STORY BY ERIC FRANTZ

t's here. And it's bigger and better than ever - literally. The annual Ohio High Top 100 has officially been replaced by the Ohio High Top 200. We’ve doubled it for one simple reason…there’s enough talent in Ohio to warrant it. Last year, 170 Ohio seniors earned D-I scholarships. This year over 120 already have offers. It’s not a stretch to consider this one of Ohio’s deepest high school football seasons ever in regards to individual ability. And that talent is reflected in the Top 200 – our annual attempt to tab the state’s top college prospects. Just how deep is the Class of 2011 in Ohio? The first six members of our list – in their own right – could make an argument that they deserve to be No. 1. And all the arguments would be strong. Any other year, each would probably own the top spot. Besides that, the lists of colleges that are offering Ohio kids and the amount of offers their racking up are impressive. Obviously Midwest powers Ohio State, Penn State and Notre Dame have logged many miles on Ohio freeways. So too though have coaches from Florida, Alabama, Georgia, USC, UCLA, Nebraska, Arizona, Oregon, LSU, Boise State, Oklahoma,

Iowa, North Carolina, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin, Iowa, West Virginia, Stanford, Boston College, Colorado, California, Tennessee…you get the picture. Those schools – and several others – have offered Ohio kids. And what we’re offering here is a look at which players colleges are – and you should – look at this fall. This is a big-time football state. This is a big-time year. And this is a big-time list. And who heads it?...Centerville two-way lineman Michael Bennett. Bennett recently committed to Ohio State as a defensive line prospect and also had offers from Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma and Notre Dame. “That boy is a monster,” Springfield LB Trey DePriest said of Bennett. “He ate our line up and he was in my face a lot. He’s got it.” DePriest has it too. The senior is No. 6 on our list, despite having offers from Ohio State, Florida, Alabama, Notre Dame and Oklahoma - too. That’s how deep this senior class is. It’s one to remember. - OH

MICHAEL BENNETT, DL/OL, 6’3, 270, 4.8, CENTERVILLE

BRAXTON MILLER, QB, 6’2, 190, 4.5, HUBER HEIGHTS WAYNE

KENNY HAYES, DE, 6’5, 240, 4.7, TOLEDO WHITMER

DORAN GRANT, DB, 5’11, 175, 4.4, AKRON SVSM

STEVE MILLER, DE, 6’4, 240, 4.8, CANTON McKINLEY

Kurelic’s Take: Bennett was a starter at guard his sophomore season and tackle on both sides of the ball his junior season. Bennett runs well for his size and is very athletic. He has the ability to be a great player on either side of the ball at the next level, but would prefer to play defensive end. Bennett has a long list of scholarship offers that includes Ohio State, Oklahoma, Alabama, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Nebraska, Michigan, Northwestern, Cincinnati and West Virginia. However, in mid-April he narrowed things down to Ohio State and Northwestern before choosing the Buckeyes. Bennett has a 3.2 GPA.

Kurelic’s Take: Miller is one of the country’s premier quarterback prospects. He has been a varsity starter since his freshman year. Miller is a terrific athlete who puts great pressure on defenses with his ability to throw or run. Miller threw for over 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns during his junior season. He also rushed for over 700 yards and 18 TD’s. Miller has approximately three dozen scholarship offers. His list includes Ohio State, Florida, Alabama, USC, Michigan, Georgia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Miami, West Virginia and Cincinnati. Miller has a 3.1 GPA. Porter’s Take: Miller has great arm strength and he throws on

