Okay, so, I was digging into Marcus Freeman’s background, you know, the head coach for Notre Dame’s football team. The question was, where did this guy play college ball?
First off, I went straight to the basics, did a quick search. And guess what? Turns out, Freeman was a standout at Ohio State University. Yeah, he was a Buckeye from 2004 to 2008.
Then I did some more research, wanting to see how he got there. It looks like he started turning heads way back in high school, at Wayne High in Huber Heights, Ohio. From there, he made the leap to Ohio State, which is like, one of the biggest college football programs out there.
I kept digging, and it’s clear Freeman made the most of his time at Ohio State. He was good enough to get drafted by the Chicago Bears in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. After that, he bounced around a bit, spending time with the Bears, the Buffalo Bills, and the Houston Texans.
But here’s where it gets interesting. After his NFL days, Freeman went back to college football, but this time as a coach. He worked his way up and eventually landed the head coaching gig at Notre Dame.
Some Fun Facts I Dug Up
