He played very well all-season for one of the best defenses in the league. Great to hear he's going to have an opportunity to keep working in Denver and that he has gotten past his health scare.

Didn't he get offered by Tressel at the end of the cycle? Crazy how quick his rise was in his senior year.

Not that I am aware of. Maybe Pead.

His only offer might have been UC.

A thread from way back regarding an interview with Wolfe about his interaction with Tressel...I knew I remembered it from somewhere!

http://csnbbs.com/thread-364434-post-423...pid4238151

Are you sure? I remember him being a good recruit and we beat out WVU for him.

Wolfe lived with Adam Hopple's family. He and Adam are basically brothers. The fact that Adam was here secured his decision to be a Bearcat.

Wolfe had interest from WVU and MSU. Tressel offered a scholly, which Wolfe turned down. The Hoppels influenced him to attend BK's summer camp, where he formed a relationship with the UC staff. Apparently, Tressel was shocked Wolfe wanted to attend UC over osu.

Speaking of Derek, nice to see him playing against the Queerlers and he made a sack. He also got a four year contract extension from Denver:

Quote:For the last 12 games, he ran roughshod through opposing offensive lines, using his power and resolve to push opposing guards and tackles backward. After three seasons of ups and downs -- some of which were exacerbated by injuries that sunk his second NFL season and detoured his progress -- Wolfe became the interior force the Broncos long believed he could be.

"We've seen improve over the four years that he's been here -- especially this year -- and he's just gotten better and better," said Executive Vice President/General Manager John Elway.

That's why the Broncos wanted Wolfe back on the four-year contract extension to which they agreed Friday.

"Last night, I called my agents, and the deal was already on the table, and I said, 'Look, let's just take this deal,'" Wolfe said. "I don't want to leave. I love the city, I love the team, I love the organization, the coaches, my teammates and everything.

"I couldn't be happier. I'm in a place that I love to be, so why would I leave?"

And, indeed, the Broncos feel the same way: Why would they want to let him leave?

Improvement in 2014 has led to dominance in 2015 -- so dominant, in fact, only three 3-4 defensive ends have higher overall ratings from profootballfocus.com since Week 5 than Wolfe, who grades out as the league's second-best run-defending 3-4 end in that span.

"He's only scratched the surface, and we really think that Derek has a tremendous amount of football ahead of him," Elway said, "and that's why we're so excited that it's going to be in Denver."

Derek Can Dominate

Also Travis Kelce has turned into a nice TE at Kansas City. He didn't have a big game against the Pats defense yesterday but finished the regular season with 72 catches, 875 yards and 5 TDs. Not bad for his third year in the NFL.

Who recruited Kelce to UC? And, was he recruited as a qb out of high school? I can't recall.

Travis was a Kelly recruit. Keep in mind that Jason initially walked-on under Dantonio.

Was he a qb in HS or am I confusing him with someone else?

Yes Travis was a QB in in high school. In fact his first year he ran a couple plays out of the Wildcat...err.. Bearcat.... (Kelly's term).
