<p class="text-gray-700">Brewu - who checked into the Miami-Ohio Academic Mega Camp last summer at a verified 5-foot-10.75 and 162 pounds - is a good zone cover corner who can stay in phase. He can cover and carry passes deep downfield well, and has enough height and is strong academically to be a good prospect.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Peters has great size and length. His 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame is prototypical to play either wideout or defensive back. He had four interceptions last year, has good leaping ability, and possesses good ball skills.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Smith has grown since his sophomore season which is good. He has the chance to be a solid recruit. His ability to close on ballcarriers in run support and carry deep fades make him an intriguing prospect worth keeping an eye on at the central Ohio school.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Davis-Ray has four Division I offers and is a very versatile player, contributing in all three phases of the game. He has very good closing speed and open-field tackling ability from his perch at safety. He can take interceptions to the house and displays good vision with the ball in his hands.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Woodfork is a good man coverage corner with ability to stick on receivers like glue. He can be physical when playing press, and is strong with staying in phase and covering deep fades. He displays good timing with his hands to break up passes.</p>
