Five Sleepers to Know in the 2022 Class

<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34488" first="Evan" last="White"], OL, 6’4, 245, Anthony Wayne</strong> White moves very well for a guy his size and posses really quick feet. He can climb to the second level and has good hand placement when getting locked on to a defender. He’s quick of the ball and can block a spiking defensive lineman. He will need to add a little more weight, but the talent is clearly evident on film. To me, he’s an FBS level kid with a good junior season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34429" first="Markim" last="McKinnie"], RB, 5’11, 185, Barberton</strong> When you watch Mckinnie’s film, the first thing that pops out at you is his ability to accelerate with the football in his hands. This kid can get moving at the drop of a hat, but can also stop on a dime effortlessly. He’s a serious threat catching the ball out of the backfield, as linebackers struggled to guard him all year. He did some good things at corner too and showed that he had really tight breaks. I think 2020 could be a huge year for him on both sides of the ball. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34415" first="Charlie" last="Kenrich"], TE, 6’3 220, Lakota East</strong> Kenrich is a really interesting prospect to me. He played all of last fall as a wing-back and did some great things for Lakota East. The kid is a tough runner with the ball in this hands and constantly ran through arm tackles. He’s got really soft hands for a big guy and is tremendous at tracking the ball in the air. He’s mean as a blocker and will drive a defender until the whistle is blown. I’m very interested in following his career; the athleticism is most certainly there, I just want to see what he can do with his hand in the dirt as a true tight end. I think the offers are coming. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34433" first="Jokell" last="Brown"], DL, 6’0, 270, Springfield</strong> Brown does a fantastic job of bursting off the ball, with low pad level. He’s exceptionally strong and knows how to use the bull rush to his advantage. He consistently would lock out his arms and get extension on interior offensive linemen before ripping off and making a tackle. He’s got a strong anchor and can manage against double team situations. Jokell has quick hands, and will often use them when catching offensive lineman lunging forward. Brown, to me, is a three-technique at the next level and will play his best ball there. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34435" first="Micah" last="Mckee"], DB, 6’6, 185, Wooster</strong> Mckee could be a potential Division one prospect at both wide receiver and Defensive back. On offense, he’s a long strider who can do some serious damage after the catch. He was a mismatch in the redzone and hauled in numerous goalline fades. On defense, he did a phenomenal job of breaking on the quarterback and was extremely rangy. He has overall impressive closing speed and isn’t afraid to lower his shoulder on opposing skill players. I think he’s a free-safety at the next level, just because it’s so hard to find DB’s with his size and athleticism.
