Scouting the Hoosier State Commitments: Part IV

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The summer months brought a busy month full of recruiting news as underclassmen competed for offers at college camps and several 2026 players made college decisions. Here is part three of a multi-part series offering a quick breakdown of prospects who gave their verbal pledge and what their teams will get.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1178520"],"_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-686f9ebbedf12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ruxer, and his teammate we'll mention next, carried Heritage Hills to a Class 3A state championship last season. Their work paid off in a big way as multiple Power 4 teams began vying for their services. Ruxer, an all-state wideout, and 43 catches for 893 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. Recruited as a tight end, Ruxer has great downfield speed and is great after-the-catch. Oklahoma landed a valuable Hoosier State prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["533140"],"_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-686f9ebbedfa4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mississippi landed Ruxer's teammate, [player_tooltip player_id='533140' first='Jett' last='Goldsberry'], recorded 40 solo tackles and three sacks last season. Ruxer brings the hammer from his perch at safety, quickly getting downhill, landing big hits and taking great angles to ballcarriers. Goldsberry was on an outstanding defense that pitched five shutouts en route to their state championship last fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["391044"],"_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-686f9ebbee022"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Manna is a tough inside tailback. He is great between-the-tackles with great burst through the hole and wastes no time getting upfield. Manna is a very valuable commitment for the Bulldogs and a great asset to new coach Kevin Lynch's staff.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["560083"],"_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-686f9ebbee097"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kramer, also committed to Butler, is what modern college football offenses need: a dual-threat runner and gunslinger who can throw ont he move and make things happen with his legs. Kramer has great vision, almost like a running back, and had a very productive season in 2024: he was 134-222 for 1,932 yards and 14 touchdowns, and added 206 carries for 1,700 yards and 25 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
