<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Central Ohio features several up-and-coming prospects who will undoubtedly shine this fall in the most talent-rich area of the Hoosier State.  Here are some non-household names you don't know about yet, but players who have a chance to break out and have great seasons in 2025.  Here they are:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1540521"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6857354fdc65c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big, strong, tough run plugger who is stout against the run.

Big tight end who can catch and get vertical. Effective blocker who can move his feet on contact with good latch and hand use. Positional fit and frame strikes me more on defense as an OLB, but time will tell.

Good wrap-up tackler with an adequate frame to hold more weight. Good pursuit, speed and chase. Can wrap up ballcarriers behind the LOS. Takes good angles and is very instinctive. Needs to grow into his frame and develop. Central State is his first offer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
