Top Six Uncommitted Players in Class of 2022

I am sure within the next two weeks some of the players mentioned in this article will pull the trigger and announce where they will play their college ball, but at this point, they are still playing hard to get. All six of these athletes have multiple offers and will be huge recruiting victory for the schools that land these talented football players. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34387" first="Ryan" last="Baer"]     6’7” 320     OL     Eastlake</strong> This massive offensive guard plays a little high at times, but he gets excellent movement at the point of attack and absolutely annihilates defenders on the down block. Baer has a huge wingspan which helps him control the opposition in both the run game and in pass protection. Ryan has over 20 offers and don’t be surprised if it doesn’t boil down to a fight between Michigan State and Kentucky. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34376" first="Gi’Bran" last="Payne"]     5’10” 205     RB     Cincinnati LaSalle</strong> Payne is one of the top running backs in the Midwest who has the combination of power and elusiveness coaches look for in a great runner. He also has sure hands and can be used as a receiver coming out of the backfield or flexed out as a slot receiver in the empty set. Payne recently announced his final top ten schools of interest, and four of them are in Big Ten; Wisconsin, Penn State, Michigan, and Northwestern. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34397" first="Xavier" last="Preston"]     6’1” 185     RB     Stow-Munroe Falls</strong> It’s easy to see why schools would like to land this gifted runner. Preston has sprinter speed who is a threat to take the football the distance every time he touches the football. He is a slashing running back who slides through small openings at the line of scrimmage or bounces the ball to the perimeter to find daylight. His acceleration in the openfield is exciting to watch as he pulls away from defenders. The University of Cincinnati may be the lead school for Preston right now. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34384" first="Aamil" last="Wagner"]     6’6” 255     OL     Huber Heights Wayne</strong> Wagner is likely to end up an Ohio State Buckeye, but it’s not a done deal. As good as he already is, this tall and athletic offensive tackle has the frame to put on more weight and become an exceptional collegiate offensive lineman. He plays with low pad level and great leverage for such a tall lineman. Wagner is especially impressive as he works his way to the second level picking up linebackers and defensive backs in space. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34398" first="Rodney" last="Harris"]     6’3” 205     WR     Cincinnati Princeton</strong> Where this number two ranked wide receiver in Ohio ends up is anybody’s guess at this point despite a few people think he’s leaning to the University of Pittsburgh. This tall and thick receiver is a physical specimen who runs precision routes and has deceiving speed when going deep. He runs the takeoff and skinny post to perfection and has the leaping ability to go up in a crowd to haul in the pass. Harris is a complete receiver by being an outstanding stalk blocker in space. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34452" first="Mekhi" last="Lynn"]     6’2” 185     QB     Cincinnati Princeton</strong> Lynn is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the state. He does an exceptional job of moving his offense down the field by throwing precision underneath coverage routes or by using his legs to pick up needed yardage. He has a quick release and can put the ball on target to his receivers as they break out of their routes. Lynn can fit the ball into small windows when throwing intermediate routes but also has the arm strength to go deep when necessary.
