<p class='text-gray-700'>Santa loves amusement parks, so a 6-foot-4, 210-pound gunslinger just down the street from Kings Island will certainly draw his interest. Nurre had a breakout sophomore season, passing for 23 touchdowns and 2,396 yards. He has great deep-ball accuracy, throwing with great anticipation and timing, and he has enough mobility to make plays with his legs.</p>

<p class='text-gray-700'>Lyman is a 6-foot-3, 180 receiver who received a UMass offer after his team's college day last spring. Santa could gift Lyman even more, especially given his height and solid short-area route running skills.</p>

<p class='text-gray-700'>The 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive tackle for Stebbins is a stout run defender and above-average pass rusher. His size and frame allow him to hold the point of attack. He holds no offers, yet he can quickly shed blocks, takes good angles to ballcarriers and wraps up. Santa knows he would make any defensive coordinator happy.</p>

<p class='text-gray-700'>Dawson has great ball skills and has the ability to snatch the ball away and take it to the house. He is also physical in coverage and uses his arm length well to be physical with receivers. He holds just one offer from West Virginia, but perhaps Santa has more in his bag for the 6-foot-2 defensive back.</p>

<p class='text-gray-700'>Johnson is a big and bulky running back who is surprisingly quick for his size. He is a good receiver out of the backfield, displaying soft hands and quickly pushing the field vertically. He is also a baseball player, and rushed for 590 yards and 14 touchdowns last season.</p>
