Committed Central Ohio Prospects to Know

C.J Sanna – LB – Olentangy (Ohio State Commit) Sanna is the heart of Olentangy's defense and one of the most physical linebackers in the state of Ohio. At 6'3” and 220 pounds, he diagnoses plays quickly, closes space with authority, and finishes tackles with force. Coming off a junior campaign with nearly 100 tackles and double-digit tackles for loss, Sanna plays downhill and sets the tone at the line of scrimmage. His blend of power and sideline-to-sideline range fits perfectly into Ohio State's defensive scheme, and he enters his senior year as the unquestioned leader of the Braves' defense.   [player_tooltip player_id='573482' first='Kaden' last='Gebhardt'] – S – Olentangy (Clemson Commit) Gebhardt brings size and versatility to the back end of the Braves' defense. At 6'2” and nearly 200 pounds, he plays with a physical edge in run support while flashing strong ball skills in coverage. His instincts and ability to cover ground make him a key chess piece in a modern defense, with the potential to slide between safety and hybrid linebacker roles. Committed to Clemson, Gebhardt's athleticism and willingness to hit give him the tools to see the field early at the next level while anchoring Olentangy's secondary this fall.   [player_tooltip player_id='574328' first='Levi' last='Davis'] – QB – Olentangy Orange (Ohio Commit) Davis is a dynamic dual-threat quarterback who can beat defenses with both his arm and legs. He threw for nearly 1,900 yards and 19 touchdowns as a junior while adding 10 rushing scores, showing poise under pressure and the ability to extend plays. At 5'11”, he's quick-footed in the pocket, makes smart reads, and is equally dangerous when a play breaks down. Headed to Ohio University, Davis will look to build on his efficiency and leadership as he leads an Orange team looking to make noise in the postseason.   [player_tooltip player_id='1540687' first='Favour' last='Akih'] – RB – Delaware Hayes (Ohio State Commit) Akih is a power back with breakaway speed, standing at 6'0” and nearly 190 pounds. He runs with a downhill style, punishing defenders at the point of contact while showing enough acceleration to rip off chunk plays. A track athlete with legitimate burst, Akih thrives between the tackles and has the agility to make defenders miss in space. With a senior season ahead where he'll be the centerpiece of Hayes' offense, he projects as a natural fit for Ohio State's power run game, with the ability to contribute early in his collegiate career.
