Smith has quick first step off the line of scrimmage, flashes excellent strength as a run blocker. Smith can work to the second level, place his hands and drive defenders off the ball. Smith also likes to ‘hit' in pass pro, flashing a punch that can jolt rushers off pursuit angles. Fits at guard in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1971123"],"_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-6929a91aa6c9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1971123' first='Tylar' last='Robinson'] is a starting defensive back for University High School. The 6-foot-0, 180-pound prospect aligns at safety and is a ballhawk. Robinson has very good read-and-reaction time when the ball is in the air. He possesses great leaping ability, has long arms and uses his length to snatch the ball with his wide catch radius. I could see Robinson having a strong summer camp showing and earning much-deserved college attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1968756"],"_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-6929a91aa6d2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1968756' first='Owen' last='Clary'] is a starting linebacker for Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy. Clary is a tackling machine. Very instinctive, fast and twitchy, with quick read-and-reaction time, Clary is an outstanding downhill run defender who wastes no time getting from Point A to B. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound middle ‘backer is constantly around the ball. He is an outstanding run defender and strong pass rusher, having recorded 10 sacks this past season. Clary racked up an eye-popping 138 tackles this fall, posts a 315 bench, a 505 squad and a 32-inch vertical.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1968759"],"_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-6929a91aa6d92"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1968759' first='Tyson' last='Varney'] is a starting offensive lineman for Hamilton Township. The central Ohio stud flashes a quick first step off the ball. A classic interior guard, Varney runs his feet on contact, creates vertical push at the line of scrimmage and can be a handful to disengage and shed. Varney is very physical, playing with good leverage, bend and pad level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

We added more than 150 prospects to our rankings in Ohio last month. In our next article and multi-part series, we break down four new additions - two on offense, specifically on the offensive line, and two on defense.
