Kash Mallory, LB, 2024 – Kash is very good and is being recruited at a high D1 level. He is super athletic with great quickness and flexibility. He reads plays well and maintains his gaps. He locks out quickly and escapes with speed. His tackling ability is way above average. He rushes the passer with good bend and a tenacious nature to get to the QB. He drops quickly into his passing zones and plays through the hands. I am excited to see where he ends up.
Israel Bradford, CB, 2024n – Israel is a stud who locks down one side of the field. He is twitchy, athletic, and extremely quick. He reads plays well and adjusts technique accordingly. He makes plays on the ball with good timing and through the hands. He is patient in his backpedal with great hip turn over the top. He T breaks quickly and closes. He battles for the ball in the air and attacks it. He is a great Zone/Man corner and equally performs both techniques well. He is gaining a lot of D1 interest here lately.
Jack Sammarco Jack Sammarco 6'6" | 230 lbs | TE Anderson | 2024 State OH , TE, 2024 – Jack is a beast at TE and has the size and strength to be a great Power 5 player. He has visits lined up to SEC, Big 10, and MAC schools. He stands 6’6 and weighs 230 pounds. He is chiseled in composition and twitchy in athleticism. He is an intelligent player and aligns in multiple areas. His blocking is aggressive. He can perform the drive and reach blocks with proper technique and finish. Runs all the routes on the route tree and gets open in the voids. He beats man with his size and stacks well in the secondary. He is deadly in the red zone. Going to be a Power 5 stud and potentially play on Sundays.
Kings High School
Kage Payne Kage Payne 6'3" | 280 lbs | OL Kings | 2025 State OH , OL, 2025 – Kage is a beast of a sophomore and just received his first D1 offer from Toledo. He stands 6’4 and weighs an athletic 280. He plays on the interior and mashes defensive lineman. His ability to drive block is above average with good feet, punch, lift, and finish. He reaches with proper targeting and foot placement. He runs through the outside number and is patient to the second level. He pulls with fire and sticks like glue to the LB’s. Pass blocking wise he has correct posture and foot positioning on the interior using an array of sets. He doesn’t give up ground and keeps the pocket clean. Kage does mission work and trains at a facility in the off season.
Patrick Holubetz, LB, 2025 – Patrick is a great football player and part of a great 2025 class for Kings. He stands 5’11 and weighs an athletic 2025. He started at MLB this season and excelled. He has a good stance, eye discipline, and reads plays correctly. He is patient inside the box and maintains his gaps. He works quickly over the top on ball away and makes sideline tackles. He runs his hips through the tackle with aggression. He cancels the underneath routes with speed and a ball hawk nature. Visited Toledo this past offseason and will garner lots of interest coming up.
