<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lebanon </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kaden Bender</strong>, OL, 2024 - Kaden is a massive individual and very talented. He stands 6'3 and weighs in at 300. He is quick and athletic. He makes quick work of defenders in zone blocking moving well in either direction with proper technique. He covers up defenders quickly laterally with the proper aiming points. I am impressed with with pass blocking technique. He quickly gets into posture, has a powerful punch, and keeps a great base. He has been to some great camps this June and will get lots of interest in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17774792/Kaden-Bender">https://www.hudl.com/profile/17774792/Kaden-Bender</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tanner Smith</strong>, DL, 2024 - Tanner is an outstanding talent on the interior of the DL. He is fast, athletic, and physical. He has really good quickness off the snap and gets to lockout easily. He reads blocks well and takes them on with technique and his eyes in the backfield. He escapes fast and makes tough tackles in the gap. He runs sideline to sideline with high motor. His pass rush is ferocious with good pocket push in the bull rush. He can flip his hips quickly and bend back to the QB with quickness. He finishes rushes with proper leverage. Keep an eye on his progress this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/6023322/Tanner-Smith">https://www.hudl.com/profile/6023322/Tanner-Smith</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='277299' first='Evan' last='Black']</strong>, DL, 2024 - Evan is fun to watch because of his motor. He plays with his hair on fire every play. He explodes off the snap and maintains a flat back with powerful lockout. He reads plays well and escapes with proper technique and leverage. He is dynamic down the LOS and gets up the field and over the top super fast. He rushes the passer with tenacity and bends well back to the QB. His bull rush and rip move are relentless. Exciting player to watch in Southwest Ohio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/6023322/Tanner-Smith">https://www.hudl.com/profile/6023322/Tanner-Smith</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1182158' first='Luke' last='Faler']</strong>, QB, 2026 - Luke is a hidden gem in the class of 2026. He played both JV and Varsity this season. He is tall and can see over the LOS. He has great zip on the ball and accuracy including the back shoulder throw. He can make all the throws down the field from both hashes. He has touch on the short throws. He reads the full field well. His mechanics are sound and will continue to get better. He throws well on the run and off of both feet. He is an athletic player who makes defenders miss in the open field. Take a look at him this upcoming year as he transitions into full time Varsity starter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15252654/Luke-Faler">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15252654/Luke-Faler</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Villa Angela St. Joseph</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='410407' first='Bo' last='Jackson']</strong>, RB, 2025 - Bo is an outstanding talent in the 2025 class. He is athletic with twitch. He has great vision in the run game with lower body wiggle to find the gap and accelerate. He runs hard and is a bigger back. He gets vertical quickly and blows past the second and third level defenders. He blocks well on pass plays and has soft hands out of the backfield. Going to be a special player in NE Ohio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16044951/Bo-Jackson">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16044951/Bo-Jackson</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
