Matt Muir Matt Muir 6’2″ | 255 lbs | OL Avon | 2024 State OH dominated the interior offensive line on his way to first team All-Ohio. Clearing the way for one of the top backs in the state, Muir was a pancake machine in a heavily trafficked area up the middle of the field. He demonstrates good form moving quickly while keeping his body low to deliver big hits when pulling or moving up to the second level. Has good quickness for his size to handle quicker linebackers. Plays with intensity each snap with a visible determination to always beat his blocking assignment. Quick hips to drive through contact, but uses a lot of power in his arms to extend and drive defenders back. Good movement when pulling from his guard position, keeps his form with second nature to hit with leverage to clear out a running lane. Plays hard to the whistle. Muir has had a relatively quiet recruiting process with an offer to Wheeling University, but is a player college coaches need to get a look. Has good size at 6-foot-2 and 260-pounds to play along the interior offensive line at the next level. Muir shows good intangibles in his style of play to be a successful player at the next level.

Carson Noonan Carson Noonan 6’3″ | 255 lbs | DL Medina Highland | 2025 State OH was just one of two juniors to be named first team All-Ohio in Division II for his ability to overpower defenders from the left tackle spot. Noonan has the build of a DI college player at 6-foot-3 with a long wingspan to get control of his assignment. Plays with anger on both sides of the ball as a disruptive defensive end with good tendencies to take his man to the ground. His wingspan is a huge upside to his game and backs up his length with power in his arms to get full extension. He shows proper form once he has his arms fully extended with his weight under him to maintain good body control. Does an excellent job of swinging his hips out on edge blocks to seal the edge while under control which allows for big play potential. Performs good chip blocks and can block at the second level with authority. Impressive junior year film that shows off his command of the left tackle position. Noonan just picked up his first DI offer from Toledo, but given his high ceiling on the field, his body type and another year of high school, I wouldn’t be surprised to see his recruitment really heat up this offseason.

Isaiah Walter
Isaiah Walter
Isaiah Walter is a big body firing out from the center position with good quickness and strength to drive nose tackles off the ball. Walter packs a punch with good quickness coming out of his stance to bring the contact on run plays. A player with good power in his arms, he shows good ability to handle quick moves or power moves with a good reaction time. Can bulldoze defensive linemen when he shifts his weight forward and gets his feet moving. Has quality footwork to play light on his feet. Shows good form in pass protection, will shift to deliver hits when he is left with no defender over him. Good form sealing blocks up the middle with lower body movement to help open bigger holes for his backs to run through. A valuable lineman to have at the goal line as a lineman who works well with multiple defenders over him. Walter has earned a number of quality offers this season including Westminster, Mount Union and Baldwin Wallace. There is a lot to like about his game with one his best qualities being a lineman that doesn’t get taken off the ball.

JD Radway JD Radway 6’4″ | 315 lbs | OL North Ridgeville | 2025 OH has the size and technique to be one of the top tackles in Northeast Ohio with his wrecking ball style of play at the left tackle position. At 6-foot-4 and 320-pounds, Radway is more than most defenders can handle. He plays light on his feet for his size and moves like a player playing at a lower weight. Able to pull from the left tackle position with good speed and is one of the last players in the state defenders want to see coming at them at full speed. Can man-handle smaller linebackers coming up to challenge him. Has good enough speed in his footwork to keep blitzers in front of him to give his quarterback more than enough time to get the ball out. Gets good arm extension in his to either deliver a pancake or lock in for the block to drive a defender off a play. Scrapes to the second level in run play situations to show his clear out ability on the run. In rare situations he is matched with his intensity from initial contact, he shifts his power forward to send defenders to the ground. Radway plays the brand of football made for the college level and is a player I’m excited to see further develop his game with another offseason before his senior year. He has had interest so far from Youngstown State and will see more schools interested in his services soon with All-Ohio second team honors to his name.
