<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Some prospects in the Buckeye State have been flying under-the-radar for many months, but that has changed this week as many of them have landed their first offers. Some of these prospects are likely to generate even more recruiting attention with a strong senior season in 2025. Here are four names to know:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1423733"],"_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-6899088bb90b4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Good interior run plugger with a solid first step and good quickness off the ball.