Kurelic’s Take: Hayes started a couple games his freshman year before becoming a full-time starter the next season. Hayes had a huge sophomore season as he made 144 tackles including eight sacks and 12 tackles for loss. Hayes is a terrific athlete in a big body. He averaged 15 points and eight rebounds per game in basketball his sophomore season and has run the 100 meter dash in 11.2 seconds in track. Hayes had early offers from Ohio State and Illinois before committing to the Buckeyes on Aug. 31 of 2009. Hayes has a 3.3 GPA. Porter’s Take: In most years, Hayes would be the No. 1 player in Ohio. He fits the prototype for an NFL defensive end or maybe Kurelic’s Take: Grant is a super cover cornerback prospect who can lock down opposing receivers. Grant has tremendous speed and quickness. He plays boundry cornerback, wide receiver and returns punts and kickoffs. Grant intercepted three passes his sophomore season and a couple more his junior season. Grant’s father Ted Jones was an All-Big Ten wide receiver at Michigan State. Grant has over two dozen scholarship offers. Ohio State is No. 1 on his list followed by Michigan State, Michigan, USC and Illinois. Grant has a 3.1 GPA.

Kurelic’s Take: Miller made 116 tackles including six sacks and eight tackles for loss during his sophomore season. He had another 100 plus tackle season as a junior. Miller bench presses 300 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds. He had scholarship offers from Ohio State, Florida, Michigan State, Purdue, UCLA, West Virginia, Stanford and a few others before he committed to the Buckeyes on Oct. 29, 2009. Miller has a 3.4 GPA. Porter’s Take: Miller from Canton McKinley is built to play the Leo position in the OSU defense. He will be the backside defen-

Porter’s Take: Bennett has a great ‘get off’ at the snap of the ball. He has exceptional explosion for a prospect of his size and he has a nasty attitude. He is a finisher and extremely aggressive. He just dominates high school competition on just about every snap of the ball. I know A.J. Hawk came from Centerville and he went on and was an All-American at Ohio State and he’s in the NFL now. But I think Bennett has a chance to be one of the best – if not the best – players to come out of Centerville. Head coach Ron Ullery said Bennett’s the most recruited player the program has ever had. the run very well. He scrambles and still looks to beat you with his arm. He uses his teammates well. He has running back abilities in a quarterback. I would say he compares to former West Virginia quarterback Pat White or even to a Michael Vick. His ability to run a complex offense and his semi-polished throwing motion push him way ahead of the quarterback curve. When he gets on a college campus, he should progress up the depth chart pretty fast because of his development already.

even a defensive tackle depending on how he grows. His size-tospeed ratio is incredible. Hayes is a ‘track guy,’ which is something you don't usually hear when talking about the defensive line. On the film, the things you will like about Hays is his great ‘get off’ and pursuit of the ball carriers down the field. Hayes’ pass rush abilities are second to none. He actually has pretty good technique for a junior in high school. I think Hayes has the talent to play the ‘Leo’ position in Ohio State’s defense. But I also think he can play anywhere along the line if needed. I have a feeling that if Hayes ever got to 280-290 pounds, he would remind people of Cam Heyward as a DT.

Porter’s Take: Grant made his name freshman year as a state qualifier in track and since then he has never had to look back. He has been known as a "speed guy" by most, but Grant’s skills on the field are catching up with his immense talent. Grant has the size and speed to be an elite cover corner in college football. Doran is being recruited as a speed guy and will not disappoint coaches when he gets on campus next fall. During one-on-one drills at the OSU camp, he stood out covering some of the best wide receivers in the state.

sive end that can rush the passer or occasionally drop into coverage on zone blitzes. Here are some of the things that stand out about Miller on film: He uses his hands well; he uses his long arms; he plays off blocks to get to the ball carrier; he pursues to the ball and chases from the backside; he is a hitter; he will strike you and he blows up blockers; and he plays hard and is disruptive. Of course, McKinley is the same school that sent the likes of Jamar Martin, Kenny Peterson and Mike Doss to OSU about a decade ago.

