Bloomington South Dasan McCullough Dasan McCullough 6'5" | 225 lbs | ATH Bloomington South | 2022 State IN (6’5” and 225lbs) @Dasan2022
Previous: WL Current: #1
Although McCullough has yet to play a down in the state, his skill set that he possess is extremely unique. The ground he’s able to cover is impressive, with a very high football IQ to boot. The former Ohio State commit flipped his pledge over the summer to play for Indiana, his father just took a job on the staff during the offseason. It’s difficult to guess which position McCullough will end up playing, he would excel as a wide receiver, tight end, either safety spot or as an outside linebacker. My best guess would be OLB, due to his coverage skills and speed. Either way, the Hoosiers are getting a phenomenal prospect, one of the best in the country not just the state.
Lawrenceburg OL Ashton Craig Ashton Craig 6'5" | 285 lbs | OL Lawrenceburg | 2022 State IN (6’5” and 285lbs)

Notre Dame has a very good track record with their offensive line development and they don’t need to recruit at a local level. They did with Craig, securing his commitment recently making it two instate pledges along with #6 ranked Joey Tanona Joey Tanona 6'5" | 295 lbs | OL Zionsville | 2022 State IN . The riser is a devastating run blocker, who has plenty of room to fill out his already large frame. Craig is extremely quick for his size, who is very strong at the point of attack. Even though he projects as an interior lineman, there’s tons of potential in his game.
East Noble Chris Hood Chris Hood 6'8" | 320 lbs | OL East Noble | 2022 State IN (6’8” and 320lbs) @chrishood68
Previous: #117 Current: #15
A massive frame for the Ball State commit, Hood isn’t just a big body along the line. He’s got great leg drive and he often takes defenders for a ride. Hood has a great initial punch, showing his strength. Like many prospects at this time of their development, he’s a better run blocker than he is pass, but the footwork is there for him to improve over time. As a run blocker, Hood has a great first step off the ball and barrels over his opposition.
East Noble ATH (WR/FS/LB) Rowan Zolman Rowan Zolman 6'5" | 200 lbs | ATH East Noble | 2022 State IN (6’5” and 200lbs) @rowanz13
Previous: #77 Current: #24
As a receiver Zolman has great speed, uses his body well to shield off defenders to high point the ball and a very good set of hands. When he moves to the other side of the ball, great reads are made due to his familiarity as an offensive player. Zolman has a very projectable frame, one that should see him add on a minimum of 20-30 pounds when he arrives at a college weight room. He could end up on the offensive side of the ball, but as an outside linebacker, to me his ceiling is much higher. He’s getting some MAC interest but if he continues to develop, Zolman could see himself getting Power 5 offers this fall.
Ben Davis ATH (DT/OG) David Lara-Gonzalez David Lara-Gonzalez 6'3" | 295 lbs | ATH Ben Davis | 2022 State IN (6’3” and 295lbs) @D_Gonzalez52
Previous: #94 Current: #47
Another athlete that will a school will figure out his position at a later time. Lara-Gonzalez has a longer frame and has plenty of strength to go along with it. He plays with a mean streak, which really stands out well on both sides of the ball. I tend to like him better on offense as a guard, but Lara-Gonzalez could end up anchoring the interior of a defense line. There’s a lot of potential with Lara-Gonzalez’s game as an interior lineman.
North Central Keyshaun Pipkin Keyshaun Pipkin 6'3" | 190 lbs | WR North Central | 2022 State IN (6’3” and 190lbs) @keygotfanz
Previous: #70 Current #25
First off, Pipkin has great size with plenty of room to continue to add muscle to his frame. He’s got a great feel for running routes as well, he’s not just a guy that runs a 9-route due to his speed, Pipkin excels with a variety of routes. When the ball is in the air, he does a very good job of tracking its trajectory and using his body to shield off defenders. He’s a long strider that has very good hands. I really liked what I saw from his junior film and there’s a lot of potential for him to have a very impressive senior year.
Cathedral DB Bryce Llewellyn Bryce Llewellyn 5'11" | 200 lbs | DB Cathedral | 2022 State IN (5’11” and 200lbs) @LlewellynBryce
Previous: #65 Current: #40
I got a chance to see Llewellyn live over the offseason and he was one of the best in attendance. After getting a chance to break down his film, it was clear that he was going to make a jump in the rankings. Llewellyn is extremely strong and has fairly loose hips. To me I see more of a safety who can occasionally cover the slot. He’s a big hitter as well, with a good football IQ. I fully expect a big final season and Llewellyn’s stock to continue to climb.
