He is a hard runner who breaks tackles as he heads north and south. Quicker than fast, Linberger can play the halfback or tailback position and does an excellent job of following his blockers. He also doubles as a linebacker on defense. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="122852" first="Jesse" last="Meyer"]     6’4” 220     TE     Coldwater</strong> Meyer is the go-to guy in the redzone. Even though he is a prototype tight end, he is used as a split X-receiver, opposite trips formation to the field. Meyer runs the fade and slant patterns as good as any wideout and his sure hands make him the number one target for his quarterback. He is a hard man to bring down after the catch due to his size and toughness. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="177971" first="Karson" last="[player_tooltip player_id="120251" first="[player_tooltip player_id="120251" first="[player_tooltip player_id="120251" first="Lang" last=""]" last=""]" last=""]"]     6’2” 170     WR     River Valley</strong> If you want a reliable route running receiver who isn’t afraid to go up to catch the football in a crowd, [player_tooltip player_id="120251" first="[player_tooltip player_id="120251" first="[player_tooltip player_id="120251" first="Lang" last=""]" last=""]" last=""] is your man. He can line up as a slot or wide receiver in order to get a mismatch on defensive backs or linebackers who try to cover him.  [player_tooltip player_id="120251" first="[player_tooltip player_id="120251" first="[player_tooltip player_id="120251" first="Lang" last=""]" last=""]" last=""] has good speed for his level of competition and consistently turns receptions into big plays. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="135830" first="Sam" last="Feldman"]     6’4” 215     QB     Springboro    </strong> Feldman is a tall and impressive quarterback who displays excellent touch on the football, knowing how much velocity to use in order to give his receivers a chance to make the reception.  His timing is superb in terms of hitting his target as the receiver breaks his route. Feldman can also keep the drive alive with his feet. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="127291" first="Shawn" last="Lodge"]     6’0” 170     DB     Akron St. Vincent St. Mary</strong> Even though Lodge is an excellent receiver, his best position is corner back.
