Who will breakout in Ohio in 2023? Volume 14

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kings HS (Cincinnati)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1134410' first='Kage' last='Payne']</strong>, OL, 2025 - Kage is an outstanding player who a lot of upside and some good offers on the table. He stands at 6'4 and weighs in at 280. He has the athletic ability to get up and under the defenders and drive them far off the ball. He covers up defenders quickly laterally with proper aiming point. He latches on with good technique at the second level and drives defenders into the dirt. He is a great pass blocker with proper posture, punch, and footwork. He gets out on screens quickly and sticks like glue to his defender. He pulls quickly and cleans up the area he is charged with. Impressive OL with more offers to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15369051/Kage-Payne">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15369051/Kage-Payne</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Centerville HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Landon King</strong>, LB, 2024 - Landon is a great LB and even better student. He has offers from some of the top academic schools. He reads blocks and plays well and uses proper footwork to get to his gaps. He takes on blockers with strong lockout and escapes easily. He gets over the top with speed and proper leverage. I am impressed with his ability to cover the slot receivers. He had many PBU's last season. He blitzes well and creates havoc on pass plays in the backfield. I am impressed with him and look forward to seeing his senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11536652/6377ff0d8cd49a09a0be63c6">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11536652/6377ff0d8cd49a09a0be63c6</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Matt Wheatley</strong>, OL, 2024 - Matt is a very good OL and plays with much aggression. He really gets after it with his drive blocks. He has good technique and maintains a flat back. He keeps his feet moving and hands inside. He is very good at the double team block and patiently gets to the LB's under control. He is quick and covers up defenders with on outside run plays. His pass blocking is stout with a good punch, posture, and footwork. Keep an eye on him in 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13400059/Matthew-Wheatley">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13400059/Matthew-Wheatley</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Edgewood (Cincinnati)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='733683' first='Luke' last='Halsey']</strong>, OL/DL, 2024 - Luke is a beast of a player. He is 6'3 and weighs 265 and has good athleticism. Edgewood uses a run based offense so Luke's skills lie on the run blocking side. He is quick off the snap with a flat back, wide base, and violent punch. He is aggressive and pancakes defenders routinely. He has good drive in his drive blocks and covers defenders up on the outside while running his feet. He gets up to the backers and sticks like glue. He mashes as the drive lineman in double team situations. He is athletic enough to be a great pass blocker once he gets into an offense where he can learn and master the technique. Worth a good look on film.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14883516/Luke-Halsey">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14883516/Luke-Halsey</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Princeton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Travis Lawrence</strong>, MLB, 2024 - Travis is fun to watch. He has the perfect mix of athleticism and aggression you want in a LB. He is fast, twitchy and physical. He is a big presence in the middle. He reads blocks well and hammers OL trying to block him. He rips off in the his gap and makes good tackles on the LOS. He runs with his hair on fire on outside run with proper leverage. He is a tenacious blitzer who gets to the QB. He drops well into coverage and cancels the underneath routes. He deserves a scholarship offer this off season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15805740/Travis-Lawrence">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15805740/Travis-Lawrence</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
