Zach Bandy Zach Bandy 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Avon | 2024 State IN – Avon – OT – 6’5″ 270 lbs
Bandy is a very lengthy tackle with arms that can easily grab and prevent any rusher. He’s got a large frame but needs to continue to grow into it. He’s a very light 270 right now. A good chunk of muscle and then learning how to use his body could go a long way in his recruitment. He’s someone who could handpick his school if things go the right way.
Cannon Brunes Cannon Brunes 5'11" | 205 lbs | ATH Western Boone | 2024 State IN – Western Boone – LB – 5’11″ 195 lbs
Brunes has a great natural feel for the game. It comes easily for him and he understands when and how to attack. He’s got the cover skills to be a multi-dimensional LB in the near future. He could hit the weight room and bulk up but that will come with time.
Erik Bedock Erik Bedock 6'3" | 270 lbs | OL LaVille | 2024 State IN – LaVille – OL – 6’3″ 250 lbs
Bedock is, right now, a very raw player and body. As a player, he could really use a coach to help him fine-tune the tools in his toolbox. Bedock could also really build up his frame and put some weight on. But, it’s easy to forget sometimes that these recruits are very young and need time. I expect him to fill in the frame over time and as he does his stock could take a huge jump.
Ray Crawford Ray Crawford 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Triton Central | 2024 State IN – Triton Central – RB – 5’9″ 165 lbs
Crawford is really fun to watch. He’s small and could really use some gym time but what he lacks in size he makes up in agility. If you want to watch a fun and shifty RB go flip on his HUDL. He would be really fun to coach because his best ability is making guys miss in open space. That’s something you can’t teach and having it come naturally goes a very long way in being a successful college football player.
Ethan Elzey Ethan Elzey 6'2" | DL Tri-West Hendricks | 2024 State IN – Tri-West Hendricks – DL – 6’2″ 270lbs
Elzey is going to be a run-stopper for years to come. He is someone where if you put a ton of weight on him he will eat up multiple gaps in the interior of the line. Having a true nose tackle is a great thing for defenses and with the right coaching and development Elzey can be just that.
