Fairfield is yet another program in the Cincinnati area, with plenty of division one talent on their roster. However, today, I decided not to analyze the guys with multiple FBS offers on their squad and shifted my focus to the guys who are hidden gems. These young men have a boatload of talent & are just waiting to be seen by college coaches. Look for their recruitment to get a spark following the 2022 campaign. With that being said, here’s who you need to know!
OL: Dalton Davis, 6’3″ 290, SR
- Good size for a center prospect.
- Hands are like bear paws once he latches on.
- Is an effective outside zone blocker who fights to reach down linemen.
- Easily turns the steering wheel in man-blocking schemes.
- Plays aggressively and looks to generate knockdowns.
WR: Braeden Shanklin, 5’9″ 150, JR
- Is a willing blocker on the outside.
- Strong through contact, despite being a smaller receiver.
- Is quite slippery with the football on short to intermediate concepts.
- Has the body control and hand-eye coordination to adjust & make catches on poorly thrown balls.
OL: Collin Robinson, 6’2″ 315, SR
- A tough puller with some serious twitch.
- Hits on a rise and has a lower half that generates a ton of force.
- Constantly plays through the whistle, leading to a plethora of extra pancakes.
- Projects as a center or guard at the next level.
LB: Kavi Bivins, 6′ 210, SR
- Reads his keys and fires into the action.
- Turns into a major issue as a blitzer if left on a back in pass protection.
- Is an effective zone dropper who sees the ball thrown.
- Is a physical tackler who keeps his feet churning on contact.
ATH: Isaiah Glover, 6′ 165, SR
- A big play threat just waiting to happen.
- Helped spring a silly amount of explosive plays with his perimeter blocking.
- Can run with the best of them on the outside on the defensive end of the football.
- Turns into a menace looking for contact when the quarterback passes the line of scrimmage.
RB: Ki’Arran Love, 5’11” 190, SR
- Lightning in a bottle as a return man.
- Change of direction is swift and discrete.
- Has a brute running style, perfect for when he’s asked to run between the tackles.
- Shows impressive vision to spot cutback lanes.
