Trotwood TE/LB McCray gets offer from Oklahoma
Several national recruiting sites have reported that Trotwood-Madison High School football standout Michael McCray received an offer from the University of Oklahoma on Monday.
The Sooners head coach is Youngstown native Bob Stoops.
“I usually get mail from them but never talked to them before, so that was the first time ever hearing they wanted to talk to me,” McCray told ESNP Insider.
According to MaxPreps.com, the junior tight end/linebacker has at least 11 offers, including from Oklahoma, Michigan, Penn State, Purdue, Syracuse and Tennessee. Ohio State is not among the programs to offer McCray.
Last month Rams junior cornerback Cam Burrows verbally committed to the Buckeyes. He became the first player in the OSU recruiting class of 2013 to be landed by new Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer.
McCray, 6-4, 230, was a first-team All-Ohioian at linebacker last season. He was a major contributor in the Rams winning the Division II state title and going 15-0.
His father, also Michael McCray, was an OSU linebacker and captain of the 1987 Buckeyes.
Trotwood senior defensive back George “Bam” Bradley last week signed with Pittsburgh. He’ll join his brother, freshman linebacker Nicholas “Freezer” Grigsby at Pitt.

TweetLadd indefinitely takes over for Fogle at Trotwood-Madison
Former athletic director Jim Ladd has been asked by Trotwood-Madison High School officials to fill in for current AD Guy Fogle for an undetermined amount of time.
Ladd said Tuesday night that he was asked last week to indefinitely fill the position. He referred questions to school administration.
Kevin Bell, the school district’s Acting Superintendent, confirmed that Fogle is still the high school AD and is on leave.
Fogle was hired last spring to the position following Ladd’s retirement from the school district. Fogle, 50, came to Trotwood after resigning as executive director of the Western Ohio Television Consortium, Piqua’s main cable access channel.
Fogle also has worked for WKEF, WDTN and WHIO in their newsrooms. He unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination to the party’s candidate for Congress, 3rd District, two years ago against incumbent Republican Mike Turner.
