<p>Northeast Ohio features some of the top prospects in the state and Midwest region as a whole. With so many big-time prospects in Cleveland and Akron, talent is bound to shine. Here are four names you haven't heard of yet but likely will this fall:</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Good, solid, strong interior defensive lineman who plays with a flat back on his first step and holds the point well. Can sift through guards, diagnose and locate ballcarriers, make tackles behind the LOS and wrap up. Recorded 68 total tackles, 14 pressures and three sacks last season. Ohio Dominican offer.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Great ball skills. Can cover and carry deep routes, but keep his head on a swivel, whip around and snatch the ball out of the air on interceptions. Can make really acrobatic catches. Good instincts when the ball is in the air. Good closing speed on short/intermediate routes. Had 38 tackles, four interceptions and three pass breakups last season. No offers.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Quick release and solid arm. Good accuracy on short-intermediate throws and can fit the ball into tight windows. Hits targets with good accuracy, in stride, with little to no wasted movement on his release. No offers yet at this time. Was 70/110 for 1,100 yards passing and 10 touchdowns last season; played for Division II regional champions.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Light on his feet OT prospect who can move, pull and run. Neutralizes rushers well in pass protection. Great size and strength with plenty of room to grow, add bulk and more weight. Holds an offer from Youngstown State; stock should rise quickly.</p>
