Jaquez Keyes – RB – 2023 – Ironton
Jaquez is a very powerful running back that seems to enjoy running defenders over, which leads me to believe that he is an FBS Linebacker. Keyes had 94 Carries for 1074 yds and 11 TDs on the season for Ironton in 2021, and with limited snaps on defense, he had 2.5 sacks and 35 tackles. Keyes put up 20 reps of 225lbs on the bench press in the weight room. College coaches are interested in him playing defense, and he is all in on that idea. Expect to see him play more LB in fall 2022.
Shawn Thigpen Shawn Thigpen 6'4" | 180 lbs | WR Springfield | 2023 State OH – WR – 2023 – Springfield
Shawn Thigpen Shawn Thigpen 6'4" | 180 lbs | WR Springfield | 2023 State OH is one of the top wide receivers in the midwest and in Ohio. Thigpen has a good skill set to help him elevate at his position; being able to make “hands” catches extended from his body shows his hand strength and concentration. He has made acrobatic catches down the field and caught the ball underneath on a route in traffic several times throughout the season. Shawn holds several D1 offers and will pick up more this offseason.
Adam Hrynciw Adam Hrynciw 6'3" | 175 lbs | WR Fremont Ross | 2023 OH – WR – 2023 – Fremont Ross
Adam was a darkhorse to many sports pundits before the season started because of the loaded WR room at Fremont Ross. The three-sport athlete has big goals in every sport he plays, but football is where I think he excels the most. Scoring ten touchdowns with over 600 receiving yards, Adam put teams on notice as he ate up some of the best defensive units all season long. I mentioned the packed WR room, and this spread attack created mismatches because most teams lack the depth to cover four number 1 wideouts. Hrynciw averaged 17 yards per catch on 38 touches and scored a game-winner on a two-point conversion. Adam is currently developing his footwork and speed, which will gain him notice from Division one colleges.
Duryea Hall – ATH – 2023 – Central Catholic
Hall is a very long athlete who stands at 6’3 and weighs 180 pounds. His strengths include great hands and instincts near the ball, on offense, and defense. With Duryea having a wide wingspan, he could become a lockdown at the corner position filling the void of All-State cornerback Peyton Reasonover for the Irish. Now on offense, he has the potential to have a breakout season with QB Tywaun Clark Tywaun Clark 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Toledo Central Catholic | 2023 State OH looking to find new targets with the departure of the Lee twins. Duryea has a chance to make 2022 a memorable season as he has gotten a jump on the offseason.
