Tyler Ernsberger (QB 6’4 170 2023) – Tyler is one of the better small school QB’s in Central Ohio. He is tall and athletic. He has started for a couple of years now and shows the maturity which comes from experience. His ability to read defenders in the run and pass is very advanced. He has a strong arm and can make all the throws. He has very good accuracy and puts the ball where it needs to be on the body of the receivers. He runs well when pulling the ball down and is a dual threat. He leads with command and has a good sense of tempo. His 3.79 GPA is worth noting and he deserves a good look on film.
Matt Chaykowski (RB, 6’0 170 2023) – Matt was a good find last night. He is big, fast, and has wiggle. He runs behind his pads and is tough. He has great vision and patience in the zone run game. He finds the creases, makes 1 cut, and gets vertical with authority. In the open field he can really run away from defenders. He has good patience and hands in the screen game. He plays three sports at a high level and is a leader in the classroom.

Ian Rutherford (OL, 6’2 250 2024) – Ian is a masher on the interior of the OL. At halftime he led the team off the field and has very good leadership qualities in the 2024 class. He is flexible in his stance and comes off the ball with power and drive. He gets underneath defenders and plays with a nasty streak to the whistle. Very adept at run blocking and moves well straight ahead and laterally. He has good feet in his pass posture and a powerful punch. He finishes blocks well and drives defenders into the dirt.
Bradley Schilling (OL, 6’2 245 2023) – Brad plays LT and DE. He is one of the best players on the field. Very technical is his run and pass blocking with a nasty streak. He is flexible in his stance and comes off the snap very quickly. He has a powerful punch with good elbow tightness. He keeps his feet moving fast and drives to the whistle. He is fast and gets out in front in the screen game quickly. I am impressed with his ability to switch sides and wreak havoc on the DL. Keeps a flat back and creates a new LOS. Reads plays well and transitions from the run to the pass well. Has a good bend and rip move on the edge and closes quickly. Going to be highly sought after this season.

Nicholas Purdy (OL, 6’3 245 2023) – I love this kid. He plays with aggression and a nasty side which is fun to watch. He comes off the snap low and hard and drives defenders into the dirt. He gets after defenders and keeps his feet moving. Moves well forward and laterally and has all the tools to be great. His pass blocking is exceptional and keeps the pocket clean. On defense he is a plugger and takes his gap with authority. He reads plays well and gets down the LOS quickly. He has a great bull rush and causes issues for blocking schemes in the run and pass.

Pawie Ault (RB, 5’8 190 2023) – Pawie is a transfer from Bay Village and the Colts are happy to have him. He is one of the most versatile and athletic players on the field. He can play RB and Slot very well. He is fast, strong, and athletic. He gets in the open field and has great wiggle. He can score everytime he touches the ball. His vision is exemplary and gets vertical quickly. I am really impressed with his ability to be a patient runner with 1 cut ability. When they flex him out is a matchup nightmare. Keep a good eye on him.

Kaden Riddle (DL, 6’4 265 2023) – Kaden is a great two way OL/DL who gets after it every play. He does not come off the field. He is an imposing DL with great quickness and toughness. He comes off the snap very low and hard and creates a new LOS easily. He reads blocks well and can move well laterally in the run game. Maintains his gaps and sheds easily. His pass rush is advanced and has pre planned moves it seems. On Offense he has good technique and plays with a nasty demeanor. His punch is powerful and he separates and rides well. Keep an eye on him in the small school 2023 class.
