Recruiting Roundup: High-Impact Players Pick Up Big-Time Offers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Summer recruiting was in full swing in the Hoosier State, with several prospects in Indiana seeing their recruiting blow up, or some landing their first offers. Here are four Hoosier State prospects who were on a roll and picked up some of their first offers last summer. We'll still be recapping the summer which saw a flurry of offers extended.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1250066"],"_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-6a58d27c115d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We have limited tape on South Bend St. Joseph Class of 2029 two-way lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1250066' first='Bane' last='Wulf'], but he has evidently been shining at college camps, earning an early offer from Toledo after a one-day camp last week. Wulf has excellent size and a great frame, with plenty of time to develop in the weight room over the next several seasons. We will circle back and evaluate him this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622548"],"_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-6a58d27c116e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1622548' first='Deaken' last='Johnson'] left a strong impression college coaches around the country over the past spring and summer. Johnson, a likely starter for Hamilton Southeastern this fall, earned offers from top teams such as Penn state, Texas A&amp;M, Houston, Purdue and Iowa State. Johnson has a quick release and a strong arm. He is arguably Indiana's top quarterback in the Class of 2029.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2249168"],"_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-6a58d27c117ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lawrence Central offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='2249168' first='Michael' last='Johnson'] III is a very talented prospect and rising senior who will be a key returning starter for the Bears this fall. The 6-foot-4, 290-pound right tackle can mirror rushers effectively, has a good lateral set and good first-step quickness. He has good use-of-hands with a great, physical initial punch. I love his foot speed and athletic ability. High-academic prospect who picked up his first offer from Franklin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1308724"],"_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-6a58d27c118a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1308724' first='Bryce' last='Tolliver'] out of Hobart gave Northern Illinois his verbal commitment in June, and the two-way prospect will be an invaluable asset for the Huskies. Tolliver is a strong and physical cover corner who can play press, jam at the LOS and be physical with receivers. He comes out of a backpedal smoothly and can make tackles v. the run. Good route runner on offense as a receiver who can create separation, and has juice after the catch. I saw him in-person at the Indiana camp last week and really like his athletic ability, high-impact on his high school team, and strength and speed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br><br><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
