ONU's Trusnik makes Jets' practice squad

Ohio Northern product Jason Trusnik is a New York Jet.
It didn't seem that way on Saturday, as Trusnik was let go with the team's final round of cuts. But just a few days later, Trusnik and six other players were signed to the Jets' practice squad.
The former All-American from Ohio Northern is making the move from defensive end to linebacker. He had made four tackles in the four preseason games, including two in the final preseason game against the Eagles.
This is great news for Trusnik and ONU.
Now Trusnik can learn and wait in the wings on the practice squad. If injuries hit, he could even be activated.
He has made the leap from Division III player to a member of the NFL.
But more than anything else, Trusnik has realized his dream.
