<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>2029 QB [player_tooltip player_id='1185155' first='Hunter' last='McLaughlin'] 6'1 165 Tippecanoe-</strong> McLaughlin is an uber talented prospect from Southwest Ohio. In the drills portion you could see the ball explode off his hand. Nearly every throw he made was a tight spiral. In 1v1's he stepped up and delivered big time throws. In terms of velocity and ball placement. He made more than one high level throw driving the ball into windows on intermediate passes. As a thrower Hunter is advanced well beyond his age. He's clearly ready to advance to the high school level and continue building on his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>2030 DL Zu'Brill Ruff 6'2 260 Belleville</strong>- Ruff possesses exceptional size for his age. His wingspan measured to that of someone 6'7. In the drills you see a player who's agile and bends well for a player of his size. Ruff not only held his own had success against older and more experienced linemen. Zu'Brill plays with good lower body drive and was able to drive his man into the backfield. He showed the ability to long arm and shed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>2030 WR [player_tooltip player_id='1650939' first='Braxton' last='Willis'] 5'11 135 St. Francis Desales (Columbus)-</strong> In the drills Willis showed of some good speed and explosion. He really has an ability to sink his hips and come back to the ball. His route running looks advanced for his age. He knows how to keep the defender off balance with tempo and then is able to turn on the after burners to pull away. I can't imagine there are too many cornerbacks Braxton's age who can lock him up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>2030 RB [player_tooltip player_id='1641857' first='Julius' last='Ali-Tims'] 5'5 145 Wayne-</strong> Ali-Tims showed is a fluid athlete. He looked smooth running his 40. There's little wasted movement when he runs. In 1v1's he showed off good footwork on his releases and solid breaks. He did a great job of catching with his hands away from his frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>2029 QB [player_tooltip player_id='1678340' first='Demetrius' last='Neal-Nesbitt'] 5'11 135 Pickerington North-</strong> Demetrius has a slender and athletic build. He shows off good footwork. As a thrower Neal-Nesbitt has a live arm and generates good velocity. He's a confident thrower who's able to throw from different arm slots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
