The five Ohio State football players suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season made public apologies Tuesday in front of the media at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, speaking for just under seven minutes.

The NCAA suspended quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Dan Herron, receiver DeVier Posey, tackle Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas last Thursday after learning the players violated NCAA rules by selling apparel, gear and memorabilia.

DeVier Posey made a promise to return for his senior year and get his degree, no other players touched on their future.

The players did not take any questions.
