Laurinaitis Playboy All-American

Courtesy of BroncosSports.com, there are some early (and somewhat blurry) photos floating around of the 2007 Playboy All-American team. James Laurinaitis makes the grade and finds himself manning the middle of the linebacking corp, flanked by USC's Keith Rivers and Erin Henderson of Maryland.

The photo is the best I can find that shows JL front and center, obviously waiting his cue to mean mug for the photog. There were no other Buckeyes on the list, though one could make a solid argument for the inclusion of Vernon Gholston or even Malcolm Jenkins. On the offensive side, Beanie Wells is rightfully missing by virtue of his lack of experience but I have idea he'll make his presence known by end of season.
