ON CAMPUS Freshman of Year Greco stands out at Toledo

Sophomore letterman John Greco, a 6-5, 315-pound left tackle from Boardman High, started football practice Saturday with the Toldeo Rockets, the 2004 Mid-American Conference champions.
Greco started all 13 games at right tackle for the Rockets, who had the 11th-best offense in the nation last year with 459.2 yards per game.
Earning freshman of the year laurels, Greco helped the Rockets to a 9-3 record, 7-1 in the MAC and a berth in the Motor City Bowl in Detroit.
Toledo defeated Miami 35-27 for the MAC title, then lost to Connecticut 39-10 in its bowl outing.
Sophomore letterman Brandon Alexander (6-1, 190), a Howland High graduate, is expected to see playing time for the Rockets at free safety this fall.
He had five solo tackles and assisted on seven others last season.
