Ravens and Grizzlies Stock Up On Kansas Talent

I barely left my computer yesterday trying to keep up with all of the National Signing Day posts.   Two programs that had impressive days were Jayhawk Conference members Butler and Coffeyville.   Here is a look at ranked players from Kansas who have signed with one of those two schools.   I will have scouting reports featuring other ranked athletes who have signed with other JUCOs and unranked players who have signed with these two programs.   Congratulations to these 20 athletes who get to continue their football careers. If I missed anyone I apologize in advance. I have also had a college program reach out looking for a tight end and middle linebacker for their 2024 class.   If an athlete signs after signing day please tag me in the post or if you are an unsigned TE or MLB send me a DM at @KSScoutDeck.   [player_tooltip player_id='1103598' first='Ryeki' last='Tuley'], QB, 5'11”, 185, Shawnee Heights (Coffeyville)   I saw Tuley play twice last season and he has an accurate arm. The 13th-ranked quarterback and ranked No. 29 overall is headed to Southeast Kansas to continue his playing career. I do not doubt that he will compete for a starting spot. He threw for 2,108 yards and 21 touchdowns.   [player_tooltip player_id='145601' first='Ashton' last='White'], WR, 5'9” 165, Wichita East (Coffeyville)   I have only seen White on film, but he has quality speed and makes tacklers miss. He is ranked No. 97 overall and will give Tuley and the other Raven quarterbacks a dangerous target.   [player_tooltip player_id='262719' first='Kainen' last='White'], DL, 6'1”, 265, Field Kindley (Butler)   The Grizzlies are stealing White out of the Ravens' neighborhood. The Field Kindley run-stuffer is headed to El Dorado rather than staying close to home. White is ranked No. 108 overall.   [player_tooltip player_id='81149' first='Damon' last='Mesa'], ATH, 6'0”, 205, Holcomb (Butler)   Mesa is a versatile athlete who will add depth to Butler's roster and could have a major impact on special teams for the Grizzlies. The Holcomb Longhorn is ranked No. 110 overall.   Randy Singleton Jr, DB, 5'11”, 170, Gardner-Edgerton (Butler)   The Butler defense is adding a shut-down corner in Singelton. He could also play safety as well though as he finishes tackles. The Trailblazing defensive back is ranked No. 119 by Prep Redzone.   [player_tooltip player_id='676187' first='Jalen' last='Wilson'], DL, 6'1”, 240, Bishop Miege (Butler)   This is one of my favorite Butler additions. Wilson is a beast on the defensive line and could be one of the next former Butler defensive linemen to find their way to the NFL. He is ranked No. 125 overall among his Kansas peers.   [player_tooltip player_id='262220' first='Mark' last='Debiak'], DL, 6'2”, 245, Gardner-Edgerton (Butler)   Debiak will add some depth to the defensive line. He is more of an interior player and not quite as explosive as Wilson. However, the No. 111 ranked Kansas athlete is bigger than his new teammate.   [player_tooltip player_id='259840' first='Jaeden' last='Martin'], WR, 5'11”, 160, Maize (Coffeyville)   One that is certain about the Ravens' 2024 recruiting class is that is going to be a very fast one. This staff is adding a ton of offensive weapons and Martin is among that solid group. The No. 148th-ranked player hopes to soar for the Ravens like he did for the Eagles.   [player_tooltip player_id='545649' first='Cannon' last='McCormack'], LB, 6'0”, 215, Circle (Butler)   McCormack is a tough-nosed linebacker who loves to hit. He will be staying close to home and playing just a little over seven miles to make the move from Towanda to El Dorado. McCormack is ranked No. 157 in the Kansas Class of 2024.   [player_tooltip player_id='415327' first='Andrew' last='Tien'], OL, 6'4”, 280, Circle (Butler)   I saw Tien work out last summer at Butler's Trench Warfare camp. He can move and is strong. The No. 175 ranked player in Kansas parlayed that camp into an offer and commitment to play for the Grizzlies.   [player_tooltip player_id='826367' first='Isaac' last='Martin'], QB, 6'3”, 205, Hugoton (Butler)   The Grizzlies might be bringing in their quarterback of the future from Hugoton. Martin is a QB who can beat you with his arms and legs. He is ranked No. 178 overall by Prep Redzone Kansas.   [player_tooltip player_id='543076' first='Cooper' last='Jay'], OL, 6'2”, 315, Augusta (Butler)   Jay is a big offensive line who just might end up being one of Martin's future protectors down the road. The Augusta big man is ranked No. 179 overall and is excellent in pass protection.   [player_tooltip player_id='543067' first='Kendall' last='Holtzman'], QB, 6'2”, 195, Labette County (Coffeyville)   Holtzman won't have to travel too far to play his college ball. The Labette County signal-caller is headed to nearby Coffeyville. He is currently ranked No. 194 in the class of 2024. The competition for playing time between the three quarterbacks should be fun to watch. Of the three Holtzman is best suited for a possible position change based on his size and quickness. He threw for 1,254 yards and 10 touchdowns during his senior season.   [player_tooltip player_id='1107710' first='Lathon' last='McCoy'], OL, 6'1”, 250, Wichita East (Coffeyville)   McCoy plays with a solid combination of athleticism and nastiness. He should compete for a starting job on the offensive line for the Ravens. He is ranked No. 202 overall.   [player_tooltip player_id='1103610' first='Jake' last='Jasnoski'], TE, 6'3”, 205, Goddard (Butler)   If you don't already have a vision of the potential two-deep for Butler's offense then you just are not reading close enough. Goddard is providing a tight end for the two-deep in Jasnoski. He is a big target in the passing game and can seal the edge as a run-blocker. The Goddard Lion is ranked No. 204 overall.   [player_tooltip player_id='676230' first='Casten' last='Wirth'], LB, 6'3”, 185, Lyndon (Butler)   The Grizzly coaching staff is raiding the eight-man ranks for a tackling machine out of Lyndon.  Werth played a huge role in the State Champions defensive unit. He is ranked No. 232 overall and joins an impressive group of signees out of Lyndon including two Division I commitments.   [player_tooltip player_id='675976' first='Chase' last='DuPont'], K, 6'3”, 165, Kapaun Mt. Carmel (Butler)   Dupont is a kicker with a big leg. Ranked as the No. 3 kicker in the Kansas Class of 2024 he hopes a career in the Jayhawk Conference leads him to a four-year college.   [player_tooltip player_id='1107806' first='Ashton' last='Sell'], DB, 6'3”, 180, Goddard (Butler)   Buter is poaching two Lions off the Goddard roster. Sell is a tall defensive back with solid ups. He is ranked No. 295 among his Kansas peers.   Xavier Stickland, ATH, 6'0”, 160, Leavenworth (Coffeyville)   I love this addition by Coffeyville. Strickland is a fast and versatile athlete who suffered an early season-ending injury last season. He dipped down in the rankings and his recruitment stock fell due to the injury, but this kid can play football.   [player_tooltip player_id='1112055' first='Gavin' last='Kiser'], QB, 6'4”, 200, Augusta (Coffeyville)   Kiser is a solid pocket-passer with plus size. He could compete for a starting spot at quarterback or possibly make a position change. Kiser is ranked No. 312 overall.
