DANTONIO ON GROSE:
“Angelo did it all in high school and was Ohio Mr. Football runner-up and the Division 3 Defensive Player of the Year. He played all over the place: running back, wide receiver, punt returner, kick returner, corner, safety. He is a very tough and competitive player. Angelo reminds me of Josiah Scott in terms of the way he comes to play.”
