Five New Southwest Ohio Additions To the 2028 Rankings

With another year of development and film to evaluate we were able to add almost 200 players to the rankings and watch list. We rank based on what we project the players future college potential to be. Traits, film, and production all play into our evaluations. Today I take a look at five new additions from Southwest Ohio who have impressed us.    Lassen had a strong sophomore season for the Warriors. He finished second on the team in receptions (39), receiving yards (729), and touchdowns (8). At 6'2", Lassen already has a good frame with length. When you turn on the film, you see a player with a big catch radius who shows a strong ability to catch the ball away from his body and catch through contact. Athletically, he runs fluid routes and is able to create separation. Lassen profiles as an X at the next level who can stretch the field vertically, tracks the ball well, and has the ball skills to win 50-50 balls. I'm looking forward to seeing how Wyatt can continue to grow his game as he fills out and gets stronger.     The middle linebacker for the Warriors had an excellent sophomore season finishing 3rd in the GWOC in tackles with 92. Minor possesses the frame and the physicality to be a presence in the middle. He's strong in his read-and-react. He's good at getting through the wash to make plays between the tackles. He also shows the ability to shoot the gap on blitzes to make plays behind the line of scrimmage. He's a sound tackler and when he hits ball carriers they go backwards. As he continues to get bigger and stronger he's only going to become more violent and more of a force to deal with. In coverage Minor is comfortable in space and has the athleticism to roam and be disruptive. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this talented defender.     Coleman is a talented and versatile defensive back. When you watch his film, you see him line up in press man as a cornerback, and he's also comfortable in zone coverage. He will also line up deep as a free safety. As a corner in man coverage, he shows the hips and fluidity to turn and run with receivers. In zone, he's comfortable in space and doesn't get lost in coverage. As a deep safety, Harlem can cover a lot of ground. He has strong ball skills when the ball comes his way. In the run game, he plays downhill and is a willing tackler. His versatility will make him a valuable commodity in the recruiting process.     Price is another versatile safety from the Cincinnati area. I like him as a box safety who can also cover. He's twitchy and gets downhill in a hurry. His read-and-react ability in the run game is strong. In coverage, Kmahri shows an explosive break on the ball and does a great job of playing the ball rather than the man. His ability to play in the box and drop into coverage makes him a player who has to be accounted for at all times. Price is a player I could see rising quickly up the rankings as he gets bigger and stronger.     Cunningham plays middle linebacker for the Highlanders. The physical traits are there with Cunningham. He has the thick build of an inside linebacker. In run defense, Mylz is comfortable filling inside, but he also has the speed and athleticism to play sideline to sideline. In the pass game, Mylz is comfortable in zone coverage, and you better have your head on a swivel because he's liable to deliver a big hit. I'm excited to see what this offseason and the coming fall have to offer for Cunningham.
