Expert Analysis
Bryan Ault | Prep Redzone Scout
Combined with Thacker up front, Ranes has been a key cog on New Palestine’s defense. His strength v. the run is undeniable – he’s a good open-field tackler and has outstanding instincts. He has good size and bulk, and has a high motor as a pass rusher.

Ranes is one of the under-the-radar linebackers in the junior class in Indiana. He has above-average size and strength, takes good angles to the football, wraps up and displays excellent instincts on defense. He’s a strong downhill tackler and fundamentally sound. On offense he aligns at tight end, where he is quick to release downfield and registered a touchdown v. Mount Vernon.

Read EvaluationSam Erman | Prep Redzone Scout
Exploding onto the scene and immediately becoming a key piece of their defense, Ranes is a LB who isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. He’s relentless, strong, and has a high motor. He’ll run the ball carrier down from behind and has no issue being a plug and play player wherever they need the help. He’s well built, especially for his age, and has prototypical size and length. I’m excited to see what Ranes does over the next few years because he’s got a chance to lead this class.
