Continue ReadingColumbus St. Francis DeSales (4-1, 3-1 Central Catholic League Silver Division) had a bad taste in its mouth entering its Week 5 matchup with Columbus St. Charles (0-2, 0-2). The Stallions 35-34 double overtime loss to CCL Silver rival Columbus Bishop Watterson was the first setback of the season. Meanwhile, the Cardinals, who missed the first three weeks of the season, were looking to improve in their second game after a 49-10 home loss to Columbus Bishop Hartley.
DeSales had little issue with St. Charles in the 48-7 outcome. Here is who stood out for both teams offensively:
St. Charles
#22 Fred Nimely (Jr.) RB, 5’10, 180–One of the few offensive weapons on the Cardinal offense. Nimely does provide some wiggle when he does have some room to run. Although he lost a fumble on the play in the second quarter, he was able to show some grit when two and three Stallion defenders tried to bring him down behind the line of scrimmage.

#1 Isaiah Yarngo (Sr.) ATH, Height/Weight unavailable–Yarngo made the most out of a rough situation. Down by 27 late in the second quarter, a kickoff landed at his own 17 before drawing back to the 20 (roughly 5 yards in front of Yarngo like a wedge shot onto the green), and was a free ball. Not frazzled, he turned the opportunity into St. Charles’ best starting field position of the night at the DeSales 29.

DeSales
#28 Quintell Quin Quintell Quin 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Columbus St Francis | 2021 State OH n (Sr.) RB, 6’, 220–A load to bring to the ground once he starts going downhill. During his first of four touchdown runs in the game, he was able to use a coasting speed to beat the defender to the pylon and reach pay dirt. But as the first half progressed, Quinn–who is verbally committed to Ohio University–was able to show some burst for his fourth score.

#21 Jonathan Thompson (Jr.) RB, 6’1, 210–Thompson was able to rotate with Quinn and kept the run game going. Like Quinn, Thompson would not be brought down when defenders attempted arm tackles. Very elusive and shifty–especially between the tackles–but the east-west movement is limited. A few days prior to the game, MAC archrivals Akron and Kent State provided the junior his two Division I offers while Cincinnati and Miami (Ohio) are both showing considerable interest per Thompson’s Twitter feed. His performance against the Cardinals should certainly warrant more attention on the FBS level.

#32 Nasir Phillips (Fr.) RB, 5’6, 185–As if St. Charles didn’t have enough on its plate with the Stallions’ top two running backs, Phillips was thrown into the mix and was another fresh set of legs for the DeSales ground game. Giving up half a foot in terms of height to the two people ahead of him on the depth chart, Phillips has time to stretch out and add to his already stocky frame.

#6 Whit Hobgood (Jr.) QB, 6-3, 205–Hobgood stands in the pocket and spins the ball well downfield. In one second quarter play, he missed a receiver on a seam route, but high-pointed it to where only his guy would have the chance if he timed his jump better and flipped his hips. Hobgood threw an interception on the first play of the game that was returned for a touchdown, but that was a bad luck situation as it was a screen pass that was bobbled and landed in the defender’s hands.

#61 Billy Cain (Sr.) LG, 6’1, 250–The Stallion offensive line, which is at an average of 6’1 1/2″, 248 lbs., had their way with the Cardinal defensive front. Cain showed great agility, being asked to pull left on one play around his tackle, then pull right around the center on the ensuing play call.

#64 Joseph Schaefer (Jr.), RG, 6’5, 300–By far the largest of the DeSales starting offensive line, Schaefer handles confined space well. With his frame and being a junior, it wouldn’t be a surprise next year to see him at tackle exclusively.
