1. According to WKYC.com, "Star offensive lineman from Avon has decided where he will continue his football career. On Sunday, Luke Hamilton officially announced he is "1000% Committed" to play for Jim Harbaugh at the University of Michigan. The decision was somewhat ironic, as it came one day after the Wolverines took down the Buckeyes 45-23 in Columbus to earn their second straight victory in one of sports' greatest rivalries." Congratulations Luke. (WKYC.com)
