Linebackers always seem hard for me to find. This year is no exception. One of the problems is that I turn linebackers into potential defensive linemen. Turn inside DB’s into linebackers. Finding true top LB’s always seems hard. Believe that last Saturday, I may have found two really good ones in the Ohio Class of 2019. Thomas Eichenberg from Cleveland St Ignatius …

Rodas Johnson OL/DL guy from Columbus DeSales plays both sides of the ball. Takes few breaks. Gives a solid effort. Playing against Winton Woods last Friday, I thought he did more than okay. Rodas attended my MSR Combine last year in Columbus. Put some good numbers. Ran 4.99/40 – Verticaled 25″ – Ran 4.68/ pro shuttle – BJ almost 8′ …

Enjoyed watching Hilliard Bradley football last night. They are definitely on a roll and playing well. First it was good seeing senior Kory Taylor lining up at wide receiver. Have always liked him, not only is he 6’5 and can run, but he is also tough. Catches the ball away from his body. Willing to block, and again, is tough. Suffered …

Cody Johnson is a big young junior who leads the way for the Columbus Grove High School football team. Playing both ways at times, but the offensive guard position may be his home. Right now, he has to lose more weight. Guessin 350.  But losing weight, is what jumps out at me. Cody came to the MSR Combine last March measuring …

First watched Dontay Hunter II coming out of his freshman year. Last year, he played for Columbus DeSales High School. This year, as a junior, he is the starting defensive end for Westerville Central. Guessin 6’4-230. He will need to get bigger/stronger/faster. Like his speed, but like every prospect, he always can be faster. Plays basketball, which helps with agility and …

Olentangy Orange’s Zach Harrison is simply a “freak” when it comes to natural talent and running ability. Guessin 6’5-235. He definitely passes the “eyeball” test. A solid defensive end, but he did get a couple of snaps at catching the ball. Not many chances, but he is best on the defensive side, coming off the edge. Does not have natural …

My plans were originally to make Wheelersburg HS my third choice when I made the 3 hours trip to Portsmouth last Friday. Plans were to see Wheelersburg in the playoffs. An player injury, changed my plans. Tanner Holden(2019) from Wheelersburg has the potential to be one of MSR’s top receivers in the Ohio 2019 Class. Long at 6’5-185 pounds, he …

I joked with Solon’s, Nate Leskovec, briefly before the game against Brunswick last Friday night about watching him as a freshman. He played some defensive end then as well, but at about 210. Now, as a junior, he is listed at 6’3-230. Regardless, he is a  physical player as a defensive end. Plays with emotion and, at times, he needs to play more under …

Sometimes to get a real feel for college football prospects, I watch them in other sports. I do more than watch a highlights video and watch them for a quarter. Actually, I do this more with underclassmen. All about building a relationship and looking for improvement. I have watched Toledo Whitmer’s Riley Keller throw the shot/discus and start varsity basketball …

Last fall, I missed seeing Trevor Bycznski play QB for Berea Midpark High School. Watching HUDL video did not show just how good he was. Watching him this past camp season was good. Good this past summer, but not as good as watching him last Friday. night against Amherst Steele. Berea Midpark lost something like 51-41, but Trevor can play …
