COLUMBUS, Ohio - The path to the field has not been quick for linebacker Etienne Sabino to date, but that looks like it will clear up in the 2011 season. The former Miami (Fla.) Dr. Krop high school star took a redshirt in the 2010 season and now has a clear shot to the starting linebacking corps alongside Andrew Sweat and a player yet to be determined.

One would expect the one-time four star recruit to be bitter and disheartened with his delay to the field, but that is not the case. This spring has been a time to flourish for the 6-foot-3, 240-pounder.

We caught up with Sabino after a recent spring practice to get his thoughts on finally getting his chance to shine and about how the rest of the team is looking. Check it out in this video update.
