I thought I was from pretty far away.

Is that Cam Hayward?

Yeah, it is.

I think it's a little bit of insight anyway into what's happening in spring practice, too.

So Kyle Parker, receiver from LSU.

Lost his.

Cortez Hankton told us that.

I think as we're talking right now, Ohio State has yet to announce that.

But that happened after Saturday's practice.

And then Earl Little Jr., transfer safety from Florida State, also lost his black stripe.

And I thought it was funny.

Funny slash interesting, I guess.

When Jeremiah Smith was asked about Earl Little Jr., he said, like, he's going to hit you.

He's going to make a lot of plays.

And I don't want to say much more than that because I think he's going to be special for us.

And he, like, was smiling the whole time he said it.

So...

Seems like five practices in the spring that Earl Little has made quite the impression on Jeremiah Smith.

Yeah, I mean, he's been the most famous player on the team since he showed up, but I think has been...

um he's had a little bit of a buffer i think in terms of having to be like the face of the team a spokesman for the team a guy who has to like kind of get out there and and be a a little bit of a vocal leader too and probably in some ways and i felt he was a little different like like with a lot of young players you tend to get shorter answers and as they get older and more experienced in their career the answers seem to tend to get a little longer and a little more interesting and often
