“Blogging has been such a gift.

It came at a time when I didn’t really know what I wanted to do,” Wills said. “I would really recommend it to anyone who’s in a situation like that because it really helped me find my style, my voice and find what I wanted to do.”

Her website, freewillsstudio. com, is geared toward those interested in style, decor and do-ityourself crafts, especially artistic college students on a budget.

“I just love the arts and anything crafty, really, and I’m also very inspired by being on a budget,” Wills said. “I try to do things as inexpensively as possible.”

Horacio Nieto, a designer and fashion producer at FMMF, met Wills three years ago at Highball, an annual Halloween fashionevent

“I love how the ‘70s was kind of gender nonspecific, how stars like Mick Jagger would just dress really boldly. I really admire things like that.”

in the Short North Arts District.

When Nieto got the position at FMMF, he said Wills came to mind. He said he appreciates the story behind Wills’ fashion collections, and is anxious for the audience to see the full collection as well.

“They’ll be able to see her perspective, her story, her thoughts, her ideas and her take on fashion,” he said.

FMMF is set to take place on Sept. 3 and 4 in the Arena District and will feature four stages with live music acts and designers to celebrate the fashion and music scenes.

HOWL by Ashley Wills will hit the festival’s Polaris Fashion Place Runway Stage at 3:15 p.m. on Sept. 4.

Honestly, if somebody was like, ‘Pick a major and you’ll get paid $60,000 right out of college, or this one, you just don’t know what you’ll get, maybe you’ll have a part-time job somewhere’ — like it’s so much more appealing to go for that full-time job. I think that was really the position I was

in. Once I realized that’s not what college is about for me — it’s about learning — and just talking to my family and my friends, like (my old major) really made me miserable to a very real degree.

SPRINKLE FROM 8

For now, OSU fans almost strictly know Sprinkle for his early off-the-field issues. He said that he doesn’t regret what happened because he matured a lot from the incident, which ultimately made him a better person and football player.

“I’m happy where I’m at now,” Sprinkle said. “I don’t want to be known for anything negative. I guess I got to show it on the field to change people’s mind.”

Sprinkle made great strides this past spring, emerging as a leader on and off the field according to Meyer. Just two years removed from being dismissed from the team, Sprinkle believes he can make a name for himself on the gridiron.

“He’s a story I usually talk about every year and that’s a guy that maybe had struggles,” Meyer said. “He’s going to be an Ohio State graduate and a leader of our team and a starter, so it’s just one of those great stories.”

Junior wrestler Kyle Snyder talks to the Prince Albert II of Monaco.

FOOTBALL

Defensive back Cam Burrows out for season EDWARD SUTELAN For The Lantern sutelan.1@osu.edu Just days before the season opener, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer indicated on Wednesday that redshirt junior Cam Burrows could miss the entire 2016 campaign. Meyer was not confident the defensive back was going to be healthy enough to play for the Buckeyes this season.

“I don’t think he’s going to play

this season,” Meyer said.

An OSU spokesperson told the media on Wednesday that Burrow’s foot was bothering him.

After appearing to be fully healthy for the first time since his sophomore campaign back in 2014, he was forced to redshirt in the 2015 season after breaking his foot.

Burrows began his career at Ohio State with lofty expectations, as he was a four-star recruit according to 247Sports back in

2012. He was viewed as the second best recruit in the state of Ohio, the eighth best cornerback prospect and the 61st best recruit overall.

When OSU released its first depth chart on Tuesday, Burrows was not on the two-deep at safety.

Redshirt sophomore Malik Hooker and junior Damon Webb are scheduled to start at the two safety positions with freshman Jordan Fuller and junior Erick Smith serving as the primary backups.

SCOUTING FROM 8

rely on the passing game, testing the young OSU secondary. Meyer said that he’s most worried about the quick screens from the Falcon offense.

“It’s going to be a real quick, fast-paced game and our job is to win that first game, so that’s kind of our focus this week,” Meyer said. “I just want to make sure we tackle those guys and get them on the ground.”

Despite replacing nine starters, the OSU defense remains one of the quickest in the country, which should allow the linebackers and secondary to attack downhill on screen plays, limiting damage.

