DB Chimdi Chekwa
Congratulations to Chimdi Chekwa for being nominated as big ten defensive player of the week. He had a heck of a game against purdue. He also has been a pleasent surprise.
Chimdi Chekwa, Ohio State
FR, CB, Clermont, Fla./East Ridge
After recording 11 tackles in his first five games with Ohio State, Chekwa set a career high with 10 tackles, all solo stops, and added a pass breakup to lead a dominating defensive effort by the Buckeyes in a 23-7 road triumph against Purdue. OSU entered the game leading the Big Ten and ranked among the top five in the country in scoring, rushing and total defense. The Boilermakers boasted the conference's top offensive attack with 45.4 points (8th nationally) and 495.8 yards (T10th nationally) per outing, but were limited to only 272 total yards, four rushing yards and a single touchdown. Chekwa collects the first weekly laurel of his career and the first for a freshman Buckeye defensive player since linebacker Andy Katzenmoyer was honored on Oct. 22, 1996.

We all knew that Purdue was going to attack Chekwa and he withstood his test admirably!

We do... Jenkins and Donald Washington!
Washington has not gotten the credit for the job he's doing this season. IMO he's playing like an All-BigTen caliber player. If Jenkins were not on the team, he would be the DB opposing teams would be avoiding.

Washington, Russell, Jenkins, Chekwa. All 2-3 star recruits. Jim Tressel finds talent.
