Ursuline?s six-man front, which ranges from 327-pound senior tackle Harold Coates to 202-pound senior tight end Rich McGahagan, averages 261 pounds. Joining Coates (6-3, 327) at the other tackle is senior Justin Brown (6-3, 263), while the guards are seniors Ryan Kelly (6-0, 228) and junior Dan Baco (6-1, 264) at guards and senior Michael Paul Jenkins (6-3, 287) at center.

The leaders of Ursuline?s mammoth front wall are Coates and Brown, who have attracted the most attention from college scouts.

?Coates and Brown do have scholarship offers,? said Reardon, noting that both players have evolved into leaders.

?They both lead by example,? he said Reardon. ?The young guys are seeing [how they play] and that is invaluable on the field.?

Coates has received feelers from North Carolina State, Illinois, Marshall, Ohio University and Indiana, while Brown list offers from Toledo, Akron, Bowling Green and Ohio University. And more offers are expected to roll in, but also for their supporting cast as they develop throughout the season.

Coates, an All-Ohio selection last year who also serves as a team captain, said he tries to ?lead by example. Maybe not in the sprints, but when I play. We work hard together. If we work as a team, eventually we?ll do well.?

Coates tries to help the team by ?just coming off the ball and being very physical.? And, ?Once adversity kicks in, that is most important,? he added, meaning that the team seems to play better when the game is one the line, like last week?s 21-14 victory over Fitch.

Senior highlights.

Definitely has the size and speed to be a pulling guard at the next level. Better than average technique and good use of his upper body. Probably a better run blocker than pass blocker at this point...seems to like to bull rush a bit. Hopefully he gets it done in the classroom so he can take his talents to the next level.