OSU’s offense will face a defense that ranked eighth in the nation in interceptions in 2015, but it should operate efficiently early and often against the slower BGSU defense behind redshirt junior quarterback J.T. Barrett. The quickness of an Urban Meyer offense should put Jinks’ Falcons on its heels, leaving its only hope to outscore the Buckeyes.

OSU’s defense will be counted on to make stops, but the Buckeyes should roll over the Falcons.

Someone is Looking for You! There IS a superior intelligence “out there” -- and a loving one too. Your Creator wants you to acknowledge Him, and come to know Him and His ways. Don’t be deceived by evolutionism.

All creation screams of intelligent design! The odds alone of DNA evolving are virtually nil. Evolutionism is the only “science” that denies the law of degeneration (entropy). God alone is the origin of life, and the true God wants/needs no one to take away life for Him – beware the “god” that does! God exists, and the Bible is His Word. What is unique about the Bible?

For one thing, it is the only book with fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 46:9-10). Test it yourself! For starters, try (current situation) Psalm 83 and Zechariah 12; (reformation of Israel after nearly 1900 years) Isaiah 66:8, Jeremiah 16:14-15, Jeremiah 31:7-10, Amos 9:9-15, Ezekiel 34:12-31, Ezekiel 36, and Ezekiel 37:21-22; (suffering/crucifixion of Christ) Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53; (future situation) Zechariah 13:7 - 14:21; (timing of the 2nd Coming of Christ) Joel 3:1-2, 2Peter 3:8/Hosea 5:14 - 6:2. “Too hard to read and understand” you say? Try the KJV/Amplified parallel bible (book) or KJV/Amplified/Complete Jewish parallel bible (biblegateway.com), and for a strict literal translation try Young’s Literal. “It’s all in how you interpret it” you say? The Bible, despite numerous transcribers over hundreds of years, is remarkably consistent/coherent and interprets itself. Our Creator is the actual author (2Peter 1:16-21). Beware of modern, liberal translations from “the higher critics” which seriously distort the Word!

Finally, if there is a God, why is there so much evil? We have rejected God, and now see what it is like to live in a world where God has permitted us (temporarily) to rule ourselves. Give up your lusts, and come to your Creator and follow His ways (Jude 1:18-25). All that this world has to offer is as nothing compared to what He has in store for those who love Him (1Corinthians 2:9 , John 14:15)!

Kyle Snyder and coach Tom Ryan’s Rio reflection AARON TOMICH Lantern reporter tomich.17@osu.edu Kyle Snyder stood tall at Ohio State as he reflected upon his passion for the sport of wrestling, expressing his strong will that drove him to achieve his highest goal: Olympic gold.

Though he only competed for a single day in Rio de Janeiro, Snyder’s work ethic and love for the sport paid off.

“Winning the gold is fun. And getting the accolades, Twitter followers and doing the interviews is really cool. But I love wrestling for what it is,” said Snyder, OSU junior heavyweight wrestler, addressing a media event Monday at the Ohio Union.

The medals and recognition of winning were not the main aspects of his time in Rio that Snyder most enjoyed.

“Even if that wasn’t a part of it, then I would still love what I was doing and that’s what I cherish the most,” Snyder said.

His day of competition in Rio did not lack drama, as Snyder fell behind quickly in the first half of the semifinal match 0-4.

Buckeye wrestling coach Tom Ryan observed from the stands with confidence.

“My first thoughts were, ‘If there’s anybody that’s got to be down like that, I want it to be Kyle,’ because you know that he

“I wasn’t worried, my heart rate didn’t go up, I wasn’t stressed.

I was just ready to wrestle.”

OSU junior Kyle Snyder shows off his gold medal at the Welcome Back event for OSU Olympians. has the mindset and the hours of training behind him to come back from something like that,” Ryan said.

Snyder was feeling no different from his coach at OSU, as he remained calm with another three-minute half left in the match.

“I was excited to wrestle the rest of the match,” Snyder said.

“I wasn’t worried, my heart rate didn’t go up, I wasn’t stressed. I was just ready to wrestle.”

The comeback resulted in a 9-4 victory, placing him in the gold-medal match later that evening.

Snyder’s next opponent, from Azerbaijan, was a tough match.

