Spring Ball Standouts Seeing Their Recruiting Skyrocket

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With spring practices and college days under way, college camps looming large, and the upcoming fall season right around the corner, we are taking a look ahead at some under-the-radar prospects who plan to make a name for themselves over the next few months. Here are four standouts who pop on film and have taken their recruiting up a notch with strong showings during spring ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1532257"],"_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-6a01e234ea1e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Logansport offensive tackle [player_tooltip player_id='1532257' first='RJ' last='Clem'] is picking up steam. Clem helped pave the way for the Berries last season, finishing 8-4 in Troy Hudson's first year with the program. Clem is a very good run blocker with a mean streak, driving his feet on contact and creating great vertical push at the line of scrimmage. Good first step quickness, flashes twitch, good hand placement and leg drive. College coaches are undoubtedly enamored with his 6-foot-7 frame. Recently picked up his first Power 4 offer from Wake Forest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2061077"],"_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-6a01e234ea266"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Michigan, Texas A&amp;M and Kentucky have all thrown their hat into the mix for Lawrence Central defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='2061077' first='Errol' last='Kerns']. The 6-foot-0, 195-pound prospect shined at his team's college day, and just weeks after committing to Miami-Ohio, Kerns is starting to get some long overdue national attention. Fast, quick and with great downhill closing speed and strong production (90 tackles, three interceptions, three forced fumbles in 2025), Kerns is a thumper with a high ceiling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1866976"],"_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-6a01e234ea2c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The past few weeks have been very good for North Central Class of 2028 quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1866976' first='Chase' last='Grove']. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound passer has picked up offers from Iowa, UConn, Kansas State and Miami-Ohio. When I visited North Central during a spring practice, I was impressed with his command, work ethic, confidence and leadership. After seeing him at multiple camps, I also think he is developing into his own as a passer with a quick trigger and strong arm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1924893"],"_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-6a01e234ea31f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1924893' first='Sam' last='Hirschy'] is blowing up.

He has become a national recruit in a short amount of time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