TREY DePRIEST, LB, 6’1, 215, 4.5, SPRINGFIELD

AUNDREY WALKER, OL, 6’6, 330, 5.2, CLEVELAND GLENVILLE

RON TANNER, DB, 6’1, 190, 4.5, COLUMBUS EASTMOOR

CARDALE JONES, QB, 6’5, 215, 4.5, CLEVELAND GLENVILLE

Kurelic’s Take: DePriest has been a varsity starter in football, basketball and baseball since his freshman year. He played outside linebacker that season and linebacker, running back and quarterback the past two seasons. DePriest is a bigtime hitter with good range. He combines good strength with excellent speed. DePriest has dozens of scholarship offers. His list includes Ohio State, Alabama, Florida, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Michigan, Virginia Tech and Notre Dame. DePriest has a 3.3 GPA. Porter’s Take: I have seen DePriest at a combine, during a game, and on film. Never have I come away disappointed.

Kurelic’s Take: Walker is a massive offensive lineman with tremendous potential. He played defensive tackle his sophomore season, and then moved to offensive right guard last season. Walker will play on offense in college. He is very strong, has good feet and runs well. Walker has scholarship offers from Ohio State, Michigan State, Penn State, USC, Notre Dame, Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia and some others. Walker says the Buckeyes and Spartans are tied at the top of his list. Walker has close to a 3.0 GPA. Porter’s Take: He is the most massive prospect I have seen in

Kurelic’s Take: Tanner is a left-handed quarterback and safety for the Warriors. He threw for over 1,200 yards during his junior season, but is being recruited as a safety where he made close to 90 tackles and intercepted seven passes. Tanner has approximately 20 scholarship offers including Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, West Virginia, Northwestern, Minnesota, Pitt, Purdue, Illinois, Boston College, Arizona and Stanford. Tanner has a 3.7 GPA. Porter’s Take: Tanner is an elite prospect on and off the field. He is a very smart safety who can support the run and be an Kurelic’s Take: Jones has the size and athletic ability recruiters look for. He also has a good arm and is produc-

tive. Jones led Glenville to the Division I state championship game last season and a final record of 13-2. He threw for over 2,000 yards included 1,000 yards in five playoff games. Jones also had close to 500 rushing yards in 15 games He threw for 19 scores and had nine touchdowns rushing Jones has scholarship offers from Iowa, West Virginia, Michigan, Illinois, Michigan State, Cincinnati and a couple MAC schools. Jones has a 3.5 GPA.

He just looks like a middle linebacker when you see him in person. He has a very thick build with big shoulders to dish out a beating. As I watched the film, here are some of the comments I came up with: He has great agility; he shows great burst; he has closing speed; he squares up shoulders and strikes ball carriers; he is a great blitzer off the edge and up the middle; he fights through blocks and runs through trash to get to the ball. He is a superior athlete for his size – he shows this at tailback. He has a great change of direction and plays light on his feet. He blows up blockers. Trying to sum all of this up, there is only one phrase I can think of to describe DePriest – War Daddy. the last four years. One college coach told me he looks like he already plays for the Cleveland Browns. Keep an eye on his weight because he weighed in at 360 at the combine and San Antonio, Texas. Blows defenders off the ball and creates big time movement.

asset in coverage. He shows ball skills and an ability to make plays. Showed great man to man and coverage skills at Nike camp in Columbus this spring.

Porter’s Take: Jones played just about a perfect game as a 16-year-old in the Division I state championship game. If not for a few dropped balls near the end of the game, Glenville should have sealed their title. He has an obvious elite skill set for a quarterback when it comes to height and speed. Showed great upside at the Nike Elite 11 QB camp in Columbus Ohio this May.

NICK VANNETT, TE, 6’6, 230, 4.75, WESTERVILLE CENTRAL

Kurelic’s Take: Vannett, despite playing in a run-oriented offense, caught approximately 20 passes with two touchdowns during his junior season. He is a talented athlete who also excels on the Central basketball team. Vannett has close to two dozen scholarship offers. His list includes Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Pitt. Those are Vannett’s top choices along with Oregon. Vannett has a 3.4 GPA. Porter’s Take: Huge target as a receiver and presents a coverage mis-match for college defenses. Can run well enough to get

down the seam and make plays in the passing game. His size also helps him dominate in the run game. Will get stronger blocking as he adds weight over the next few years.

