College coaches are keenly aware of where the top junior talent exists, and Piqua high school is a school that is loaded with D-I talent this year. They look to have at least a handful of prospects ink National Letter of Intent come signing day.
Bryant Fox, a 6-foot-1, 190 pound, safety from Piqua, Ohio is a prospect who is receiving some early recruiting attention.
“My number one school is undoubtedly Ohio State. I have always been a huge fan of the Buckeyes,” Fox reported. “I am also receiving letters from all of the Ivy League schools, Pittsburgh, Stanford, Iowa, Toledo, Wisconsin, Miami (OH), Penn State, Illinois, Tennessee, Duke, Georgia Tech and Ball State.”
"I have a cousin who goes to Bowling Green, so I am also very interested in them. I have not received too much attention from them yet, but they are definitely a school that I would like to hear a little more from."
Fox has already been extended some academic scholarships, so academics will be playing a major role in his decision making process.
“Academics will be the main thing that I look at when I pick a school. I received a partial academic scholarship to attend Ohio State in the eighth grade. I placed first in an event called Metric Estimation at the Nationals of the Science Olympiad that was held in Columbus.”
“Ohio State has come a far way academically over the past few years, so with the scholarship they will always be an option for me,” Fox explained. “I will most likely major in engineering with a minor in biomedical engineering.”
Fox plans to help his recruitment along by attending some camps and combines this spring.
“I will be going to Toledo’s developmental clinic on April, 1st. I am also trying to get signed up for the Scout.com combine in Louisville (5/20).”
As a junior, Fox racked up over 50 tackles and 5 interceptions against tough competition.
“It is hard to put up huge numbers at Piqua, because you have guys like Pete Rolf and Jafe Pitcock putting up huge numbers up front.”
“It is a benefit to be able to practice with and against teammates who are so good. I also believe that playing in one of the strongest conferences (Greater Western Athletic Conference) in the state will help to prepare me for the next level,” Fox said.
Fox maintains a 4.0 GPA and became a full college qualifier, as a sophomore, when he scored a 29 on the ACT.
“I feel confident that I can make a much better score now, so I am planning on retaking the test this spring.”