However, Snyder prevailed, capturing gold, winning 2-1. With this victory, Snyder became the

youngest American Olympic wrestler to win a gold medal, along with being the only OSU wrestler to do such.

“The moments that I was prepared for came throughout the day, throughout my matches, and then the product of wrestling well was standing at the top of the podium and being able to listen to the national anthem,” Snyder said.

Snyder said he did not let the distractions presented by celebration of sport and athletic ability, deter him from focusing on his wrestling goals.

“Because I don’t value winning or just the gold medals, I didn’t fear losing,” Snyder said. “I wanted to wrestle the toughest competitors and the challenge is what I was excited for.”

Ryan’s presence in the arena was more than a presence of fandom, but of inspiration. The Buckeyes’ coach shared the magic of that golden moment, just seconds after the finals match.

“You knew (Snyder) could do it. You go to an event, and you’re like, ‘Hey we can win this thing,’” Ryan said.

The evening before, Ryan and Snyder texted each other, sending words and thoughts of inspiration from Matthew 8:26.

“The night before, he was sending me some Scripture about fear and not being fearful,” Ryan said. “I mean, the night before the Olympics, there’s the Olympic Village and there’s a lot to do, and this guy is in his room reading (the Bible). He sent me that before the competition started. He’s just really grounded.”

Snyder’s Olympic experience followed him back home to Columbus, where Ryan planned an event to which he was welcomed and embraced by his family, along

with many Buckeye, Olympic and wrestling fans alike at the John Glenn International Airport.

Snyder wrapped up the media event by saying there was just one accolade that could top his Olympic adventure.

“I think maybe doing it again in 2020 might top it,” Snyder said.

“I think I can. I plan to, but we’ll have to see when we get there.”

Scouting Bowling Green JACOB MYERS Assistant Sports Editor myers.1669@osu.edu The Bowling Green State University Falcons — defending Mid-American Conference champions — will visit Ohio Stadium on Saturday for the first time since 2006, when the Ohio State Buckeyes topped the team from northwest Ohio 35-7.

OSU is 4-0 all-time versus Bowling Green with its first match taking place in 1992. In 2016, Buckeye coach Urban Meyer will face, for the first time, the team that sparked his decorated coaching career.

Meyer coached at Bowling Green from 2001-2002, turning a program that was 24-42 its previous six years into a team that went 17-6 in his two seasons, with one of the nation’s most dynamic offenses behind quarterback Josh Harris.

“I still remember that to this day, when I think about Bowling Green, it’s one of the most tradition-rich programs in the MAC. A lot of great respect for them,” Meyer said. “I loved my time there, and a lot of great people there.”

First-year coach Mike Jinks took over the Falcons program this year.

Jinks has only been coaching Division-I football for the past three years as Texas Tech’s run-

“It’s going to be a real quick, fast-paced game and our job is to win that first game, so that’s kind of our focus this week.”

Urban Meyer OSU football coach

ning back coach and was also appointed associate head coach in 2015.

Under Jinks’ tutelage in Lubbock, Texas, the 2015 team scored 34 rushing touchdowns, which was 26 more than the 2014 squad scored on the ground.

He coached former Red Raider running back Deandre Washington to first-team all-Big 12 honors in 2015. Washington rushed for 1492 yards at 6.4 yards per carry, and 14 touchdowns.

Bowling Green has won two MAC titles and 26 games in the past three seasons, marking one of the most successful stretches in program history.

Jinks — taking over for Dino Babers who took the head job at Syracuse — has a tough first test as a coach greeting meeting Meyer and the sixth-ranked Buckeyes in front of 100,000-plus on Saturday.

However, summer workouts and fall camp were just as difficult for Jinks and his staff, who have to replace 12 starters in 2016.

COURTESY OF BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY

Bowling Green Redshirt senior quarterback James Knapke throws a pass in a game at Doyt L. Perry Stadium.

Offense Jinks takes over an offense that ranked fourth in the country last season, but returns only its offensive line. The Falcon offensive line is the most experienced unit in the country with 144 total starts. However, the issue lies at the skill positions.

Starting at quarterback is redshirt senior James Knapke. He is replacing Matt Johnson, who threw for 4,946 and 46 touchdowns — ranking second in the country in 2015. Knapke’s task of replacing Johnson is daunting, but it’s one he has done before.