11-35

11. EILAR HARDY**, DB, 6’0, 175, 4.5, PICKERINGTON CENTRAL Kurelic’s Take: Hardy has been a starter since the beginning of his sophomore season and has played both safety and cornerback. Hardy 85 tackles and intercepted three passes his first season and had 75 tackles and three more interceptions last season. He has close to two dozen scholarship offers, but says he is mostly focusing on Michigan State, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Cincinnati, Kentucky, West Virginia, Arizona, Colorado and Boston College. Hardy has a 3.0 GPA. Porter’s Take: Hardy is an ultra smooth athlete with long arms. He flashes great speed. He could play corner or safety if needed. One of the top DB’s at the Nik Combine in Columbus in May.

12. CHASE FARRIS**, DE/DL, 6’6, 265, 5.0, ELYRIA Kurelic’s Take: Farris was a starter at defensive tackle his sophomore season. He moved to defensive end and also started at offensive right tackle his junior season. Farris made close to 50 tackles including 20 for loss and 7.5 sacks last season. He had scholarship offers from Ohio State, Michigan State, West Virginia, Notre Dame, Illinois, Indiana, Cincinnati, Louisville and a few others before committing to the Buckeyes in March. Farris has a 3.9 GPA. Porter’s Take: Farris has so much athletic ability its hard to predict where he will play in college. With a long frame and room to grow he has so much upside as he transitions to college. Right now he has the athletic ability to play DE or LT in college but if he gets bigger DT is not out of the question. He destroys his high school competition on film.

13. GREG BROWN**, DB, 5’10, 185, 4.45, FREMONT ROSS Kurelic’s Take: Brown is a two-year starter at cornerback and also started at wide receiver during his junior season. He has good coverage skills and reacts quickly once the ball is in the air. Brown picked off five passes last season. He had scholarship offers from Michigan, Michigan State and Central Michigan before committing to the Wolverines on Sept. 2. Brown has a 3.6 GPA. Porter’s Take: Each time I went to see Fremont Ross play this past season Greg Brown made plays. Whether is was blowing up a WR on defense or making a play with the ball in his hands on offense I was never let down. Good size for a corner, shows great toughness and tackling ability at these early stages of development.

14. RAY HAMILTON**, TE, 6’5, 225, 4.75, STRONGSVILLE Kurelic’s Take: Hamilton is one of two top tight end prospects in the Buckeye State. Hamilton caught 22 passes, averaged 16.7 yards per catch and scored five times during his sophomore season. He caught another 20 passes for 300 yards and a touchdown despite playing in just six games last season due to undergoing surgery for torn meniscus in his right knee. Hamilton has two dozen scholarship offers including Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Cal, Stanford, and Pitt. Hamilton says those are some of his top choices along with Ohio State, Michigan State and Alabama. Porter’s Take: Might be the best blocking TE in the class because he gets off the ball quick and runs his feet on contact. Shows WR like ball skills in the passing game and even flexes out at WR presenting a mis-match for the defense. Has frame to add weight if needed down the road.

15. ROGER WILLIAMSON**, WR, 6’2, 180, 4.5, DAYTON DUNBAR Kurelic’s Take: Williamson is the complete wide receiver prospect. He has pretty good size and speed, runs well and above average strength for a wide receiver. Williamson, bench presses over 225 pounds and has a 33-inch vertical jump. He has scholarship offers from Michigan State, Minnesota, Stanford, Maryland, Boston College, Syracuse, Indiana, North Carolina State and a number of MAC schools. He has a 3.4 GPA. Porter’s Take: Super smooth athlete who makes his job look easy. Will be recruited on both sides of the ball as one of the best pure athletes in the state of Ohio. Did not get a lot of snaps at WR during his junior year but that does not stop some from thinking he is the best WR in the class of 2011. Also one of the best DB prospects also.

