Are there so many effing OSU commits in this game? Is urban deciding who gets invited to this game or what? I admittedly don't know how these teams are drawn up

and thinking back some half-dozen years or so to watching him and his sister (slightly older, I believe) playing one-on-one tackle football while tailgating with the Hutchinson family and their friends at AAGO. We tailgated directly across the service drive from the Hutchinsons for about 3-4 years until someone else started reserving that exact location about 5-6 seasons ago, the Hutchinson tailgating group was pretty big but also had enough space to allow for the kids to play football, frisbee,etc. To the point: Aiden's sister and Aiden would often go tooth-and-nail against each other and she held her own pretty well against him up until the last year we tailgated there. By then he had grown enough to usually have the upper hand but she didn't back down even a bit to the challenge. Those kids were clearly born and raised to compete!

He's 6'5" 240 lbs and can change directions on a dime. He can definitely be a stand up rusher up the middle and lead block for Bush. Other than dropping into coverage, his skillset isn't far off from Furbush. But please, feel free to interject with your 'expert opinion': nah
