<p><strong>1. [player_tooltip player_id='1516813' first='Landon' last='Echelberry'] – QB – Clay – Class of 2028</strong><br>The Findlay transfer wasted no time making an impact for Clay, tossing a 30-yard strike to Carter Walendzak in the first quarter of last week's shutout win over Southview. Echelberry has poise in the pocket and the arm strength to stretch defenses vertically. He's a key piece if Clay wants to make noise in the NLL Buckeye Division.</p>

<p><strong>2. Garrison Kruse – RB – Liberty Center – Class of 2026</strong><br>Kruse has been unstoppable to start the season, scoring four touchdowns against Eastwood, including runs of 58 and 50 yards. A workhorse back with downhill power and deceptive burst, he's the heartbeat of a Tigers program that hasn't lost a regular-season game since 2021.</p>

<p><strong>3. Cohen Jones – RB – Maumee – Class of 2027</strong><br>Jones found the end zone twice in a heartbreaking loss to Napoleon. The junior is a patient runner with excellent balance, and he's proven he can be the consistent offensive spark for Maumee. Expect him to be heavily featured again tonight.</p>

<p><strong>4. Paul Sausser – WR – Napoleon – Class of 2028</strong><br>Only a sophomore, Sausser flashed big-play ability with a 52-yard touchdown grab against Maumee. He's a smooth route runner who uses his length to win jump balls. His stock is trending up quickly as Napoleon looks to build off its first win of the season.</p>

<p><strong>5. Carter Walendzak – WR/DB – Clay – Class of 2026</strong><br>Walendzak brings two-way value for the Eagles. On offense, he's a sure-handed target who creates separation with precise routes. On defense, he has the physicality to match up with bigger receivers. Pair him with Echelberry, and Clay has a dangerous combo to lean on.</p>
