By Bill Greene...Devoe talks about being at Massillon and his goals for the upcoming season. Also talks about which schools are still recruiting him (nothing to worry about there) and the other commits/recruits he talks to.

Torrence shines in his Tiger debut

From the moment he enrolled at Washington High School last March, DeVoe Torrence had had his eyes on last Friday night.

Arriving from Canton South, Torrence came in with the fanfare one would expect surrounding a player who already owns a scholarship offer from Ohio State. Still, when he walked onto the Paul Brown Tiger Stadium turf for the first time before the Tigers' season-opening 42-21 win over Middletown, the senior felt there was something missing.

Ohio State pull scholarship offer to DeVoe Torrence

COLUMBUS Stark County football will be on the outside looking in when Ohio State announces its 2008 recruiting class a week from today.

The Buckeyes have pulled their full-ride scholarship offer to Massillon running back DeVoe Torrence, a source within OSU's program told The Repository on Tuesday night. Sources close to OSU's program confirmed the offer had been pulled.

Torrence lost his scholarship for off-the-field issues which may include academic problems, sources said. The Repository first reported earlier this month that one of Ohio's top recruits had not scheduled an official visit to Ohio State.

A message left for Torrence, considered one of the state's top prospects, was not returned. His voice mail box was full, but Torrence also did not respond to a text message sent to his cell phone.

Massillon head coach Tom Stacy declined comment earlier this week on Torrence's future. All scholarship offers include character and academic provisions which give schools the right to pull offers if not met.

This will be the first time in at least 15 years a Stark County player has not signed a scholarship offer with the Buckeyes.