16. JARRETT GRACE**, LB, 6’4, 235, 4.6, COLERAIN Kurelic’s Take: Grace has been Colerain’s starting middle linebacker since the beginning of his sophomore season. He made close to 100 tackles each season. Grace has the size to play either middle or outside linebacker in college, or even grow into a rush defensive end type guy. Grace had over a dozen scholarship offers including Notre Dame, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Northwestern, Kentucky, Stanford, Colorado, Syracuse, Indiana and a few others before he committed to the Fighting Irish at the Notre Dame spring game. Grace has a 4.0 GPA. Porter’s Take: Plays LB with a nasty streak and will hit ball carriers like a ton of bricks. Easily the biggest LB in the state of Ohio which makes some think he will be a DE in college. Has very good ability for a big man and has a high ceiling for growth potential. Reminds some of former Buckeye LB Andy Katzenmoyer. 17. SHAQ WASHINGTON**, WR, 5’9, 165, 4.47, MAPLE HEIGHTS Kurelic’s Take: Washington is not real big, but he is very fast and talented. Washington had a great junior season playing quarterback as he led Maple Heights to the state championship game and a final record of 12-3. He passed for 2,510 yards and 28 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. Washington also rushed for 1,784 yards and 21 touchdowns. However, Washington is being recruited as a wide receiver. He has scholarship offers from Illinois, Boston College, Cincinnati, Duke, Air Force, Iowa State and a host of MAC schools. Washington has a 3.8 GPA. Porter’s Take: Washington has one of the best highlight films in Ohio this year. Using his crazy agility and ability to cut on a dime he leaves defender after defender in the dust. College coaches hope these skills translate to the next level as a WR or return man and the big plays will come with it. With a kid like this the expression goes, “he would be hard to tackle in a phone booth.”

18. DERJUAN GAMBRELL**, DB, 6’2, 180, 4.5, TOLEDO ROGERS Kurelic’s Take: Gambrell has a nice combination of size and speed. Because of his speed and coverage ability Gambrell was recruited as a cornerback even though he has been a starter at safety since the beginning of his sophomore season. Gambrell made over 60 tackles and intercepted two passes as Rogers finished with a 9-2 record last season. Gambrell’s first offer came from Ohio State. He always wanted to play for the Buckeyes so the recruiting process did not last long as Gambrell committed to OSU in mid-March. Gambrell has a 2.6 GPA.

JJ Hu ddle’ s O h io Hi gh

Ohio High Top 200 Porter’s Take: There is a huge demand for safeties that can cover man to man in the passing game these days, spread offenses have changed defensive personal greatly over the last decade. Gambrell has the body of a safety and the speed and ball skills of a corner. Don’t know where he will play in the secondary at the next level but that’s a good problem.

21. BRAD CARRICO**, DL, 6’6, 270, 4.85, DUBLIN COFFMAN Kurelic’s Take: Carrico is a strong and tough force in the middle of the Shamrocks defensive line. He made 74 tackles including eight sacks during his junior season. Carrico had eight other tackles for loss and tipped five passes as Coffman finished with a 12-1 record. Carrico had scholarship offers from Notre Dame, Kentucky, Indiana, Purdue, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Illinois and a couple others before he committed to the Fighting Irish in March. Carrico has a 3.2 GPA. Porter’s Take: Carrico played DE in 2009 but his frame is dictating that he will play OL in college. Has the perfect blend of long arms and great feet to protect the passer in college. If he dedicates himself to playing OL might have the stuff NFL teams look for down the road.

