Here are four standouts who put up big numbers and made critical plays from all over the Buckeye State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2343901"],"_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-6a8c4c4c429de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Marshay McKinley will be a name we watch as his high school career kicks off in a big way after his strong freshman season. The 6-foot-0, 175-pound athlete, who holds three Division I offers, made catch after catch on Friday night in a 34-0 shutout win over Circleville, including a big-time one-handed touchdown grab. He had four catches for 92 yards and one touchdown in Week 1 and never looked back. Saw in-person during Ironton 7v7 challenge. Expect big things to come for the Class of 2030 playmaker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1925374"],"_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-6a8c4c4c42a56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nazir White is a very good prospect who we'll be monitoring this season, who landed on our radars in Week 1 with a whopping 303 passing yards and five touchdowns. White is a good quarterback with a quick release, dual-threat ability and big potential to be a dynamic player. He finished 2025 with 1,089 passing yards; suffice to say, he's well on his way to surpassing that total in 2026. Class of 2028 prospect for Dunbar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1650882"],"_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-6a8c4c4c42a83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Javion Presswood could be one of the most overlooked players in the Midwest, and definitely in Oho. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound prospect and high-academic (3.8 GPA) player is a good open-field tackler and strong all-around prospect, who can defend the run and drop back to cover the pass. Presswood, a Class of 2027 recruit who plays for LaSalle High School, had one interception, eight tackles and two tackles for loss in a 30-21 Week 1 win over Colerain.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2171440"],"_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-6a8c4c4c42aa7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Greg Thomas showed why he can be a legitimate Division I prospect with his speed and burst. The 5-foot-9, 170-pound athlete prospect lined up at inside receiver on Friday night, a position he'll liekly play at the next level. Thomas has great burst, explosiveness and strong route running ability with elite top-end speed to go the distance after the catch. He finished with 127 total yards from scrimmage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
