He is big at 6'1/280 with athleticism and twitch. He fires off the ball quickly and gets to lockout. He sheds easily and stops runners in the gap. He works well sideline to sideline. He splits doubles quickly and works over the top of down blocks. He has a great bull rush and hump move from the interior and collapses pockets all over NE Ohio. Going to be an exciting Senior season for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17061598/Bryce-Young">https://www.hudl.com/profile/17061598/Bryce-Young</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lake Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402351' first='Nathan' last='Zappitelli']</strong>, OL, 2026 - Nathan is going to be a superstar. He was a varsity starter this past season and played at a high level. He is 6'4/220 with athleticism and good strength. His overall technique is very advanced. He reaches 3 techs and cuts off backside 1's with ease. He drives blocks DL into the dirt. His zone doubles are excellent with good patience to the LB. He pulls with speed and dominates at the second level. He is stout against the bull rush and inside moves. He uses his long arms and good footwork to keep the pocket clean. Nathan is a sure fire scholarship player in 3 years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16686782/Nathan-Zappitelli">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16686782/Nathan-Zappitelli</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ursuline (Youngstown)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ty'Req Donlow</strong>, OLB, 2024 - Ty is a great athlete and excellent competitor. Has many MAC offers currently and will rise in the rankings. He is big, physical, and very athletic. He plays the edge role in space and on the LOS. He sets a hard edge, can run things down behind the LOS, and works over the top with good pursuit angles. He escapes blocks quickly and makes spectacular tackles. He hammers ball carriers into submission. He is an excellent pass rusher with a good dip/rip and speed rush. He bends well and finishes. Ty will be a big time college football player in 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14907146/TyReq-Donlow">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14907146/TyReq-Donlow</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='414698' first='Christian' last='Lynch']</strong>, RB, 2024 - Christian is outstanding on and off the field. He carries a 4.0 GPA in addition to lighting up the scoreboard this season. He is smaller but runs behind his pads. His speed and athleticism are off the charts. He is a patient runner with good burst once the blocks declare. He has top end speed and pulls away from defenders. Impressive route runner in the pass and screen game. Has twitch and open field wiggle. Looking forward to seeing his progression this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14466299/Christian-Lynch">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14466299/Christian-Lynch</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
