Ohio 2026's Who Are Ready To Breakout

ATH [player_tooltip player_id='904656' first='Tristen' last='Bozeman'] (Dunbar) 6'0 170- Bozeman is a two-way player for the Wolverines. On offense he plays wide receiver, while on defense he plays cornerback. On offense he's a fluid athlete who uses good speed and crisp breaks to gain separation from defenders. When the ball is in the air, he's a playmaker. He tracks and high points the ball well using excellent body control to position himself and has the hands to finish on 50/50 balls. He's a fluid catcher of the ball away from his frame. Defensively, Bozeman has good feet, loose hips, and gets good depth on his backpedal. As he gets varsity reps, we'll start to get a better idea of which side of the ball his future lies on. I can't wait to see what Tristen puts on film this fall! <a href="https://twitter.com/thatboiitree12">Twitter</a>   WR [player_tooltip player_id='902427' first='Jayden' last='Seay'] (Kings) 6'2 165- Watching Seay play the receiver position the first thing that sticks out is his length. At 6'2 with long arms he possesses a large catch radius. When you combine that plus, plus length with his athleticism, you have a young man who I believe has a chance to be a pretty special receiver. When it comes to route running Seay is advanced for his age. He possesses quick feet that he uses to get clean releases. As he gets into his routes, he reads his defender and sets him up and uses explosive breaks to get bigtime separation. When the ball is in the air, Jayden, has easy ups and the hands to pluck the ball out of the air over and away from the defender. Kings runs a high-powered passing offense, so there should be plenty of opportunity for Seay to have a breakout Sophomore season. <a href="https://twitter.com/jayden_seay">Twitter</a>   DB [player_tooltip player_id='904657' first='Joseph' last='Brewu'] (Thomas Worthington) 6'0 150- Brewu is a smooth cornerback who's comfortable in man-to-man coverage. He uses a quick feet and loose hips to mirror receivers. He has a good break and plays the ball rather than the man. Athleticism runs in the family as Joseph's older brother Francis, is a highly sought after defensive lineman who's committed to the University of Pittsburgh. Brewu is a worker and I expect him to have a strong sophomore season for the Cardinals! <a href="https://twitter.com/JosephBrewu">Twitter</a>   DB [player_tooltip player_id='904658' first='Charlie' last='Rodgers'] (Bay Village) 5'10 180- Watching his film, it was easy to see that Rodgers had an impressive freshman season for the Rockets. He's a versatile athlete that was used on both sides of the ball. On offense he lined up at running back and played linebacker on defense. As of right now I'd project him to the safety position at the college level. As a running back Rodgers is a shifty runner who runs with good contact balance and vision. On the defensive side of the ball, Rodgers plays bigger than his frame. In the run game he's gap sound and a sure tackler. Rodgers shows good acceleration and loves to run and strike. In zone coverage, Charlie is patient in his reads and breaks well to jump a route almost baiting the QB into the throw. As Charlie continues to fill out and get stronger, he's going to be a force. With a season of varsity experience under his belt, I can't wait to see what Rodgers can do in high season number 2! <a href="https://twitter.com/_CharlieRodgers">Twitter</a> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17411375/637c3bdeab92460b50dfc165">Hudl</a>   OL [player_tooltip player_id='904659' first='Lucas' last='Tielsch'] (Copley) 6'6 280- As an incoming sophomore checking in at 6'6 280, Tielsch definitely passes the look test. He has a long and athletic frame with plenty of room to fill out to 300 pounds plus of good weight. Lucas plays with good bend and balance. He also has quick feet for a young man of his age and size. In the run game he gets downhill quickly and should have the athleticism to get out on the perimeter in the run game. In pass protection Tielsch is a work in progress. He does a good job of mirroring his defender. Where Lucas has the most room to grow is in simply getting stronger. Additional lower body strength will help his anchor in pass sets and building his chest strength will help his punch. These are things that can and should come with continued work and physical development. If Lucas continues to put in the work, his future is bright! <a href="https://twitter.com/LucasTielsch">Twitter</a> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15144500/636b18538cded502803f85e4">Hudl</a>
