Kaedyn Dunbar-White, SS/OLB, 2023 – Take a long look at the film and you see an athletic beast in the making. He is a hybrid player with good twitch and running ability. He can take on blocks and shed easily with his strength. Plays multi techniques well and transitions well between them. Closes fast in the run game and forces the ball inside. Closes out underneath routes and can run with slot receivers. Very good tackler with aggression and hip drive.

He is tall and muscular with great arm strength. He commands a presence in the pocket and has the footwork to effectively manage all the throws. He can really spin the ball when needed and has touch on the deep ball. He is a tough tackle and when he pulls the ball down he makes defenders miss.
Angelo McCullom Angelo McCullom 6'2" | 260 lbs | DL Olentangy | 2024 State OH , DL, 2024 – Angelo is a beast and has 5 D1 offers on the table. He can play both on the interior and edge. One of the best DL in Ohio as a junior. Very athletic with a lot of twitch. He is extremely strong and gets extension really well. He moves very well forward and down the LOS. He is always in his gap and playing behind the LOS. His pass rush moves are advanced and he couples it with great bend and finish at the QB. Outstanding talent and should garner a lot more interest going forward.
