I still really like Mahone...he is going to be a great get for someone, and will likely have offers from the rest of the Big 10. Any other year and I think OSU would take a long look at him as either a RB or a LB, but with Ball and Dunn in the fold and offers out to several LBs, I just don't see it happening.

Jeremy Campbell Northmont

Mentioned by Duane Long as top Full Back in Ohio.
http://www.duanelongreport.com/2011-articles/february/2012-athletes.html

Paragragh from Article:
Nobody wants to play fullback anymore. It is the least glamorous position on a football field. Fullbacks take a pounding and don't get drafted. If they do find a place on an NFL roster they do not get paid well for it. It takes a different kind of person to play the position. Clayton Nothmont's Jeremy Campbell is that kind of person. He is out of position in high school more so than any player out there. Well, he is not so much out of position, he is an excellent defensive tackle, but he will not be a nose guard in college. This is the best fullback prospect I have seen in Ohio since Zach Boren and Adam Homan came out the same year. He explodes off the snap. The shock Campbell delivers is just what you want in a fullback. He is putting up weightroom numbers that I have not seen since John Simon. Something I want you to notice in his film is how fast he is. That is something that gets overlooked with fullbacks. You can't put some big strong guy back there. A fullback has to have some speed and he has to come off the snap quickly because he has to get out in front of that back. Anybody that needs a fullback needs to get down to see Campbell at Northmont. No coach is going to have to talk this kid into playing fullback. He expects it and is looking forward to it.

The athlete season

Written by Duane Long | 15 March 2011

I talk about the athlete season alot. For newcomers I will tell you what the athlete season is. It is the period that runs from spring to early summer. It includes track and field, combines and finally camps at the various schools.

What happens at those camps can change players futures. Sometimes players look great on film but need to show speed. Some need to show they are as big as listed. Sometimes coaches want to get a good look at their bodies up close. See if they have the kind of body that can add the weight and still keep their speed and athleticism. Others put themselves on the radar with surprising athlete season performances. I know that is always a puzzle to fans. You have to keep in mind how much this is about development. Development is what leaves the great high school players taking a back seat to a teammate that does not get anyones attention on the field but has the superior scholarship offers. The best of the best high school players are great players and great athletes. Make no mistake who is next in the pecking order. It is the superior athlete. College coaches are going to look at a player with great measurables and think about what he can do with him in the next three years. The better high school player with the full grown body and the average measurables is done as far as coaches at big time schools are concerned. That player is limited but the believes he can teach that superior athlete how to play football as well if not better than the superior high school player. There are exceptions to the rule all the time but there is no doubt about the superior athlete theory. It is sound and and time tested.
