2027 QB [player_tooltip player_id='949445' first='RJ' last='Day'] (Columbus Desales) 6'1 195- I thought RJ (pictured above) really spun it well on the afternoon. He had a tight throwing motion and the ball really jumped off his hand. He throws with anticipation hitting receivers right after their breaks. I'm really interested to see how Day continues to develop physically and how that translates to his skillset as a quarterback. Stay tuned!   2025 RB [player_tooltip player_id='1068807' first='Gerald' last='Banks'] (Pickerington Central) 5'7 185- Banks showed off powerful legs and explosive cutting ability. In coverage he was able to get separation and had the hands to finish. You can tell from his body make up and explosiveness that he's a physical. His smaller size actually works to his benefit with his vision and ability to hide behind offensive lineman and explode into the next level.   2026 WR [player_tooltip player_id='831257' first='Brayden' last='Scholl'] (Coffman) 5'10 170- Scholl is your prototypical slot receiver. He gets to his points and explodes out of his breaks. He is a hands catcher who can catch the ball away from his body. He operates with a quiet confidence that he's going to make the play every time. As he gets bigger and stronger, he will add a physical element to his game.   2025 RB [player_tooltip player_id='414858' first='Ashton' last='Allen'] (New Albany) 5'9 170- Allen first caught my eye running the 40 and then in the cone drill. He has good straight line speed, also showed the ability to drop his hips and be explosive. I like him in a zone run offense as a one cut and get upfield. His ability to explode and be physical will be a perfect fit for this offensive scheme.   2026 LB [player_tooltip player_id='1141994' first='Reid' last='Baker'] (Anderson) 6'0 185- Baker is a good looking Sophomore linebacker. He showed off the plus athleticism you see on film. He can get downhill and he has the lateral quickness to mirror running backs on coverage. His versatility in playing the run and the pass makes him a valuable asset when coaches come calling. He needs to keep getting bigger and stronger.
