The Ohio State student who ran onto the field and was absolutely wrecked by the Buckeyes' Anthony Schlegel won’t have his entire life wrecked, after all.

The mechanical engineering major, Anthony Wunder, will keep his scholarship and will just have to pay a $100 fine and court costs for criminal trespassing. He’ll still have to nurse a bruised ego after running onto the field last month -- and well, probably quite a few other bruises after that hit by OSU’s assistant strength and conditioning coach -- but he seems to have escaped from the matter all right.

From The Columbus Dispatch:

The sentence, imposed by Judge H. William Pollitt Jr., was consistent with the penalties typically given for the low-level misdemeanor when committed by someone like Wunder who has no criminal record, said Lara Baker-Morrish, Columbus’ chief prosecutor.

Wunder will retain his scholarship through the Evans Scholars Foundation, provided that he completes an alcohol-awareness program, said Jeff Harrison, senior vice president of education at Western Golf Association, which sponsors the foundation.

“Anthony has accepted responsibility; he’s apologized and cooperated fully,” Harrison said. “He’s a good kid who made a mistake.”

In case you’ve somehow forgotten, Wunder – a Cincinnati native – ran onto the field Sept. 27 against the Cincinnati Bearcats. Schlegel stepped onto the field in khakis, wasn’t fooled by Wunder’s half-hearted stutter step and body-slammed the 21-year-old to the turf before literally dragging and throwing him off the field.

According to ESPN.com’s Austin Ward, former Ohio State head coach Earle Bruce yelled from the press box: “Best tackler we ever had!”

Schlegel, a former Ohio State linebacker, was a third-round NFL draft pick in 2006. So bad decision for Wunder, who can no longer live in Evans Scholars housing or participate in related activities.

OSU coach Urban Meyer even gave Schlegel the Buckeyes' "Hit City Award" for the takedown.
