Analyzing the 2028 Rankings: Four Prospects Who Made Big Jumps

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br><strong>We updated Ohio's Class of 2028 rankings and came up with some new names and wanted to do a quick analysis piece of why we ranked players how we did.  Here's a quick breakdown on these four prospects:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["450427"],"_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-68eaf6b8864b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='450427' first='Brysen' last='Hall'] is right on the verge of seeing his recruiting boom.  Hall has great accuracy on the deep ball and is very effective when throwing on the move.  He scans the field well, has a quick trigger and finds open receivers, hitting them in stride.  He has thrown for 1,226 yards and 12 touchdowns so far this season. He is a new addition to the rankings. His growth in height will probably determine his level, but from the standpoint of talent and abilities as a passer he is a strong prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1284386"],"_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-68eaf6b886527"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1284386' first='Cory' last='Nicodemus'] is a mauler in the run game and is proving he belongs in the conversation about Ohio's top 2028 o-linemen.  Nicodemus has a solid first step, quickly climbs and blocks at the second level and runs his feet on contact.  Keep a close watch on his development.  He is a new addition to the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1637484"],"_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-68eaf6b88658a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1637484' first='Tylynn' last='Brown'], another new addition to our rankings, is a squatty interior defensive linemen who has a quick first step and flashes a nose for the ball.  Solid and steady as a tackler, Brown could develop into a legitimate Division I recruit depending on how he grows.  Brown is around the ball a lot and likes to thump offensive linemen especially on interception returns. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1199918"],"_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-68eaf6b8865ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1199918' first='Tate' last='Richards'] out of Findlay flashes some promise.  With a solid arm and a quick trigger, he hits receivers in stride nicely, especially dropping it in the bucket well over the middle of the field.  Richards throws nice darts down the sideline with pinpoint accuracy.  Keep an eye on his development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
