<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>College prospects in Indiana made their verbal pledges over the past week and landed some new offers as the NCAA contact period draws to a close and the dead period begins. Recruiting will switch off in the weeks ahead as college coaches take time off and get ready for the season; here are four prospects who received offers and a look at what each team could be getting in their athletic abilities, with an emphasis on northern Indiana players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2234737"],"_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-6a3d1738e57e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2234737' first='Stephen' last='Miller'] from Hobart is a tough, instinctive, all-around defensive back with good coverage skills who can undercut routes effectively and make plays on the ball.  A two-way contributor on defense and offense, he had 25 catches for 460 yards and five touchdowns last year. At defensive back, he totaled 62 tackles, four TFLs, six pass breakups and four interceptions. Good frame at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, and is a name college coaches should know heading into the fall. No offers yet, but he really popped this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2002967"],"_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-6a3d1738e5868"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2002967' first='Kamari' last='Morris'] from Wayne is really, really tough on both sides of the ball. The two-way prospect flashes being a heavy hitter v. the run on defense who can deliver big blows, takes great pursuit angles to ballcarriers, and is very instinctive with a high motor. While he is limited in his snaps at tailback, he is a very physical runner who flashes ability to be an outstanding inside runner who can bounce off contact like a pinball. He picked up an offer from Bluffton in June, but keep an eye on him this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2234740"],"_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-6a3d1738e58c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2234740' first='Rylan' last='Hoole'] is a tough, rugged linebacker prospect for South Vigo who has a chance to be great. Hoole displays great sideline-to-sideline range and a high motor with good pursuit, excellent instincts, and quick read-and-reaction time. At 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, he has an excellent frame with plenty of room to grow in a college weight program. Franklin College offered in June, and some team at any level is going to get a steal in what he brings to the table.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2061032"],"_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-6a3d1738e5911"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2061032' first='Rayvon' last='Martin'] is a big tight end prospect for Avon who can high-point the ball. He displays soft hands especially around the endzone where his size and height presents matchup problems for opposing defenses, enabling him to score. Big target over the middle of the field. Has a good frame, very athletic-looking prospect. Picked up his first offer from Marian after the Indiana Preps summer camp.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
