Bethany College Prospect Camp: The RBs & LBs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was a small but talented group of prospects on hand for the Bethany College Prospect Camp on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

He continues to test well as he makes strides in his athleticism and posted strong numbers again with a 5.01 40, 4.5 pro shuttle, and a 3-yard broad jump. Parson has been moving much more fluidly since his freshman year and should be able to get those numbers even lower by the time he's a senior. You could see the progress he's made during the individual position drills portions of the camp and he had some winning reps during 1-on-1s in pass coverage as well. The Bethany coaches took notice as well of his strong camp performance and he's now firmly on their radar if he wasn't beforehand.rnrnParson will be fun to watch this fall to see how he transitions to his new school at North Marion from a very good two years at a very smalls school in Hundred. He's putting himself in a position to earn a starting spot in 2024 and will have the opportunity to put his talents on display on a bigger stage for the Huskies.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Gavin Lynch","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"200","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Woodridge (OH)","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Woodbridge (OH) brought a pair of talented rising seniors down to Bethany College for their prospect camp including 2025 RB/LB Gavin Lynch. Lynch is a physically built athlete at 5'9 200 who posted strong testing scores of a 5.09 40 and a 3-yard broad jump. He's a versatile athlete who played all over the field for Woodridge last season as a QB/RB/WR/LB/DB with quality film at all five positions. Lynch likely projects best as a LB at the next level who has a great athletic background to settle in and thrive at that spot in college. From watching his junior film, Lynch is a gritty and tough player who goes full-speed at all times and wants to help his team in any way that he can. That was apparent during the special teams' highlights in his tape, and he doesn't take a play off regardless of what position or role he's in.rnrnLynch is a quality small college under-the-radar prospect with natural playmaking ability and a knack for the ball who is a fun player to watch.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Braden Mottice","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"195","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Woodridge (OH)","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"The second Woodridge (OH) 2025 prospect that stood out at Bethany's camp was Braden Mottice. I starred his name early on as one of the first prospects to catch my attention and looked the part in person from a physical build standpoint. Mottice is a strong athlete who also has the athletic ability to pair with his strength which will make him a valuable college prospect. He had the best 40 time of the camp with a 4.8 along with strong times in the pro shuttle with a 4.7 along with a very good 3-yard broad jump. Mottice expectedly moved fluidly during drills with those strong testing numbers and had quick feet. From watching his film, he has a nose for the ball and looks like a natural fit at middle linebacker as someone who diagnoses plays well with the physicality and toughness to male the play. Mottice does a great job shooting gaps and fighting off blockers to make plays at and behind the line of scrimmage.rnrnI thought he popped during the camp and is another under-the-radar prospect out of Woodridge that deserves more eyes on him.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Terrance Dixon","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"160","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"East Palestine","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"I was unaware that East Palestine's Terrance Dixon was only a 2028 prospect until looking over the camp roster after the event and writing this article. It would have been easy to brush off his performance if he were a rising senior in high school, but knowing that he's still technically in middle school makes what he did today all the more impressive. Dixon already has quality size at 5'8 160 and had quality testing numbers for his age with a 5.04 40 and 2+ yard broad jump that he hasn't likely had many if any reps in before the camp. He certainly didn't look like a rising freshman out there and although there were a lot of teaching moments for him during the camp, he'll come out of it a better player from competing against some talented older, more experienced players.rnrnDixon has yet to play a snap at the high school level, but I feel strongly in saying that he'll develop into a quality college prospect by the time he's a senior.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Dominic Reda","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"165","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"East Canton (OH)","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Another small Ohio prospect to know in the 2025 class is East Canton RB/LB Dominic Reda. He's a bit undersized compared to the other linebackers in attendance at 5'8 165, but Reda tested admirably with a sub-5-second 40 and a 2+ yard broad jump. Reda had a nice showing during 1-on-1s winning multiple reps by my count and showing he can line up as a receiver and be a threat in the passing game when needed. At his size, that may be a good spot for him at the next level if he can continue to improve his athleticism and saw plenty of reps at running back during the camp and last season as a junior on the football field.rnrnReda had some make-you-miss ability on film and is quicker than he is fast and is a quality small school player in Ohio who is flying under the radar.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664958561ff00"} /-->
