Ohio's QB Crop Not Just Limited To Big Names

Posted by Mark Porter on Apr 27, 2010 at 06:24 pm

There's plenty going on this time of year in regards to high school football recruiting. Spring ball is wrapping up, college coaches are allowed to contact high school juniors, and they are all hitting the road with offers in hand for some of the best players in Ohio.

I want to take a look at some quarterback prospects in Ohio who are flying under the radar to this point. Seven quarterbacks in Ohio already hold a Division I offer to this point: Braxton Miller (Huber Heights Wayne), Cardale Jones (Cleveland Glenville), Marcus Graham (Trotwood Madison), Cole Stoudt (Dublin Coffman), Patrick Coyne (Hamilton Badin -- Verbal to Cincinnati), Connor Cook (Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit -- Verbal to Michigan State), Evan Shimensky (Kent Roosevelt -- Verbal to Kent State).

[RB07OSU]

Isn't that your boy RB07OSU?

Yep, my contact fell asleep on me and I got the call today. He had a few other offers but really liked Indiana. Reported 4.37 forty at BGSU camp. Indiana got an absolute steal here, he has a huge ceiling at DB and is explosive with the ball in his hands, definitely could play WR or RB. I wouldn't be surprised to see his offer list grow over his senior year, but reportedly the verbal is solid.
