(Medina) 6’0 180- Knowles is a skilled receiver who runs polished routes. At 6’0 180 he has good size for the position. Where Austin excels, is his ball skills. He has several highlight reel type plays. He uses excellent body control, hands, and jumping ability to high point the ball and make plays. He does a really good job of tracking the ball and playing through contact. While he’s not a burner he does a good job of using quickness and footwork to get separation.

(Austintown Fitch) 5’10 195- Williams is a really strong one cut runner who runs with good vision. DJ also has the speed to pull away if he gets into the open. He’s explosive out of his stance in the shotgun formation, but he runs with the patience to allow the hole to develop when needed. Because of his vision and one cut running style I really like him in a zone run scheme at the college level. I’m excited to see where things go for Williams this offseason and headed into his senior season. Williams has D1 offers from Eastern Kentucky, Toledo, Ball State, and Eastern Michigan, and I expect him to continue to add offers this offseason.

(Withrow) 6’3 265- At 6’3 265 Scriber has an athletic build and game. He shows good feet and a quick kick step in pass protection. Blake also has quick hands that he uses to fend off opposing pass rush moves. He mirrors defenders and stays in front of his man well. In the run game he’s quick enough to get to the second level and execute blocks. If Blake can continue to add good weight and strength, I think he’ll continue to progress as a run blocker and in his anchor in pass pro sets. This season will be chance to develop and get things moving in his recruiting.

(Notre Dame Cathedral Latin) 6’3 215- Physically at 6’3 215, Grambo, has a great frame to work with. He lines up at outside linebacker for the Lions. Josh is a versatile backer. He’s comfortable both coming off the edge as well as dropping to cover. As a pass rusher he uses good acceleration, quickness to beat his man. When the blocker is able to engage Grambo does a good job of using his hands and length to win. In coverage he shows good hips and an ability to turn and run with receivers. I believe Josh could grow into a really good OLB who can play all three downs and has the versatility to rush or cover. He just needs to continue to add good weight and strength.

(Steubenville) 6’1 170- Buggs plays both sides of the ball for the Big Red as he lines up at both wide receiver and cornerback. While I think Ivan could play wide receiver at the college level, I think he has D1 upside as a cornerback. He has the speed and athleticism to run with receivers. At 6’1 he has the length and the ball skills to play the ball when it’s in the air. Bugg’s is not afraid to come up and deliver a blow in the run game. As Buggs is able to add some weight and get a little stronger. I could really see Buggs recruitment take off this camp season.
