Xavier Tyler | 5’10 185lbs | WR/RB | Reitz Memorial | @xai_tyler6
Tyler is making a name for himself and expected to have a breakout Senior Year. With his versatility not only downfield but also in the backfield he provides a lot of options on how to utilize his talents. Tyler has shown he’s fully capable of making a reach for a long ball pass far down the stretch and can take the hit along with it. What will set Tyler apart is his all-around athleticism, he can be on any end of the field in a quick manner with a highlight block or taking the ball to the endzone in a variety of ways. If his off-season is as productive as one would hope, this will be a name all over the recruiting boards this fall.
Amarion Moore | 6’3 175lbs | WR | Concord | @amar1onmoore
This young man continues to impress and has immense potential, with looks from some MAC schools, I see Moore going even higher on recruiting boards if he keeps up his momentum. A notable highlight to Moore’s talents are his long strides after take-off, there’s nearly a rocketship comparison once he gets his footing and dusts the secondary. Moore has a bright future to come and I look forward to seeing how transitions to a leadership role next season.
Desmond Duffy Desmond Duffy 5'9" | 180 lbs | WR Carmel | 2023 State IN | 5’9 180 | WR | Carmel | @DesmondDuffy7
As a ’23 Grad being able to bring a 4.56 40yd Dash time with plenty of development yet to come, Duffy is a force to be reckoned with. While his height may be an obstacle to overcome later on, he makes great use of his abilities. By far one of the most impressive slot receivers I have seen in the state, his bolts off the snap and ankle-breaking cuts will continue to be something opposing coaches have to gameplan for. With the right set-up, Duffy can easily prosper and make an impact on a variety of programs at the FCS level, maybe more.
Donovan Johnson | 6’1 180 | WR | Elkhart | @donniedog26
Johnson has great mobility and the ability to find ways to get open regardless of the route and defender. At 6’1, he carries himself on the field at a much greater height and makes use of his wingspan to make the reach not everyone is capable of. Once he has possession, Johnson has a ferocity mimicking a freight train that will not be stopped until it reaches the destination. If there is any bit of growth spurt left, Johnson will be a highlight reel in the making if he is given the opportunity, his stock will be rising quickly.