22. CHRIS CARTER JR.*, OL, 6’5, 340, 5.4, CLE. JOHN KENNEDY Kurelic’s Take: Carter Jr., is a massive and powerful young man who can dominate at times. He started at offensive tackle his sophomore season and offensive tackle the first half and offensive guard the second half of his junior season. Carter, who will need to keep his weight down, has plenty of potential. He had scholarship offers from Ohio State, North Carolina State and several MAC schools before committing to the Buckeyes on March 15. Carter has a 2.8 GPA. Porter’s Take: One of the most powerful lineman in the class of 2011. Built like an NFL OL with a low center of gravity and great

20. CHRIS ROCK**, DE, 6’5, 255, 4.8, COLUMBUS DeSALES Kurelic’s Take: Rock has been a varsity starter since the beginning of his sophomore season. He made 64 tackles including 15 sacks that season. Rock plays defensive end for the Stallions. He could play that position or defensive tackle in college. Rock has scholarship offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern, Purdue, West Virginia, Pitt, Indiana, Cincinnati, Boston College, Nebraska, Virginia and a few others. Rock has a 3.5 GPA. Porter’s Take: Seems like colleges recruit Ohio just to get big athletes like Rock. Will overpower offensive lineman with his size and strength and can also beat the tackle off the edge with his quickness and speed. May outgrow DE in college but right now is one of the best DE’s in Ohio.

19. ANDRE STURDIVANT*, LB, 6’3, 225, 4.6, GLENVILLE Kurelic’s Take: Sturdivant made 90 tackles including 11 sacks during his junior season. He played defensive end and inside linebacker, but will probably play outside linebacker in college. Sturdivant has scholarship offers from Michigan State, Illinois, Indiana, Pitt, Toledo, Bowling Green, Ball State and a couple others. He says the Buckeyes have indicated they will likely make an official offer. Sturdivant has close to a 2.8 GPA. Porter’s Take: Sturdivant was a playmaker for the Tarblooders defense in 2009. After missing the first few weeks of the season due to an illness once he regained his form Glenville found a spot for him immediately on the defense although it was already one of the best units in Ohio with out him. Sturdivant has played MLB, OLB, and DE and shows college potential at all 3 spots. He can be unblockable when his motor is running full speed.

Ohio High Top 200 base. Carter destroys high school competition and will need to develop the finer points of OL play in college.

23. DEVIN SMITH*, WR, 6’2, 170, 4.52, MASSILLON WASHINGTON Kurelic’s Take: Smith was a varsity starter for Akron Ellett his sophomore season before transferring to Washington for his junior year. Smith had a big year for the Tigers catching over 50 passes for 989 yards and 15 touchdowns. Smith has scholarship offers from Michigan, Michigan State, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Indiana, a number of MAC schools and some others. Smith has close to a 3.0 GPA. Porter’s Take: Reminds some of Ohio State’s WR Devier Posey as a WR. Big framed target with good speed who can tear apart a defense. Canton McKinley double covered Smith on every play this season which speaks volumes to his talent. 24. TOMMY BROWN*, OL, 6’5, 300, 5.3, AKRON FIRESTONE Kurelic’s Take: Brown has been a varsity starter at offensive right tackle and defensive end since his sophomore season. He passes the ‘look’ test and is also very productive. Brown, who has pretty good feet, moves defenders off the line. He had offers from Akron and Ohio University before visiting Ohio State in early April, landing an offer from the Buckeyes and committing. Brown has a 3.3 GPA. Porter’s Take: At 6-5, 330 Brown is hard to miss on the football field and recruiters did not miss him this winter during recruiting. Built with massive arms, legs and torso Brown is the perfect recipe for a Big 10 offensive lineman. Brown is well suited to drive defenders off the ball and create massive running lanes for the running back. Watching his high school tape he bulldozes his competition on play after play.

25. DONAVON CLARK*, OL, 6’4, 290, 5.2, FINNEYTOWN. Kurelic’s Take: Clark started every game at right tackle as well as on the defensive line during his sophomore season. He played the same positions his junior season and is being recruited as an offensive lineman. Clark moves well for a big guy and is tough to beat in pass protection. He has scholarship offers from USC, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Indiana, Minnesota, Louisville, North Carolina State and a few others. Clark’s GPA is near the 2.5 mark. Porter’s Take: Each time I see Donavon Clark he gets bigger. At 64 and still growing he has as much upside as any OL in the class. Many college coaches think he can develop into an NFL OL down the road and will be fighting to land him on campus.

