When an unwanted visitor made his way onto the field at Ohio Stadium Saturday night during the Buckeyes’ home game with Cincinnati, an unlikely candidate – OSU assistant strength coach Anthony Schlegel – decided to handle things.

Schlegel played linebacker for the Buckeyes and when this fan made his way onto the field, the former member of the New York Jets and Cincinnati Bengals showed us he still has some skills.

While that may not have been a prototypical form tackle, that was still an emphatic slam that the culprit will surely feel for the next few days.

Schlegel, now in his third season on the strength staff, played for the Buckeyes in 2004 and 2005 after transferring from Air Force. In those two seasons, Schlegel recorded a total of 166 tackles while playing alongside A.J. Hawk and Bobby Carpenter before getting drafted in the third round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the New York Jets.
