Best-Available, Uncommitted Class of 2027 Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's getting down to decision time for the top Class of 2027 prospects nationwide, including in Ohio. Many college prospects will be making verbal pledges in the coming months as they go on official visits and narrow down their lists of schools. Today, we take a look at four prospects in Ohio who are still on recruiting boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["817944"],"_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-69d91e91e8e35"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Antwoine Higgins is one of the best outside linebackers in the Midwest. His 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame is covetable for college coaches. Higgins displays great instincts, flows to the ball and makes great open-field tackles in space. He is also great as a pass rusher, wrecking havoc on quarterbacks, and possesses top-shelf ball skills to make interceptions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["949446"],"_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-69d91e91e8eaa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Deontae Malone is one of the most talented prospects in the buckeye State when it comes to the skill positions. The 6-foot-0, 175-pound prospect is elite after the catch, running through contact and staying on his feet and finishing forward on contact. Undoubtedly his post-catch vision and balance are his strongest qualities. He can get around opposing corners easily in space. Good burst off the LOS.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1602661"],"_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-69d91e91e8efc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm kicking myself for not seeing [player_tooltip player_id='1602661' first='Davis' last='Seaman'] when I was at the Ironton Kickoff Classic last fall; leaving after the first game; the good news is that I will see him in-person during the college day circuit this spring. Seaman is just a tough, physical and feisty offensive tackle. He drives his feet on contact, flashes great first-step quickness and works to the second level. He has outstanding use-of-hands, great mirror in pass pro and quick foot speed. He is arguably the second or third best available prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1693161"],"_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-69d91e91e8f4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1693161' first='Conner' last='Rutherford'] is an impressive two-way starter for Chillicothe. He is a standout for the southern Ohio school, taking great angles to ballcarriers and wrapping up on contact as a defensive lineman; on offense, he is an outstanding finisher when run blocking, driving his feet on contact and taking defenders for a ride downfield. In pass pro he can sustain rushers, and is hard to get around just due to his frame alone. He is now up to more than 24 offers; expect more to come his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
