Recruiting Roundup: Rising Prospects Landing College Offers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spring recruiting is in full swing, with several prospects in Indiana seeing their recruiting blow up, or some landing their first offers. Here are five Hoosier State prospects who have been on a role over the past two weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1429135"],"_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-69c94a8441748"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1429135' first='Branden' last='Sharpe']'s recruiting is primarily the same as it has been all winter/early spring: on the rise. College coaches could be seeing Sharpe as arguably the top receiver in the state, the one who has risen up the fastest. Maryland and Virginia offered this month, and he has official visits scheduled for Purdue in June and Indiana in late May.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1862988"],"_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-69c94a84417a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ifeayanyi Emedobi is the fastest-rising recruit in the state and for good reason. Even since our early March roundup, he has picked up even more offers, including from Penn State, Kansas State, and South Florida, the latter of which he measured at 11 and 3/8 hand size and 35-inch arms. Rutgers has also jumped in on the action. Putting on the cleats before last fall could wind up being the best choice the 6-foot-3, 215-pound edge rusher with high upside could ever make.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1607851"],"_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-69c94a84417f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We project Corderro Bennet to be the best wide receiver in the state for an already-stacked Class of 2028. Think [player_tooltip player_id='631962' first='Monshun' last='Sales'] 2.0: 6-foot-4 plus, 190 pounds, with impressive arm length and athleticism and great hands that make him a very good recruit. Bennett picked up an offer from Wisconsin recently and also visited Notre Dame; expect more offers and attention to come his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1667351"],"_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-69c94a8441835"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Compared to most top recruits, [player_tooltip player_id='1630653' first='Ben' last='Davis'] athlete [player_tooltip player_id='1667351' first='Keontay' last='Toomer']'s recruiting started slowly, but it has really come alive lately with UConn, Ball State, Kansas, Illinois and Wisconsin all offering the 6-foot-2 prospect who is a very good defensive back. I saw Toomer at the Colts 11-on 7v7 tournament last July and he has very good size, arm length and coverage skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1672712"],"_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-69c94a8441876"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We visited Decatur Central and spoke with head coach Kyle Enright about his prospects just a couple of months ago, and the head coach was very high on Class of 2029 quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1672716' first='Ezekiel' last='Hester']. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound quarterback picked up his first offer from UConn last week. Expect more to come for this high-upside recruit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
