In advance of our Stock Up Showcase in Hilliard Ohio on January 7th, I'm going to be previewing some of the players who are signed up for the event. These evaluations will be brief, but I hope will give an idea of what kind of traits I'll be looking for when we get a chance to see them workout.   2026 RB [player_tooltip player_id='899781' first='Ryder' last='Hooks'] (Lakota East) 5'8 170- Hooks is an explosive running back that hits the hole hard. He has great leg drive and contact balance that help him run through arm tackles.   2025 QB [player_tooltip player_id='1090362' first='Braylan' last='Rathburn'] (Galia Academy) 6'3 165- Rathburn has a big arm and the ball jumps off his hand. He can make throws from different arm slots. He's mobile in the pocket and does a good job of avoiding the rush. He does a good job of keeping his eyes downfield when the play breaks down.   2026 QB [player_tooltip player_id='213915' first='Ryan' last='Taylor'] (Akron Saint Vincent Saint Mary) 5'9 170- Taylor is a young quarterback who has an impressive understanding of the Irish offense and what they're trying to do. He knows where he wants to go to with the ball and gets it out quickly and accurately.   2026 RB [player_tooltip player_id='824948' first='Grady' last='Kinsey'] (Indian Valley) 5'8 195- Kinsey runs with great vision and tempo. He knows how to set up and use his blocks. He has a great burst when it's time to go and is a hard runner to bring down.   2027 QB Maxim Miller (Springboro) 6'2 170- Miller has a big arm for a freshman. He can make the deep throws look easy. He's also willing to stand in and deliver the ball knowing he's going to take a hit.   2026 OL Sullivan "Sully" Garvin (Allegan HS, MI) 6'5 290- Garvin has great size and length for a sophomore. He has the athleticism and strength to finish at a high level in the run game. In pass pro he has a good kick that gets him depth, a good anchor, and the upper body strength to finish.
