Under The Radar: Central Ohio 2023

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Year in and year out central Ohio is stacked with talented prospects that can play at the next level that go unnoticed.  In this article, we will be focused on the athletes in the class of 2023 that should be on your radar, and attending summer college camps will boost their stock. </span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="284445" first="Malik" last="Ray"] | 6’0" 200 | LB/RB | Pickerington North </strong> Malik jumps film tells it all with his ability to play downhill, defeat blockers, and drop into coverage. His film consists of tackles for losses, sideline to sideline plays, and forcing turnovers. He is always around the ball and making game-changing plays. Definitely a diamond, and I look forward to watching him and would say he is the best linebacker in central Ohio in this class. Who ever bets on [player_tooltip player_id="284445" first="Malik" last="Ray"] is getting a real good football player! <strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12818830/Malik-Ray">Hudl</a>/ <a href="https://twitter.com/malik_ray25">Twitter</a></strong> &nbsp; <strong>Ryan Steinbrink | 6’4" 270 | OL | Canal Winchester</strong> Ryan is a good size lineman that is athletic, powerful and finishes finishes blocks.  In his film he show cases his ability to pass &amp; run block. His athleticism gives him the ability to work to the second level with ease, pull and flip his hips into the gap, and can get out into space to make blocks in the screen game. In the run game he is a mover that has a good punch and excel at down blocking. I am really impressed with this kid, and expect him to up his stock this summer! <strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12974078/Ryan-Steinbrink">Hudl</a>/ <a href="https://twitter.com/steinbrinkryan">Twitter</a></strong> &nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="92628" first="Dawaun" last="Green"] | 6’1" 230 | RB | Pickerington North </strong> Dawaun is a natural big bag that is a mix of agility &amp; deceptive speed and will run behind his pads to get the tough yardage who just recently won Runningback MVP at the under amour camp in Columbus, Ohio. He has toned up this offseason and got into shape which will help him be more consistent &amp; be able to break the long ones that he couldn’t last year due to his size. With him being in shape he is aligned for a big season. <strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13041175/Dawaun-Green/highlights">Hudl</a>/ <a href="https://twitter.com/dawaungreen?[player_tooltip player_id=">Twitter</a></strong> &nbsp; <strong><span data-sheets-value="{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Brady Sestili LB Dublin Jerome &quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&quot;2&quot;:6723,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;4&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:16777215},&quot;9&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0},&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Arial&quot;}">Brady Sestili </span>| 6’3" 190 | OLB/SS | <span data-sheets-value="{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Brady Sestili LB Dublin Jerome &quot;}" data-sheets-userformat="{&quot;2&quot;:6723,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;4&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:16777215},&quot;9&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0},&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Arial&quot;}"> Dublin Jerome</span></strong> Brady is long physical player that plays with a ton of passion &amp; energy. He has good instincts playing downhill and beating linemen across their face &amp; taking them head on. Plays well in space and understands how to take on blocker with leverage so he is still able to make tackles or keep extending plays to side line.  I would like to see him us his length to his advantage more and use his more hands .  Don’t sleep on this kid! <strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12933444/617a9f03bed6890550bdb41d">Hudl</a>/ <a href="https://twitter.com/bradysestili">Twitter</a></strong> &nbsp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="274834" first="Jacob" last="Harris"] | 6’3" 190 | WR/TE | Westerville Central </strong> Jacob is a big body tall receiver at the high school level that has good speed. He consistently wins on deep balls and uses his big frame to box defenders out before high-pointing the ball. I would like to see him run different routes to see what his true ability is. The athletic ability is there and If he can show he can win &amp; create separation on short- intermediate routes while at college camps this summer will be good for him. <strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14923063/Jacob-Harris/highlights">Hudl</a>/ <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/realjacobharris">Twitter</a></strong>
