As Ohio prepares to enter preseason camp, the competition for the quarterback spot is crowded. Freshman Josh Febus, who used his redshirt last season, is one of the candidates. The 6-2, 203-pounder saw significant action in the Spring game completing 10 of 19 passes for 83 yards. BobcatAttack.com's Rollie Merriman got a chance to fire off a few questions to Febus.

In high school, he played his senior season at Hargrave Military Academy and Cummings High School (Burlington, NC) before that. He was ranked the #14 player in the state o...
