Central Ohio had an outstanding season on the recruiting front.  Prep Redzone has updated the 2022 rankings heading into the winter home stretch. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Marysville</strong></span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34375" first="Gabe" last="Powers"]</strong>, LB (Ohio State) - The Buckeyes are getting a phenomenal talent and he is our number 1 ranked player in Ohio.  Gabe is big, fast, and very physical.  He makes plays sideline to sideline and has to be accounted for on every snap.  He gets to lockout quickly and sheds with ease.  He is a tremendous tackler and gets ball carriers to the ground quickly.  He closes out underneath routes fast and has the wingspan to eliminate crossers, intermediates, and flat routes.  He rushes the passer relentlessly and makes plays in the backfield. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Westerville South</span></strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34379" first="Kaden" last="Saunders"]</strong>, WR (Penn State) -  Penn State lacks playmakers at the moment and this 3rd ranked player in Ohio will bode well for the Nittany Lion offense.  He is a versatile athlete with great quickness and hops.  He catches everything thrown his way and is a threat to score on every play.  He gets on top of the defenders and separates.  He can run effective jet sweeps and is utilized in the spread option game.  Played the Z, X, and slot this year. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Canal Winchester</strong></span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34386" first="Stephan" last="Byrd"]</strong>, RB (Cincinnati) - The Bearcats landed the 16th ranked player in Ohio.  Stephan is a big back with versatility who is hard to tackle.  Possesses the speed and athleticism to score every time he touches the ball.  He has good hands out of the backfield and a good catch radius.  He is patient in his runs and does a good job of hitting the holes with good timing.  When called upon to block he does a good job of getting his hands inside and running his feet.