26. JESSE HAYES**, DE, 6’4, 230, 4.7, CINCINNATI MOELLER Kurelic’s Take: Hayes is the top prospect this year at one of the top prep football programs in the state of Ohio. He made 50 plus tackles including six sacks during his junior season. Hayes is versatile with the ability to stuff the run and rush the passer. Hayes has over a dozen scholarship offers including Florida State, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Tennessee, Indiana, Kentucky, Arizona, Nebraska and North Carolina State. Porter’s Take: There are times when breaking down film Hayes is unblockable. He just seems to be around the ball on every play whether is across the field or coming right at him. Hayes has the skill set of an OLB which translates to and ultra quick DE coming off the edge in high school. This makes for a very disruptive combination for opposing offenses. 27. ANTONIO UNDERWOOD*, OL, 6’3, 300, 5.2, SHAKER HEIGHTS Kurelic’s Take: Underwood played some guard and some offen-

sive tackle his sophomore season. He played tackle his junior season, but is expected to play guard in college. Underwood had scholarship offers from Toledo, Akron, Kent State and Miami of Ohio before landing one from Ohio State in mid-March and quickly committing to Bucks. Underwood has a 2.3 GPA. Porter’s Take: Underwood caught my eye early in 2009 when Shaker Heights played Solon High School and he faced Ohio State DE verbal Darryl Baldwin. Underwood used that performance to catapult himself into the recruiting spotlight. 28. STEVEN DANIELS*, LB, 6’1, 230, 4.75, ST. XAVIER Kurelic’s Take: Daniels played outside linebacker his sophomore season and a combination of linebacker and safety his junior season. Daniels made 82 tackles including 14 sacks last season with 14 tackles for loss. Daniels has scholarship offers from West Virginia, Cincinnati, Indiana, North Carolina State, Louisville, Boston College and a few others. Daniels has a 2.5 GPA. Porter’s Take: Thick framed MLB who can play inside or outside LB if needed. Has the ability to strike a ball carrier and stop him dead in his tracks. Very strong at the point of attack and show ability to run across the field and make plays.

29. KEVIN WILLIAMS**, DL, 6’1, 270, 4.9, HOLLAND SPRINGFIELD Kurelic’s Take: Williams is a very active and productive defensive lineman who was a starter at Toledo Central Catholic his sophomore season before transferring to Springfield for his junior season. He made 157 tackles including 15 sacks and 30 for loss. Williams had scholarship offers from Nebraska, Michigan State, Michigan, Illinois, Stanford, Syracuse and a host of MAC schools before he committed to the Cornhuskers in mid-April. Williams has a 3.2 GPA. Porter’s Take: Has the athletic ability to play TE in high school but will be headed to DT in college. Possesses very quick feet for a player of his size. Has the ability to beat the opponent at the snap of the ball with his great quickness. Williams will be very disruptive in college. 30. A.J. JORDAN**, WR, 6’1, 170, 4.45, TROTWOOD-MADISON Kurelic’s Take: Jordan is a talented athlete who possesses good speed and has good hands. He caught 30 passes and scored six times during his junior season. Jordan has approximately 20 scholarship offers. His list includes Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois, Pitt, North Carolina, West Virginia, Lousville, Missouri, Cincinnati and a host of MAC schools. Jordan has a 3.4 GPA. Porter’s Take: Jordan has some of the best ball skills in Ohio meaning when the ball is up in the air, Jordan usually comes down with it. He can get vertical on a defense with ease and has great change of direction skills which help him create separation verses defenders.

