2026 WR [player_tooltip player_id='1141989' first='Matty' last='Giannantonio'] (Dublin Jerome) 6'0 170- Giannantonio (pictured above) definitely had one of the best days of the receivers. He showed good speed and explosiveness in his testing. He's a solid route runner who uses tempo to get defensive backs off balance. When the ball is in the air Matty does a good job of adjusting to the ball and going and getting it.   2025 LB [player_tooltip player_id='1135799' first='Isaac' last='Waller'] (Alexander) 5'10 200- Waller had a solid day testing. He showed loose hips and some explosive traits in the position drills. I liked what I saw in the 1v1 drills. He trusted his athleticism and didn't bite on juke moves on the running backs release. He did a good job of breaking on the routes. When the ball arrived, Waller did a good job of playing the ball rather than the man.   2025 WR [player_tooltip player_id='1137986' first='Christian' last='Moulton'] (Hilliard Bradley)- Moulton tested well, and I thought performed even better in the routes on air and 1v1 portions of the showcase. He showed the ability to use good footwork and explosiveness to get a good release. When he gets into his route, he's a smooth technician and he's an easy hands catcher of the ball. He's receiver that I think could play inside or out.   2026 RB [player_tooltip player_id='900785' first='Henry' last='Ohlinger'] (Grandview Heights) 6'2 215- As evidenced by his height and weight measurements, Henry is a big back. He ran well (4.6's) and broad jumped 9'1. He's explosive for a running back of his size. Henry showed quick feet in the bag drills and did a good job with his route running. With continued work on his long speed, I think Ohlinger definitely has the ability to play at the next level.   2026 QB [player_tooltip player_id='1141987' first='Luke' last='Backes'] (Upper Arlington) 5'10 180- Backes tested well in the broad jump, L cone, and put up a respectable 40 time. In the quarterback escapability drills he showed good mobility and ability to avoid a rush while keeping his eyes up. Luke has a fluid and easy throwing motion and did a good job of getting the ball out and on target.

2026 WR Matty Giannantonio Matty Giannantonio 6'2" | 175 lbs | WR Dublin Jerome | 2026 State OH (Dublin Jerome) 6'0 170- Giannantonio (pictured above) definitely had one of the best days of the receivers. He showed good speed and explosiveness in his testing. He's a solid route runner who uses tempo to get defensive backs off balance. When the ball is in the air Matty does a good job of adjusting to the ball and going and getting it.
