<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A cross-state rivalry will capture headlines over the weekend as Trotwood-Madison (Ohio) takes on Center Grove (Ind.) on Friday night. Here are four underclassmen names to watch as these two stacked Division I programs battle it out:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["826779"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68cad023a7ed9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sloan has proved his strong summer camp showings were no fluke, leading the Trojans to a 4-0 record and an offense that has put up at least 35 points on the board in each of the past three games. With a quick trigger and smooth delivery, Sloan looks very accurate throwing the deep ball with great timing and touch. Just a sophomore, his potential is through the roof.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1694729"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68cad023a7f4a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tree Paxson is making a huge impact on the Center Grove defense. Possessing prototypical size and strength, Paxson is a great open-field tackler and strong pass rusher. Paxson's hits can pack a punch, and totaling 43 tackles and two forced fumbles so far this season he is likely due to receive several college offers this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1317505"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68cad023a7fa0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1317505' first='Darius' last='Dennis'] is a tall and rangy safety who can make plays on the ball and has the speed to take it to the house. Dennis takes great angles to the ball, wraps up and can deliver some heavy hits. Dennis is a legitimate Power 4 recruit whose recruiting should skyrocket after this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1851684"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68cad023a7feb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1851684' first='Tyler' last='Carpenter'] is shaping up to be one of the best outside linebackers in Oho. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound prospect has good range and can defend the flat as a run defender, rag-dolling ballcarriers to the ground with his length. He is a solid pass rusher with good closing speed. His closing speed on the ball and very high motor are qualities this Trotwood team benefits from.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