31. SEAN DUGGAN*, LB, 6’4, 215, 4.7, ST. XAVIER Kurelic’s Take: Duggan is one of the fastest rising prospects in the state of Ohio. He played the first three games of his junior season at outside linebacker before moving inside for the rest of the season. Duggan made 31 tackles including three sacks, and intercepted two passes. Duggan has close to a dozen scholarship offers. His list includes Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Boston College, West Virginia, Duke and a number of MAC schools. Duggan says Boston College is his early leader. He has a 3.5 GPA. Porter’s Take: Great size for a LB in high school and can play

JJ Hu ddle’ s O h io Hi gh

Ohio High Top 200 MLB or OLB. Shows coverage skills and the ability to track a ball carrier from across the field and run him down. Just scratching the surface of his potential as a great all around defender.

Devin Smith Massillon

32. AUSTIN TRAYLOR*, DE/TE, 6’4, 210, 4.68, WALNUT RIDGE Kurelic’s Take: Traylor had a very good junior season on both sides of the ball. He made 80 tackles including 14 sacks while also catching 20 passes for 389 yards and five touchdowns. Traylor has scholarship offers from Michigan State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Boston College, West Virginia, Cincinnati and a host of MAC schools. Traylor has a 3.1 GPA and scored a 19 on the ACT. Porter’s Take: Play DE for Walnut Ridge but should move to Sam LB in college. Has super athletic skills that make him “Special” for his size. Has great change of direction and will chase a ball carrier relentlessly. Shows a great range to make plays on defense.

35. BRIAN MIHALIK*, DE, 6’6, 225, 4.7, AVON LAKE Kurelic’s Take: Mihalik made close to 40 tackles including five sacks as Avon Lake made it to the Division I state playoffs and finished with an 8-3 record. Mihalik is a rangy prospect who has the potential to be a very good one at the next level. He has scholarship offers from West Virginia, Indiana, Stanford, Duke, Louisville, Arizona and a number of MAC schools. Mihalik has a 3.7 GPA. Porter’s Take: Mihalik is all about “upside”. At 6’6” he may have the longest wingspan of any player in the top 100. College coaches are betting Mihalik can add weight to his massive frame become a freakish defender down the road. You can see his athletic ability on film right now, just needs to add muscle and weight to be dominate.

34. CHASE HOUNSHELL*, DL, 6’5, 250, 4.8, MENTOR LAKE CATH. Kurelic’s Take: Hounshell was a starter at offensive tackle his sophomore season and offensive and defensive tackle as a junior. He made 65 tackles, had six sacks and 18 tackles for loss. Hounshell is being recruited as a defensive tackle or end. He has scholarship offers from Michigan State, Illinois, ,Central Florida, Vanderbilt, Akron and a few others. Hounshell has a 3.4 GPA. Porter’s Take: Long arms are an extremely valuable asset for college Tackles because you can get your arms on defenders before they can reach you. Hounshell not only has long arms but also has a huge frame with the ability to add weight and remain athletic. Has a chance to really excel in pass protection with his advanced skill set.

33. RYAN KELLY*, OL, 6’5, 260, 5.0, W. CHESTER LAKOTA WEST Kurelic’s Take: Kelly was a starter at guard his sophomore year. He played center and offensive tackle during his junior season. Kelly is projected to play center in college. He is a big guy who moves very well for his size. Kelly has several impressive scholarship offers including Florida, Alabama, Florida State, Arizona, Kentucky, Louisville, Indiana, Boston College, Cincinnati, Illinois and North Carolina State. Kelly has a 2.6 GPA and he scored a 20 on the ACT. Porter’s Take: Ryan Kelly has exactly the frame and growth potential that college coaches are looking for at big time programs. He has a flat belly on a big frame with room to grow and also has very quick feet. These traits will serve him well if he move to tackle in college and has to protect the QB's blind side. College tackles are often asked to block the best pass rusher a team has to offer week in and week out and Kelly shows the potential to handle his duty.
