The critical part of the off season is upon us in Central Ohio. Every prospect hoping to play big time football will have to work hard this off season to get noticed. I will detail five rising Juniors who right now are under the radar in Central Ohio.
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Dublin Scioto</strong></span>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="284825" first="Griffin" last="King"]</strong> DE (2024) - Griffin is part of a good crop of 2024s for the Irish. He is big, fast and physical with good ball get off to lockout. He does a great job of rushing the passer and has some advanced moves. He goes hard every play and makes tackles equally well on ball too and ball away. Keep a good eye on him going forward.

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Bishop Watterson</strong></span>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="284814" first="Braxton" last="Rundio"]</strong>, RB (2024) - Braxton is an outstanding back for Watterson. He plays beyond his years. He is fast, athletic, twitchy and can score from any spot on the field. I am impressed with his ability to get vertical quickly and accelerate down the field. He is very good at making people miss. Can catch well out of the backfield. Rising star in the 2024 ranks.

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Granville</strong></span>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="284815" first="Sean" last="Sheehan"]</strong>, MLB (2024) - Sean is a force on the defensive side of the ball. He plays big and makes tough tackles look easy. Takes on blocks with his hands and gets to extension quickly. He does a great job of forcing the ball back inside or outside based on gap assignment. He is a good pass dropper who closes out routes fast.

<strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Central Crossing</span> </strong>
<strong>Aaron Jenkins</strong>, S (2024) - This sophomore made his presence known all season from the Safety position. He was really skilled for someone younger. He tackles well and reads plays well. He does a great job in coverage and stays on top of routes. Tough to beat him over the top all night. Look for him to improve with age.
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Hilliard Davidson</strong></span>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="284819" first="Caden" last="Wilson"]</strong> MLB (2024) - Caden is a very good sophomore defensive player. He moves really well inside the box and has good technique. He is a tough player with good tackling ability. He is already 6’1 and 205 so will grow these next two off seasons. He has a quick pass drop and closes on WR’s fast.
