<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2025 Ohio High School football season is in the books. So many players really shined throughout the fall season. Here are four particular playmakers from across the state who proved they belong and are deserving of college attention. These four potential stars have a great chance to shine in front of college coaches at college camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["313561"],"_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-69395924d5dd6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='313561' first='Brady' last='Maxwell'] is a starting quarterback for Perrysburg High School. Maxwell flashes a quick release and a strong arm, but his real value comes from being a dual-threat who can make plays with his legs. Maxwell can quickly get upfield and be a threat as a runner which college football offenses need. As a passer, he can fit the ball into tight windows and flashes a very accurate arm. Maxwell had 2,562 all-purpose yards and 28 touchdowns this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1075425"],"_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-69395924d5e5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1075425' first='Nile' last='Knutson'] is a starting quarterback for Lakota East. He was a starter as a sophomore, and the 5-foot-11, 182-pound prospect really shined. A strong quarterback who can make plays with his legs and be very mobile and effectively throw on the move, Knutson has a quick release, good trigger, accurate deep arm and can hit receivers in stride. He led the conference in both completion percentage and completions, led the conference in passing yards and had 22 passing touchdowns. As a junior-to-be, he flashes plenty of upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1423714"],"_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-69395924d5eb4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1423714' first='Will' last='Morse'] is a talented Class of 2029 receiver at Westerville Central. The 6-foot-0, 150-pound wideout has a solid size-speed ratio and displays very good hands in traffic. Morse can high-point the ball and make acrobatic catches. He is also solid after-the-catch. Morse will be a name to know in Ohio for the not-too-distant future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Austine Wade","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Toledo Central Catholic","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69395924d5f88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Austin Wade has the potential to be a future star. He is a receiver for Toledo Catholic Central in the Class of 2029. Wade has very good change-of-direction and speed after-the-catch. He has an uncanny ability to make defenders miss, stay balanced in the open field and top-end juice to fly away from defenders and make things happen after-the-catch. A legit home-run threat with the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
