2023 Ranking Risers in Central Ohio

This upcoming season will be critical for some Central Ohio standouts to position themselves for big time college football.  I will detail 5 rising seniors poised to get higher rankings. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Pickerington Central</span></strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="189555" first="Isaiah" last="Harper"]</strong>, DB/Returner - Isaiah is a very good athlete with excellent twitch and wiggle.  He scored many times this season as a returner and has great ball skills and vision.  Plays the Safety position well and gets downhill fast.  He is a good tackler with wrap and hip drive.  I am really impressed with his overall abilities.  He is the 88th ranked player in Ohio and will climb the list this off season. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13217655/Isaiah-Harper">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13217655/Isaiah-Harper</a> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Washington Court House</strong></span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="93338" first="Trevaughn" last="Jackson"]</strong>, OLB/RB/Returner - Trevaughn is our 82nd ranked player in Ohio and is one of the best athletes in Central Ohio.  He has great playmaking ability and is really athletic.  He plays with a nasty streak and devastates ball carriers at times with his tackling.  He has good technique and is around the ball on every play.  He drops into coverage like a DB and is quick to cancel out routes.  He has very good ball skills and leaping ability making interceptions more likely. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12437228/Trevaughn-Jackson">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12437228/Trevaughn-Jackson</a> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Pickerington North</strong></span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="92622" first="David" last="Alabi"]</strong>, DE - David is the 75th ranked player in Ohio but will climb the rankings as the off season goes on.  He plays with aggression and athleticism.  He is routinely in the backfield wreaking havoc and making plays.  Very impressive ball get off to lockout.  He has quick hands and sheds easily.  His best ability is his pass rush.  He does a nice job of turning the corner and making plays on the QB. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13025642/618fcea966562e08bcf84581">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13025642/618fcea966562e08bcf84581</a> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Dublin Scioto</strong></span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="92612" first="Ed" last="Worthen"]</strong>, RB - Ed is a powerhouse RB.  Very good vision, burst, and tough to tackle.  He had a great Junior season and is the 62nd ranked player in Ohio.  He is certainly worth a long and hard look on film.  He has great flexibility in his hips and does a great job of getting vertical quickly in the gaps.  He is a patient runner with good wiggle in the open field.  Catches well from the backfield and was part of one of the most prolific offenses in Scioto history.
