Indiana Players Flying Under the Radar

Indiana has a bunch of players getting a ton of love, and for good reason. But, it is also leaving some players in the dust. The problem is, they shouldn’t be far behind. Here are some players who are flying under the radar. Zach Osborne - Carmel High School - QB - 6’1" 215 lbs Osbourne is more of your Pro-Style QB. He has a sturdy frame and a good size for his age. He’s not great at running but can escape when needed. He’s got a big arm and players love playing with him. He’s a great student and has the attention of some IVY league schools. He’s currently listed as a 2-star recruit with an offer from Colgate, Dartmouth, and Yale. [player_tooltip player_id="98059" first="Reece" last="Lozano"] - Bloomington North - QB - 6’1" 185 lbs Lozano is someone who could benefit from a good summer of hard lifting. In all honesty that’s just me being picky. He’s got a gift of being able to see the field when on the move. He gets his shoulders square and fires a rifle. He’s got 1 offer as it stands now from Indiana State. [player_tooltip player_id="98035" first="DeJuan" last="Echoles"] - Warren Central - LB - 6’0" 205 lbs Echoles is a Linebacker with great speed. He’s best playing on the outside in a hybrid role. He can rush the passer and drop into coverage. I think he’d benefit from a summer camp or 2 working as an Edge rusher. He’s got an offer from Ball State as an LB. He will primarily play outside but he could play inside if given time to learn more about football from a schematic standpoint. [player_tooltip player_id="98071" first="Owen" last="Wood"] - Cathedral High School - OT - 6’5" 305 lbs Wood will never see the light of day inside the line. He was born to anchor the outside of the offensive line. He’s got great size and weight for his age. He doesn’t bend very well and can be stiff on the line. But, for someone his size, he has great speed and agility when on the move. He excels at an extremely high level when he’s on the run. [player_tooltip player_id="98002" first="Theodore" last="Sparks"] - Merrillville - IOL - 6’3" 260 lbs Sparks is a very nimble Guard. He bends well and is great at the point of attack. He’s a slender 260 lbs but he will grow into that. He’s listed as a 2-star recruit and is currently on the radar for local Ball State. Where Sparks goes to college depends on how well he fills out his frame. He’s got the physical ability it’s just a matter of what he does with it.
