Putting the all in all-purpose, Sean Patrick Sean Patrick 5’11” | 175 lbs | RB Kenston | 2024 State OH is every offensive coordinator’s dream with his ability to fill almost any skill position within an offense and do it at an elite level. Coming off a junior season where he split time at running back and wide receiver, Patrick accounted for more than 2,200 yards of total offense and made a name for himself along the way. A strong runner with good balance and the ability to cut hard or run over defenders, Patrick checks all the boxes for a Div. I running back. He shows patience behind his line to burst through holes and has the top end speed to leave defenders behind him. As a receiver, Patrick has a great pair of hands and awareness in his routes to make high-difficulty catches. With a motor that doesn’t quit, Patrick also puts in time on defense as a shutdown corner and in special teams as a game-changing return man. So far this offseason, Patrick has received offers across the country and built up his recruitment stock to one that can’t go unnoticed by even the biggest of schools.

His elite size is the first thing you notice about Daniel Ajose Daniel Ajose 6’5″ | 200 lbs | WR Saint Vincent Saint Marys | 2024 State OH , but his evolving game is what has college coaches talking. Playing in a talented receiver room, Ajose proved to be most dangerous in the red zone where his height and wingspan make him an even bigger target when the field gets smaller. Ajose shows great instinct to climb the ladder and get the ball at its highest point above defenders. Showing his speed, Ajose gets off the line quickly with a big stride and uses his body to create seperation from smaller defensive backs. Attending some of the biggest camps in the area, Ajose has put in the work and has the attention of several MAC schools with plenty of time to earn more offers.

He is lightning in a bottle on the field and one of the most dangerous weapons in the state of Ohio, but Terrance Williams Terrance Williams 5’9″ | 150 lbs | WR Brush | 2024 State OH is just getting started. A danger to score whenever the ball comes his way, Williams is a speedy receiver that opens up downfield throws and has the ability to catch well in stride. His top end speed is only matched by his quick feet to burst past flat-footed defenders to make big plays. Williams has a strong plant foot to cut hard and quickly change directions before engaging his speed. Making an impact on special teams as well, Williams is a menace in the return game with his instinct to find gaps and the speed to leave 11 defenders in the dust. Williams has the potential to be one of the biggest playmakers in Northeast Ohio with a heavy dose of balls thrown his way.

Tyler Tusai Tyler Tusai 6’5″ | 220 lbs | QB St. Thomas Moore | 2025 State NewE is a pro-style quarterback with a big arm and the touch to complete passes all over the field. Tusai plays comfortably from the pocket and executes his passes with the timing and touch to give his receivers space to move after the catch. Tusai demonstrates above average footwork in his three and five step drops to drive the ball where only his receiver can catch it. He has near effortless rotation on his throws to send balls with air under them deep down the field. While he plays best from the pocket, Tusai can throw accurately on the run and can surprise a team with his athleticism to tuck the ball and rely on his feet. Tusai has sound throwing mechanics to fit the ball into tight windows and made it look easy at times as a junior. With a Div. I offer already in his pocket, Tusai has grabbed the attention of Purdue and several MAC schools while he attends several camps this offseason.

Andrew Bruce Andrew Bruce 5’11” | 185 lbs | ATH Chardon | 2024 State OH can be plugged into any number of positions in an offense and become the best player on the field with the ball in his hands. A gifted athlete with the speed and size of a Div. I player already, Bruce is an elusive runner out of the backfield. He reads his blockers even at the second level and can explode through gaps in the defense most runners won’t even see. In the blink of an eye Bruce can get to the edge on a defense and turn up field for big gains. Bruce can shed would-be tacklers with great upper body strength and accelerate back up to speed. In the passing game, Bruce has good hands to haul in passes and is just as dangerous in open space behind defenders to finish off plays. Bruce is a two-way player and is just as dominante playing cornerback challenging larger opponents and other recruits without backing down. Bruce has the attention of several ACC and Big Ten schools and will use 2023 and his year to make a statement.
