La Salle's Martin, Colerain's Clifford top prospects
BY TOM GROESCHEN | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
<!--ARTICLE BODY TEXT--> Ben Martin (La Salle) and Eugene Clifford (Colerain) will be the two best senior football players in Ohio this fall, based on early recruiting ratings. La Salle defensive end Martin and Colerain safety Clifford are the state's Nos. 1-2 ranked seniors-to-be by Duane Long of Ohio High magazine.
Max Emfinger, a Louisiana-based national recruiting analyst, has Clifford No. 1 and Martin No. 2 in his Ohio ratings.
Scout.com lists Martin as the only Cincinnati player in its national Top 100 for this fall.

Regardless, you get the idea that some special players are in our midst.
Martin, 6 feet 5 and 225 pounds, reportedly already has offers from Ohio State and Notre Dame. Florida, Michigan and West Virginia also are on his list.
"This is the best defensive end prospect I have ever seen in Ohio," Long writes of Martin in the May issue of Ohio High magazine.
Martin last season had 13 sacks and 10 tackles for loss in helping lead La Salle to an 8-2 record.
"I don't think we have ever seen an Ohio defensive end rated the No. 1 defensive end in the country, but Martin could be," Long writes.
Regarding Clifford, Long compares him to former Hamilton star safety Adam Myers-White (now at the University of Tennessee). Before that, Long compared Myers-White to former NFL player Kenny Easley.
"I wish I had saved that analogy, because this is what I see with Clifford," Long says.
Clifford (6-2, 190 pounds) is also, like Martin, a good basketball player. Both players can run and jump and have the long, strong physiques coaches love. Clifford also is a threat at wide
receiver and as a punt returner.
Other top returning seniors include Lakota West DE Solomon Thomas, Fairfield LB Dewey Elliott, Winton Woods RB Hosea Simpson, La Salle LB Vince Harris, Middletown QB Skylar Jones and several players from Withrow, including WR Derrick Sherman.

All right, all right, all right.
Rob Rose was the #1 rated DE by Rivals, Scout had him as the 4th I believe.

Interesting article comparing/contrasting Notre Dame verbal DE Justin Trattou and Ben Martin.

I can compare them like this- Trattou will turn into a good DT and Martin is the best defensive end in the country.

Martin is ranked the #1 DE in the country by NFLDraftBlitz...I find it funny that they have him #1 but Wilson all the way down at #10. I think Griffen is too low at #5 as well. I do like the comparison of Martin to Jason Taylor.