When Johnson went down with a season-ending injury in 2014,

Knapke led Bowling Green to a 7-1 record, an appearance in the MAC championship game and a bowl victory. However, Knapke will attempt to replicate Johnson’s monstrous passing numbers with a new group of receivers.

BGSU’s top receivers last season, Roger Lewis and Gehrig Dieter, accounted for 179 receptions, 2,577 yards and 26 touchdowns.

They’re both gone. Lewis is auditioning for a spot with the New York Giants and Dieter is a graduate transfer catching passes for Nick Saban at Alabama.

Four of the Falcons’ five top receivers are gone from 2015. However, returning is senior Ronnie

Moore, who totaled 72 receptions, 951 yards and six touchdowns last year.

Starting running back Travis Greene is being replaced by Fred Coppet, who played significantly last year, totaling close to 900 yards with five scores.

Defense BGSU returns six starters on a pedestrian defense, which ranked 84th in the NCAA last year. The Falcons have its entire linebacking core back from a season ago with first-team all-MAC redshirt junior linebacker Austin Valdez and second-team all-MAC redshirt senior Trenton Green leading the way.

Redshirt senior James Sanford had 127 tackles in 2015.

As a secondary that ranked 79th in passing defense last year, redshirt junior Alfonso Mack anchors the last line of defense looking to improve a team-leading six interceptions last year.

Senior defensive end Terrance Bush is the only returning starter up front, making defensive coordinator Perry Eliano’s first year with the Falcons an arduous one.

Breakdown Jinks comes from a Texas Tech program out of the Big 12 that terrorized teams on offense but struggled on defense. Under former coach Dino Babers, BGSU ran the prototypical pass-first offense.

DOTTING THE i

Tracy Sprinkle wants to make himself known on the field JACOB MYERS Assistant Sports Editor myers.1669@osu.edu Before he even hit the field, redshirt junior defensive tackle Tracy Sprinkle made his name known to Ohio State’s populous fan base.

On Fourth of July weekend 2014, police in Lorain, Ohio, were called to the Grown and Sexy bar where a “large fight” had broken out. Sprinkle, who was involved in the fight, was arrested by police on charges of drug possession, drug paraphernalia and riot/ failure to disperse — all which he pleaded not guilty.

OSU coach Urban Meyer suspended Sprinkle indefinitely at the time and then dismissed the would-be redshirt freshman.

After a hair sample — designed to detect drug use up to six months — detected no trace of drug use, Sprinkle was fined $500, given a 30-day suspended sentence, twoyear probation and had to partici-

pate in educational and community service programs.

Aug. 2014, almost a month later, Sprinkle was reinstated to the Buckeyes and was suspended for one game.

“It’s just a mistake that I made and God brought me through it,” Sprinkle said. “I’ve learned to appreciate what you have because it can be gone within seconds. I’m just happy to be here and showcase my talent on Saturdays.”

Sprinkle was buried in the depth chart when he returned to the team. As a member of the 2013 recruiting class that brought in J.T. Barrett, Joey Bosa, Darron Lee, Eli Apple and Vonn Bell among others, Sprinkle already had an uphill battle to crack the starting lineup. He said it crossed his mind a few times if he would ever see playing time.

But before he had a chance to play, he had to earn back the trust of the coaching staff.

“It was tough, but my coaches

My players, my teammates believed in me,” Sprinkle said. “Even in high school I had to work. Even in life, I always had to fight to get where I am.”

Two years later, Sprinkle’s probation has ended and he will line up with the first-team defense on Saturday for his first season as a starter on OSU’s defensive line.

Sprinkle played in three games in 2014 and all 13 games in 2015.

He filled in for the suspended Adolphus Washington in the Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame, Sprinkle’s first significant action

for OSU. He said that when Washington went to the NFL, Sprinkle knew his window of opportunity had opened.

As a redshirt junior, Sprinkle is one of the more experienced individuals on the team. He may not have the time on the field giving him credibility, but knowing how to practice and do the little things makes Sprinkle believe he knows how to lead a young defense.

“I really don’t set too many personal goals, just team goals,” Sprinkle said. “I love my unit. I SPRINKLE CONTINUES ON 6
