Dublin Jerome
Derek Hole, LB – Derek is a beast of a LB from the middle. He is big, fast, and physical with a motor that never quits. He has good eye discipline and reads plays well. When he triggers, can close ground fast and get to the ball carrier on inside or outside run. He plays well over the top and can chase down ball carriers. He is a ferocious tackler. His pass drop technique is quick and he cancels routes. Impressive blitzer with relentless nature.

Hilliard Darby
Ben Marsh Ben Marsh 6'3" | 225 lbs | LB Hilliard Darby | 2023 State OH , MLB – Ben was a force on the Darby defense. He makes plays in the run and pass game all over the field. He plays beyond his age and reminds me of a seasoned college defensive player. Very patient and technical. Reads plays well and takes on blocks with his hands inside. He sheds blocks well away from his gap and makes tough tackles in the hole. Gets over the top quickly and makes good tackles on the perimeter. When called upon is a sufficient pass dropper with good closing speed on the routes underneath.

Olentangy
Evan Rindlaub, WR, RB, SB, FS, PR, KR – Evan is one of the best players for the Braves and a superstar in the conference. He lines up at multiple positions on offense and is extremely dynamic playmaker. On defense he is the field sheriff and caps the top of the defense with a presence. He is the kind of player who you don’t kick too on Special Teams. He has twitch, wiggle, open field separation, and flat out speed to score. He stands 6’3 and is physical as a FS, triggering downhill fast in the run game. He has very good hips and can turn and close easily. Outstanding football player worth every minute of film watching.

Olentangy Berlin
Austin Watt, DL – Austin is a beast of a player for Berlin. Comes off the ball very quickly and plays in the backfield. He is extremely athletic and reads plays well from lockout. Gets in his gap and stays there. He has a relentless pass rush from the interior. Can play both NG and 3 Tech. Currently he has an offer from UMass, and is garnering interest from Penn State, Wisconsin, and Northwestern.

Marysville
Brady Seger QB – He is the commander of the offense and throws a nice tight spiral. His accuracy is on point and he is able to make many of the throws. Good athlete with twitch and wiggle in the open field. Delivers the ball with quickness and is a full field reader in a pro style offense. He can think through multiple reads and is a heady player. Worth keeping an eye on this off-season.

Thomas Worthington
Simon Smith, WR – Simon is a dynamic playmaker at receiver. He is a great athlete and extremely fast. He lines up as the X receiver to the boundary and can outrun and jump almost everyone. He runs good deep and intermediate routes getting separation from defenders. He attacks the ball in the air with his hands and eyes well. He is dynamic in the open field with good wiggle and twitch.
