<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ohio is loaded with big-time prospects every year, and the future will be no different.

The Class of 2028 linebacker has elite skills. He is tall, has plenty of arm length and great range and a high motor. Strong against the run, he can pursue and chase, wrap up ballcarriers behind the LOS and is effective as a pass rusher off the edge. He holds 13 offers, but I expect more to come during the NCAA contact period next month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1636891"],"_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-694c057d4649a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1636891' first='Jameer' last='Whyce'] is a dominant defensive tackle for Trotwood-Madison High School. Whyce is a strong pass rusher and even better against the run, with excellent anchor strength and the ability o hold the point-of-attack. At 6-foot-5, 270 pounds, he has a legitimate top-shelf Division I frame. Whyce has given an early verbal commitment to Ohio State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1285485"],"_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-694c057d46519"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1285485' first='Lorenzo' last='McMullen'] is a starting wid receiver for Taft High School. I've had my eye on McMullen for awhile, especially since Taft's college day last spring. McMullen is a big and fast wide receiver who can high-point the ball, win one-on-one battles and has great speed. McMullen is a top prospect in Ohio with 18 offers; I wouldn't be shocked if he reaches the 40-offer mark this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1637493"],"_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-694c057d4658f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1637493' first='Jayden' last='McKinney'] is a starting defensive lineman for Winton Woods. I really like McKinney, and despite holding just eight offers I would expect his recruiting to blow up in January when college coaches roll through the southwest Ohio powerhouse. He is a strong defensive tackle with a quick first step and a force against the run. With a thick upper and lower half and a 6-foot-3 frame, McKinney has plenty of room to add bulk and be a dominant run-plugging defensive tackle in major college football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Ohio is loaded with big-time prospects every year, and the future will be no different. Several 2028 prospects all across the state made names for themselves over the past season. As they progress through their high school and eventually college careers, you can expect big things to develop for these four prospects during the upcoming NCAA contact period in January.
