Northwest Ohio Watchlist – April Vol.3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jordan Singer - Bowsher - 2025 QB </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The film is limited on this prospect, but that does not mean he can't play football. Singer caught my eye when he threw the football with other local athletes at the park last month. Jordan has room to grow, but his raw/natural talent for throwing the football is there; he has zip and accuracy too. This is a prospect that I don't want to dive too deep into until I see more film from the 2022 season, but for the fall of 2023, I think he will turn some heads around the city league this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gabriel Lightener - Bowsher - 2025 OL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gabe has a chance to be an outstanding offensive lineman with his athleticism and size. Lightener was a full-time starter in 2022 and gained valuable experience in his first year on varsity. With the game being able to slow down for him in 2022, you will get a chance to see the improved strength and technique that he has been working on. I'm a fan of this prospect. If he can stay focused on his process, I can see him being on D1 radars if he can put it all together this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cameron Smith - Bowsher - 2025 ATH </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is a very athletic prospect that can make plays on both sides of the football. When he lines up at WR, he is a few coaching points away from becoming an effective possession receiver. Defensively, it gets interesting because he can play anywhere in the secondary. Cameron stands at 6'2 and has a chance to impact the varsity field this fall, said Coach Alvin Brown. His upside is tremendous, and with his length, he can become a problem in zone coverages as he can close on the open windows. This should be a breakout season for Cameron. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='502568' first='Cohen' last='Hulbert'] - Edon - 2025 ATH </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you are a fan of old-school football, then you will love this kid here. Cohen is a junkyard dog on the defensive side of the ball, as he can sniff a play out and use his toughness to finish the ball carrier. Hulbert knows how to use his hands well when encountering linemen, but his speed is what flashes on the tape. Offensively he can do it all for the Bombers. His rugged style of play gives the OC legroom when choosing how to use Cohen. He catches the ball confidently at wideout and always looks to get positive yards. At RB, he does have some finesse, but he chooses to mow down defenders, which makes me believe his upside will be on the defensive side of the ball. This should be a full-on coming-out season for this prospect if he can have the same success, if not more, in 2023. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
