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.
Reece Lozano Reece Lozano 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Bloomington North | 2022 State IN – 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.
DeJuan Echoles DeJuan Echoles 6'2" | 220 lbs | ATH Warren Central | 2022 State IN – 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.
Owen Wood Owen Wood 6'5" | 315 lbs | OL Cathedral | 2022 State IN – 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.
Theodore Sparks Theodore Sparks 6'3" | 270 lbs | OL Merrillville | 2022 State IN – 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.
