Top Recruits
Jasen Kelly Jasen Kelly 6'2" | 205 lbs | LB Whitmer | 2024 State OH , LB, 2024 – Jasen is a flat out stud. He has 8 offers on the table from Group and Power of 5 schools. He is very athletic and can run well to the ball every time. He is very twitchy and makes tough plays look easy. He is stout against the run with the size to shed blocks easily. He is great against the pass and cancels a lot of underneath routes. Fast enough to run with the backs out of the backfield. He goes all out on every play. Impressive player with great upside.
Aidan Earl, C, 2023 – Aidan is a great OL. He snaps and punches really well. He keeps his feet wide and gets great drive from his hands and his hips. His drive blocks are physical and he gets great coverage laterally on outside plays. His pass blocking is advanced with good posture and punch. He plays with a mean streak and routinely puts good players in the dirt.
Brady Ford Brady Ford 6'1" | 205 lbs | QB Whitmer | 2025 State OH , QB, 2025 – Brady is a flat out sophomore stud. He has a couple offers on the table already. He has great mechanics and read progression. He can really sling the ball to all the routes with velocity. His deep ball has touch. He can launch the ball from multiple arm angles and throws well outside the pocket. He runs the ball well and is very athletic in the open field. Brady is worth every second on the film.

Gabriel Pence, LB, 2023 – Gabriel is an absolute stud. He is a sideline to sideline LB with great speed and athleticism. Very impressive against the run. He is patient in his reads and plays his gaps with toughness. He can get over the top really quickly and run plays down on the outside. He is great in pass coverage and cancels the underneath routes. He rushes the edge well with speed and power and is athletic enough to bend down hard back to the QB. Very impressive player.
Jack Kendall, LB, 2023 – Jack plays with his hair on fire. He is very patient and gets to his assignments every time. He reads plays well and maintains his gaps. Impressive tackler and always gets the player on the ground. He can play sideline to sideline on outside run and makes good tackles in the gap. He blitzes well and is hard to block due to his good strength. He cancels underneath routes with his speed and plays through the hands. Keep an eye on him the rest of the way.
Andrew Leonard, QB, 2025 – Another rising star for the Patriots. Has command of the offense and shows leadership. Can make all the throws you need him too. He is very good inside the pocket and makes people take notice of him in the open field. He has great arm talent and can launch it multiple ways. Keep a good eye on him going forward.
Alex Okuley, WR, 2023 – He is a very athletic WR into the boundary and can beat you on the tunnel screen with wiggle and over the top with his speed. He is tall and has great leaping ability. He attacks the ball in the air and accelerates quickly into the secondary. You must account for him on every play. Very good prospect in the 2023 class.
