Columbus Academy
Emmanuel Jenkins, WR – Emmanuel is one of the best athletes in Central Ohio. He carries a 3.64 GPA and gets it done in the classroom as well. He is very fast, twitchy, and has open field wiggle. At WR he is a matchup nightmare and runs great deep routes. He is a playmaker with the ball in the air and always a threat to score. He attacks the ball. I am impressed with his kick returning ability where it is better to not kick to him. Plays corner and is equally good in zone and man coverage. He has patient backpedal technique and good breaks. Keep an eye on him this camp season.

Bexley
Jon Speiss Jon Speiss 5'10" | 170 lbs | QB Bexley | 2023 OH , QB – Jon is a rising star in Central Ohio. He stands 5’10 and weighs in at 170. He is very athletic and can make good throws from inside and outside the pocket. He throws with velocity and can push the ball downfield when needed. He reads plays well and is patient in the pocket. His running ability is a threat every play and when the protection breaks down he uses his elusiveness and speed to make plays. He also punts and can really get good hang time on the ball. Keep a good eye on his progression through this off season.

Grandview Heights
Maddox Baker, RB – Maddox had and outstanding Junior season. When he steps on the field he is one of the best players. He is explosive with the ball in his hands. He has good vision and the burst to make positive plays out of nothing. He is dynamic in the open field with twitch and wiggle. He is tough to tackle and runs really hard. Going to be exciting the rest of the way.

Buckeye Valley
Mitchell Melfe, CB – Mitchell stands at 6’2 and dominates out on the field. He carries a 4.0 GPA in the classroom. He covers a lot of ground in the secondary with long strides and patient backpedals. Transitions downhill well and has good hips. He can play man and is a beast in zone coverage with his long arms. He plays WR on offense and is a matchup nightmare. Runs good routes and appears to have high football IQ. He attacks the ball in the air and outjumps the competition. He will hit the camp circuit and garner some interest.

Whitehall
Paul Fetherolf, OT – Paul is a good OT with good size and toughness. Plays out of a two point stance and has good technique in the run and pass game. He is a good pass blocker with long arms to keep people at bay and make them run the edge. He finishes to the whistle and drives his feet through defenders. I am impressed with his reach block ability on the front and backside of the play.

Worthington Christian
Correll Amsbaugh, TE – Correll is an outstanding offensive football player out of a small school. He runs really good routes and can out jump anyone. He blocks well and dominates at the point of attack. He gets open in the voids and has a good sense to sit down in the windows. He moves really well laterally when blocking and covers up defenders. He is impressive with his hands when the ball is in the air. He made 2nd Team All State this season and I expect will garner attention on the recruiting trail.
