Buckeye State Ballers Looking For a Breakout Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we feature four prospects in the Buckeye State who are flying under-the-radar in recruiting but will make big impacts on their high school teams in the fall.  These prospects, specifically in the 2028 class, have little-to-no offers or recruiting attention and deserve a look at their most-recent film.  Here they are:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2202700"],"_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-6a3ad94224e59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We spotlighted Class of 2028 defensive end [player_tooltip player_id='2202700' first='Levi' last='Anderson'] at his team's college day workout / SWOC Combine. The 6-foot-3.5, 245-pound edge is very explosive with great first-step quickness. Has a nose for the ball, can set a vertical edge, shed blocks and wrap up. Anderson's recruiting has taken off, earning an offer from Eastern Michigan in the middle of June. A breakout junior year will take his recruitment up a notch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1591909"],"_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-6a3ad94224ecd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1591909' first='Bryland' last='Alexander'] out of Gahanna Lincoln saw his recruiting pick up over the summer.

On tape, Foster flashes great hands over the middle of the field and the ability to be a big target in Lebanon's offense. Can make acrobatic catches look easy and has good run-after-the-catch ability. Good top-end speed to break away from tackles and score touchdowns. Big Class of 2028 prospect with time and room to grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2089191"],"_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-6a3ad94224f7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Darjhon Nyhzeer Knight is a talented safety in the Class of 2028 who plays for Westerville Central.

He had 37 tackles, 20 solo tackles, five pass breakups with just three games last season. His recruiting took off in June, earning offers from Tennessee and Robert Morris.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
