I wanted to try and wrap things up with another skill player in this PrepRedzone Midwest special, and where else would we go to find a 6’7, 230 lb. sophomore than Ohio? Representing Minster High School on both the gridiron and hardwood, 2026 Tall Boy Cole Albers is quite the multi-sport athlete and a heckuva combination of youth, size, and athleticism coming out of one of the most fertile recruiting grounds in America. You have to be the cream of the crop to earn FBS offers as an underclassman, much more so as a freshman, and Albers was already reeling in FBS offers before his sophomore year of high school got underway. Ball State became offer #1 in May of 2023, Miami of Ohio followed a couple of months later in July after a visit to Oxford, and Toledo became his newest offer at the end of January 2024. Plus, Michigan State, Marshall, Bowling Green State (basketball), and Miami (OH) all got unofficial visits in between that time.

The basketball background lends itself well to his gridiron prowess, where the XL TE displays good hands and body/field awareness and is a big-time red zone threat that can easily win 50/50 balls while looking athletic as he high-points the football over a helpless DB. In a day and age where prep TEs more regularly act as jumbo WRs, Albers is a throwback, balanced, traditional in-line TE who loves and excels in the run-blocking part of the position. The 6’7, 230 lber. is lean and owns eye-catching length, and he uses it as a hard-nosed, motivated blocker who can dominate 1-on-1 situations and is consistently technically sound, especially with his hand placement and pad level. That doesn’t mean he can’t contribute to the passing game though, as Albers is capable of flexing out as a WR, where he can break off his routes well for a big target and shows soft hands that can catch the ball away from his body. Lot of runway left in this recruitment and development, but the way Albers is overall trending, he’s got a lot to look forward to.
