Five 2027 Southwest Ohio Players Who Are Under The Radar

Today I take a look at 5 Cincinnati area juniors who are flying under the radar. With some strong junior film, they'll have a chance to move up in the 2027 rankings.    Jones is a talented edge rusher for the Princeton Vikings. He has a deep bag of pass rush tools considering his age. He shows the ability to get to the edge, has the strength to bull rush, and has a nice dip move. The even more impressive thing is his ability to double of moves with what looks like quick and effortless transitions. He's active with a great motor. Jones has 7 sacks on the season against some of the better competition Cincinnati has to offer.     Greene is a long and talented tight end from Withrow high school. At 6'6 195 his frame has plenty of room to continue adding good weight. Greene mostly lines up split out wide. In the run game he's a willing blocker. His athleticism and feet as a route runner are what really stick out. Sometimes with taller receivers and tight ends they struggle to drop their hips and be explosive in and out of breaks. Jaiden shows no worries with this. He also has loose hips he can flip and switch directions. I really like Greene's upside as a player who can be developed into a really good pass catching tight end at the D1 level. Greene has FBS offers from Kent State and Western Michigan.     Gunter has a really impressive combo of size and athleticism. His quick feet off the line of scrimmage allow him to get free releases. In his routes he shows the ability to work in and out of breaks and is a hands catcher. His size and frame as he continues to fill out I think he'll be a player who can line up inline and be effective in the run game as well.     Really liked what I saw in Meyer's film. In the run game he's a blocker who plays with an edge and loves finishing. In the pass game he's an easy hands catcher who's comfortable catching the ball away from his from his body. He's also comfortable playing through contact and winning 50/50 balls.     Mathis is a twitchy receiver who has an extensive route tree. He's used in a number of different ways in the Warriors offense. He has a good feel for setting up routes and using breaks to create separation. When he gets the ball in his hands in space, he's a big play waiting to happen. I project him to the slot position at the next level.
