At the Columbus Nike Football Training Camp, several high profile high school athletes from around the Country showed up to display their skills. Buckeye Nations Brad Bournival said that nobody impressed him at linebacker more than St. Clairsville’s Michael Ferns.
Bournival talked about Ferns:
There were some really big names at this thing, but he stood out. Everything he (Ferns) did looked crisp. There is a reason Urban Meyer wanted him, he didn’t get him. Brady Hoke got him and I’m sure that he will be smiling the next four years.
You can watch the full video recap below.
