Central Ohio Defensive Senior Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I want to shine a light on four seniors in Central Ohio who have been having stellar campaigns on the defensive side of the ball. Let's dive in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1693254"],"_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-68dc4b1c21cc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bangoura was someone to keep an eye on coming into the season for Westerville Central, and now you can't get your eyes off of him. He's playing both ways for the Warhawks as an offensive tackle and everywhere on the defensive line. He's a freak athlete. He's got powerful arms and great length. Mohamed knows how to use his body as a rusher and can often make offensive linemen look silly with his power and torque. He's grown in terms of football IQ and has put together a tremendous senior campaign so far. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1923430"],"_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-68dc631fde2c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaxson has had a great start to his senior season. He's playing great in coverage, being sticky in man coverage, and aware of his positioning when playing match coverage. He's aggressive in his pursuit of the ball and can make plays crashing down from deep. When we get to the playoffs, Jaxson will be a key player in Harvest Prep's secondary. Jaxson has the size and athleticism to play at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1906349"],"_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-68d36a8df15f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Liam is an explosive linebacker for the Olentangy Berlin defense. He may be undersized on paper, but he plays quickly and physically. He's got good recognition of plays coming his way and can act on them in his pursuit. He is stout in coverage and can make plays on the ball. He's a complete package in terms of what he can do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1695201"],"_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-68dc631fde338"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malik has a magnet for the football in 2025. He currently has five interceptions on the year, all coming from the safety position. He's great breaking on balls in the air. He's quick and, overall, a great athlete. You won't find many defensive backs with playmaking skills like Malik's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
