Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel encouraged 13 of his juniors to ask the NFL where they might go in the next draft. Tressel declined to identify the players Thursday during Ohio State's bowl media day news conference. "I'm sure you could guess," he said. Linebackers James Laurinaitis and Marcus Freeman, quarterback Todd Boeckman, defensive lineman Vernon Gholston, cornerback Malcolm Jenkins and wide receivers Brian Robiskie and Brian Hartline confirmed they had sent information to the NFL. The top-ranked Buckeyes (11-1) play No. 2 LSU (11-2) in the BCS National Championship Game at the Louisiana Superdome on Jan. 7.
