Carson Terrell Carson Terrell 6'2" | 200 lbs | QB Northeastern | 2023 State IN – Northeastern – QB – 6’2″ 200lbs
Terrell has officially committed to UINDY with a legitimate chance to see the field soon. Their QB position is unsettled and Terrell is coming in with all the tools to be successful right away. One of my favorite recruits in the entire state, and I’m really excited to see what he does when he gets there next fall!
Damon Sturm Damon Sturm 5'11" | 180 lbs | RB Terre Haute North | 2023 State IN – Terre Haute North – RB – 5’11” 180lbs
Sturm ends his high school career leaving his mark with a legacy that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. What he’s able to do with the ball in his hands, is incredible to watch. Sturm has officially committed to Indiana State and will have the chance to carry the rock for a program that could use a boost in that category.
Trey Gibson Trey Gibson 6'0" | 200 lbs | RB Hobart | 2023 State IN – Hobart – RB – 6’0″ 200lbs
Gibson is a dynamic player who works incredibly hard. He’s officially committed and heading to Marian University to play football. When he arrives, Gibson will have a chance to have a big workload right away. He’s more than talented to play at that level and be an elite player. It wouldn’t shock me if he has a big year and make an impact for them right away.
Jeremiah Berry Jeremiah Berry 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Pike | 2023 State IN – Pike – RB – 6’0″ 195lbs
Berry is another dynamic back in the class with a chance to have a huge role right away. He’s officially committed to Indiana Wesleyan and has a chance to see the field right away. He’s more than talented and he works more than hard enough. If he ends up being their leading back next year, I won’t be shocked.
Jaron Tibbs Jaron Tibbs 6'4" | 190 lbs | WR Cathedral | 2023 State IN – Cathedral – WR – 6’4″ 190lbs
Tibbs is a phenomenal recruit who has as bright of a future as anyone you’ll come across. He’s officially committed to Purdue and will have a chance to follow in the steps of guys like Rondale Moore and David Bell. Purdue has churned out a handful of NFL WRs in the past few years and Tibbs will look to grow that list in a few years. His journey starts in West Lafayette.
Brennan Wooten Brennan Wooten 6'4" | 240 lbs | TE Cathedral | 2023 State IN – Cathedral – TE – 6’4″ 225lbs
Wooten is a phenomenal TE with all the size, speed, and strength you’re looking for at TE, which is likely why he was so highly recruited. Wooten will be taking his talents up to Western Michigan University looking to develop and take the next step. He’ll be playing D1 ball against with a chance to see the field and make an impact down the road.
Edward Hartig Edward Hartig 6'6" | 290 lbs | OL Reitz Memorial | 2023 State IN – Reitz Memorial – OL – 6’5″ 290lbs
Hartig was one of Indiana’s most desired tackles up front and had a plethora of choice to choose from, and for good reason. I can guarantee you that since Miami (OH) got his commitment, the coaches their have slept a little bit better knowing the outside of the line is protected and set for the foreseeable future.
Cameron Davenport Cameron Davenport 6'5" | 335 lbs | DL Ben Davis | 2023 State IN – Ben Davis – OL – 6’5″ 330lbs
Davenport is one of my favorite prospects in the class. His size, raw athleticism, and ability to bend with the frame he has doesn’t make sense. It’s incredible to watch which is why he was able to step back and make sure he made the best decision for him. Dartmouth College landed Davenport and I imagine they are just as excited as he is, and they should be.
De’Eric Mister De’Eric Mister 6'7" | 280 lbs | OL West Side | 2023 State IN – Gary West Side – T – 6’7″ 300lbs
Mister is a massive man who is a great athlete. You look at him and can tell he was born to be on a football field. He’s got that flip and can switch it on when he hits the field. Mister has committed to Minnesota and will look to join the ranks of elite Offensive Linemen to come from there.
Joshua Mickens Joshua Mickens 6'5" | 230 lbs | DL Lawrence Central | 2023 State IN – Lawrence Central – DE – 6’3″ 225lbs
Mickens, in my opinion, was the #1 recruit in the entire state. Maybe I am a bit biased because I want to build my teams by the method of “Protect Yours and Attack Theirs.” Obviously, I’m referring to the QB and Mickens does a great job at getting after them, which is why he had every option available to him. In the end, Ohio State landed Mickens and he’ll be heading to Columbus with goals of playing on Sundays.
Tylen Cunningham Tylen Cunningham 5'11" | 215 lbs | LB Lawrence Central | 2023 State IN – Lawrence Central – MLB – 5’11” 205lbs
Cunningham is one of my favorite LBs in the class just because how aggressive he is and how well he sees the entire field. He’s always all over the field and will have a chance right away to see plenty of playing time for Marian University. Marian had a great signing class and the 2 guys in this article for them are going to be superstars for them.
Sterling Smith Sterling Smith 6'0" | 195 lbs | DB Cathedral | 2023 State IN – Cathedral – CB – 5’11” 180lbs
Smith has had a fun recruiting process to watch. A genuine young man with great parents who did a great job. I think the world of Sterling as a person. Big smile, super competitive, and can light up a room with jokes. With tons of offers on the board, he was eventually able to commit to Holy Cross and will be playing D1 ball while getting an elite education.
Trent Baker-Booker Trent Baker-Booker 6'2" | 195 lbs | DB Lawrence Central | 2023 State IN – Lawrence Central – S – 6’3″ 175
Baker-Booker is the 3rd stud from Lawrence Central on this piece alone who will be heading to an elite program to make a difference. The star safety has committed to Virginia University and will be a Cavalier. Baker-Booker enters a rising program with a chance to play on the big stages, and I couldn’t be happier for him.
