<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the season coming up, we'll spend the next couple of months spotlighting some seniors in the Buckeye State who had great seasons last year yet remain flying under recruiting radars. These four players have the tools to compete somewhere in college, and their senior year of tape will back it up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2236485"],"_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-6a4253869130f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2236485' first='Christian' last='Stevenson'] is a solid middle linebacker who can plug the middle again the run, make tackles behind the LOS and wrap up.

Scott displays strong route running skills at receiver with ability to create on his own over the middle of the field. His college fit is at cornerback, where he can be very physical with receivers, stay in-phase and make plays on the ball. Very good blitzer off the perimeter. High-academic prospect who had two touchdowns, one INT, one sack, 23 tackles, and 14 catches for 131 yards; earned offers from Heidelberg and Bluffton.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2236492"],"_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-6a4253869144f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> <br>[player_tooltip player_id='2236492' first='Cash' last='Mahr'] is starting to get some much-deserved recruiting attention. Strong guard prospect who drives his feet on contact and creates vertical push, effective pass protection with great size and strength. He picked up offers from Capital, Wooster and Ohio Wesleyan last June and more could be expected with a dominant senior season. Heidelberg also offered.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2236479"],"_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-6a425386914ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vandalia Butler center [player_tooltip player_id='2236479' first='Konnor' last='Bates'] flashes potential and high effort. A good center who can snap and step quickly, fire forward off the LOS and block at the second level, he flashes a great mean streak and is an excellent finisher. Drives defenders off the ball effectively and runs his feet on contact. Plays with good bend and leverage in pass pro. Under-the-radar prospect who picked up an offer from Wittenberg.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
