Toledo Prospects That Will Dominate 2025

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1153109' first='Victor' last='Singleton'] – DB – Central Catholic (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top-ranked player in Ohio's 2026 class by 247Sports, Singleton is every bit the lockdown corner coaches dream about. At 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds, he combines elite speed, fluid hips, and high-level ball skills. A Texas A&amp;M commit, Singleton rarely sees passes thrown his way, but still managed four interceptions and six pass breakups last season while helping Central Catholic reach the Division III state championship game. A two-time state long jump champion, Singleton's explosive athleticism translates perfectly to the gridiron.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1526785' first='Eli' last='Beal'] – RB – St. Francis (2026)</strong></h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Few backs in Ohio were as productive as Beal in 2024. The Springfield transfer exploded for 2,043 total yards and 29 touchdowns, showing a blend of vision and acceleration that's lethal in the open field. At 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, Beal has proven he can handle a heavy workload while also being a dangerous pass-catcher out of the backfield. A Bowling Green offer is already on the table, and more programs are expected to follow if he repeats his junior season performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1179204' first='Jermaine' last='Polk'] – DL – St. Francis (2026)</strong></h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Polk is a nightmare matchup for offensive linemen thanks to his combination of size and athleticism at 6-foot-4, 275 pounds. The Rutgers commit posted 71 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, and six sacks last season, showing versatility as both a run-stuffer and pass rusher. With St. Francis looking to build on a strong 8-4 campaign, Polk's presence on the defensive front gives them one of the region's top trench players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='497332' first='Seth' last='Elchert'] – WR/DB – Liberty-Benton (2026)</strong></h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elchert has proven himself to be one of the most dynamic playmakers in Northwest Ohio. The Toledo commit hauled in 69 receptions for 928 yards and 12 touchdowns while also locking down receivers on defense, earning eight interceptions. At 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, Elchert's size and ball skills make him a tough cover on offense and a difference-maker on defense. He enters 2025 looking to lead Liberty-Benton on another deep playoff run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
