<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have officially surpassed the halfway point of the Ohio high school football regular season, and with that we review four players in the Buckeye State who performed admirably in Week 5. Here are some prospects who had breakout performances:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["949861"],"_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-68d15f748b4c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jammier Gordon from Lancaster is a dynamic threat both in the running game and passing game, and that was best displayed on Friday: he had 229 total yards and two touchdowns - 17 carries for 102 rushing yards and one touchdown, and added three catches for 127 receiving yards and one touchdown through the air. Gordon displays soft hands in the open field and flashes outstanding breakaway speed after the catch. At the season's midway point, he has over 500 rushing yards, eight touchdowns and 279 receiving yards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["946938"],"_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-68d15f748b57b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Josiah Raviolis displays great instincts against the run, recording seven tackles. In coverage he recorded two deflections last week. The 5-foot-11 safety can be a thumper, breaking up passes around the back of the end zone and displaying good use-of-hands in coverage. Keep an eye on his recruiting this winter when college coaches can visit schools.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1893916"],"_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-68d15f748b60b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brennan Kessler shined last week in a dominant 31-7 victory over Berlin: flashing a high motor with great pursuit and excellent speed, he recorded five sacks and seven tackles, setting a new school record. Kessler has excellent range and takes great angles to the ball. The Class of 2027 linebacker is very instinctive, twitchy and explosive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1663325"],"_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-68d15f748b68c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1663325' first='Christian' last='Roether'] is having a breakout sophomore season. The 6-foot-3 tight end is a great run blocker in space and creates lanes for ‘backs to get upfield for positive yards. He is also a nifty receiver with good adjustment to the ball and great hands in traffic. Had six catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns. I would expect college coaches to get in-touch with him especially if he grows.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
