<p class="text-gray-700">Kinsey was one of the most impressive running backs I saw all season long. He helped lead the way for not just Indian Valley's first state championship in school history but also the first state championship from Tuscarawas county. Kinsey doesn't go down off first contact and he can explode past you. In the state championship, the Indian Valley offense scored every possession and only passed one twice, and one of those passes was Kinsey completing a pass that went for a 50-yard completion. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Terry had one of the best performances in Ohio state championship game history. He had over 250 yards total, three touchdowns, and an interception that sealed the game and led to Ironton's first state title since the 1989 season. Terry was the best athlete I viewed all weekend and has been a big part of the booming potential that the Missouri Tigers have built recently.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Struck was one of the first prospects I saw on the season, and he did not disappoint. Struck was the biggest weapon on the field in an Olentangy Liberty beatdown vs Glenville. He has two touchdowns, splitting one each between rushing and receiving. He lined up in the slot and consistently saw targets. As a viewer, he was one of the only people on the season who I kept saying, "There he is." He took over the game and did the same in another performance against Moeller in Liberty's first state championship.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">McBride picked up an injury that kept him out of the first few weeks of the season, but I saw him on his return game. McBride didn't wait to get going, as he had two touchdowns before halftime and picked up several 3rd and 4th down conversions in the win. McBride exposed the Amanda-Clearcreek defense with his explosiveness and athleticism. He does well at high-pointing balls and going vertical.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Boff was surgical in the demolition of Columbus Academy. In a game that was widely considered to be an interesting matchup, Boff and Harvest Prep were up 35-7 at halftime. In the contest, Boff had an 86 percent completion percentage with two touchdowns and 262 total yards. Boff looks the part of a senior quarterback with tons of playing experience, but he is only a sophomore and will look to be one of the best quarterbacks in the class of 2027. </p>
