Yes, he went to OSU, got into trouble with the law, and decided to walk on at YSU. Coach Heacock gave him a series of tough restrictions and things he must do, so far he has been a big team player and has done everything with heart.
He was ranked #3 Tight End in 2003 by Rivals.COM. He was said to be the best tight end out of the mid-west in 40 years said some on Rivals.COM.
He played 8 games as a true freshmen in 2003 for OSU, including the Fiesta Bowl vs. Kansas St... Louis played in the US Army All-American Bowl. He was first team All Ohio. Best thing is he does have some brains if he uses them as he was a member of National Honors Society.
One of the latest YSU updates from the Ytown Vindicator said this: One of those possible replacements is 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end Louis Irizarry, a former Ursuline High standout who was originally recruited by Ohio State.
Irizarry could be a great weapon for the Penguins this season because despite his size, he runs like a wideout, leaps like a defensive back and has great hands.
In Friday's scrimmage he made two catches that had the coaches drooling.
Both were over the middle where he had to go up high and make the grab, well over top of the defensive back.
Defensive coordinator and secondary coach Mike Kolakowski was impressed by Irizarry.
"He's going to make our secondary so much better, because they are not going to see a better receiver this year from our opponents," Kolakowski said.
