<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"> After current rankings update one thing is very clear. Ohio's 2028 class is absolutely loaded with talent. Today we take a look at some of the top rankings risers from this update. By their play, their traits, and their development these players were able to set themselves apart and move up our rankings. So, let's take a look at my evaluation on our ranking's risers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1637477"],"_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-69937a015e129"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size">Graham had a stellar sophomore season, his first as starting quarterback for the Wayne Warriors.

His top game came against the toughest team on their schedule as he threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns to go with zero interceptions versus St Ed's. Kye has the athleticism to scramble and the arm talent to throw darts on the run. He has the arm talent and the confidence to make throws into tight windows. At 6 foot 2 and 190 pounds, physically he's already ahead of the curve.

He was top 5 in the GCL South in both sacks (9) and TFL's (16). While Griffin wasn't asked to play in space much this year because of the talented senior linebackers. With Reeder, Clapper, and Reilly all graduating, I wouldn't be surprised if Lyons got moved outside next year and played in space a lot more.

When you watch his film, you see a player who is so comfortable in space especially in centerfield. He will be a guy who you can put in the single high and feel confident that he's going to take away the dep part of the field. The thing that I like most is that I also see him as a guy who can play in the box and who can line up in man and hold his own. Physically he shows ability to flip his hips with easy and does a great job of tracking the ball. Diming holds early offers from Kent State, Miami (OH), and Ohio. I expect him to continue to add to that list this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1636903"],"_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-69937a015e27d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size">Johnson is a silky-smooth receiver from Berlin high school.

From the pocket he has the arm strength and touch to stress defenses vertically. He also has the ability to execute the RPO game. At this point Remy doesn't hold any offers, but with a strong camp season I think that could all change very quickly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
