Five 2028 Newly Ranked Small School Columbus Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With our recent update to the Ohio class of 2028 rankings, we have seen over 170 prospects added to the class. I want to take some time to review five prospects at D4 or below schools in the Columbus area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1167285"],"_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-69957e9248b35"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anthony was a shining light on KIPP Columbus last season, which sees him jump from the watch list to just outside the top 30. He shines as a run defender off the edge. He's quick to get off the line and can use his length to wrap up ball carriers at the line of scrimmage. With room to grow into his body and more time to develop as a pass rusher, Jemison will be someone to look out for in the Columbus area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128363"],"_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-69957cf90f49b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maximus is someone I didn't get to see live this past season, but I am intrigued to see what he can do this offseason. He's got a good frame and is flexible in the secondary. He's comfortable in man coverage and can use his length to force incompletions. He went against a tough schedule, matching up with several ranked wide receiver prospects in our rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128575"],"_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-69957cf90f50a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Duncan is a great athlete who Grandview Heights put out wide in their offense. He's a big-bodied pass catcher who can get up to win 50/50 balls. He catches with his hands and can fight for extra yards after the catch. He's a big mismatch for most of the competition he faces.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128494"],"_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-69957cf90f554"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dontel played on both lines for the Nubians and wrecked games. He's quick to shed blocks as a defensive lineman. He moves quickly off the snap and can get his hands inside to rip through blocks. As an offensive lineman, he typically lined up as a right tackle. He's got quick feet and used his momentum and size to run through his engaged defender. He's a giant mismatch against smaller defensive linemen and someone very hard to deal with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1668017"],"_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-69957cf90f59a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nicholas is an instinctive zone corner. He seems to always be in the right spot and can force something to happen with the football. He's a great athlete who can bait quarterbacks well and spring onto the ball. He's a tough tackler who plays bigger than his size suggests. I want to get a closer look at Nicholas this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
