Buckeyes get LB
Linebacker John Kerr, who led Indiana in tackles as a true freshman last year, said he is transferring to Ohio State. The 6-foot-1, 247-pound Kerr is a former big-school defensive player of the year at St. Ignatius High. He had 117 tackles last year for the Hoosiers. Kerr said he had a falling out with the Indiana coaching staff that led to his decision to enroll at Ohio State. Kerr helped St. Ignatius to state playoff championships in 1999 and 2001 and is the school's all-time leading tackler. He will sit out the next season, using up his redshirt season, then will have three years of eligibility with the Buckeyes.
