<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In central Illinois there is only one conference that reigns supreme and that is the Central State Eight. Home to both Rochester and Sacred Heart Griffin, who have a combined 14 state titles since 2005, the amount of talent in the 217 is never ending. These are some of the top Offensive Prospects for the upcoming class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Paul Hartman","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Springfield High School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"This gigantic 3-sport athlete from the state capital is an intriguing prospect. In an offense where he wasn't asked to throw the ball a lot he still managed over 500 yards and 7 touchdown passes. Look for him to take more control of the offense and be a bigger part in 2023. He throws a nice deep ball with a quick release and his track speed shows up when you least expect it. I fully anticipate him leaving this summer camp season with multiple offers to play college football.

His speed out of the backfield is apparent from the dust he leaves defenders behind in, and he has soft hands to handle passes out in space as well. He is a legitimate threat to score any time he touches the ball. Look for him to have another big season in 2023 and garner a ton of interest during the summer camp season.

He also has managed to rush for over 400 yards and attempt 10 passes with 2 touchdowns there.

You can find him split wide, inline tight or even in the backfield. He is an adept blocker and moves well in space for his size.

Look for Ethan to get the bulk of the carries in 2023 as SHG looks to make it to a third straight state title game. In typical SHG running back form he is tough to tackle inside but has the speed and quickness to get to the edge or split the middle wide open. I would expect close to 1000 yards from Ethan in 2023.
