The kid is the real deal.

Big game for Ross and the Cavaliers this Saturday vs. Delphos St. John's. They are going for an undefeated untied undisputed MAC championship and a probable #1 seed in the regions

GO CAVALIERS!

WOW is right. Didn't some idiot "guru" call him slow at one point? A lot of comparisons don't hold up, but this kid really does remind me of Hawk.:)

The schmucks on Bearcat Insider (Beckham and I can't remember the other one) had been saying that Homan was completely overrated and overhyped. Anyone who has seen him play this year needs their head examined if they try to make that argument.

when i saw ross play i wasnt that impressed at halftime and then the halftime stats were read over the loud speaker, 12 solos. he isnt a blazer but is quick and is fast but hes a smooth fast. you cant teach his knack for the ball. he is player but needs to add weight. probably right around 215ish id say.

You're joking right? 215? He's 230 -- OFFICIAL! His profile was from the Akron combine, not a self-reported. That was taken by the Scout.com guys -- as in Ross stood on a scale and the guys from Scout.com weighed him. Can't figure out why this is so tough for people to figure out.

His highlights from the Versailles game were more impressive than some LB's full season highlights.

i dont know, i put him on the eyeball scale. hes one of the biggest kids on the team if not the biggest. i didnt have a scale to put him on from the 20th row. just an observation. i dont put much stock in program weights in hs football. 140lbs become 180 and kids 5ft 8 350lbs become 275.

Beckham is so busy promoting his ticket to the big time(Tilley) that he has no time to actually evaluate other players. :biggrin:

Homan bruises Blue Jays: Top-ranked Coldwater pulls away in second half

DELPHOS — His tackles were bone-crushing.

But his runs were simply devastating.

Coldwater’s Ross Homan will probably line up at a linebacker position in college.

But unfortunately for Midwest Athletic Conference opponents this season, they had to deal with not only his great defensive prowess, but also his explosive running ability out of the backfield.

The Ohio-State bound Homan erupted for 186 second-half rushing yards and ended the game with 209 yards on the ground and four touchdowns, to help lead No. 1 Coldwater to a convincing 35-21 victory over Delphos St. John’s at Stadium Park.

Homan scored four touchdowns on the night — three in the second half — as the Cavaliers pulled away from a 14-14 tie at halftime and broke the game wide open in the third quarter.

Homan’s three third-quarter touchdown runs pushed Coldwater out to a 35-14 lead by the end of the quarter. Homan’s fourth TD of the game was a 91-yard run off tackle in the third quarter that gave the Cavs a 21-point advantage.

Coldwater coach John Reed gave credit to his entire team for the huge win that kept the Cavaliers undefeated (10-0, 9-0 MAC). St. John’s fell to 7-3 and 6-2 in the MAC.

“When their coaches shook our hands after the game, they told us that we had some great players,” Reed said with a smile. “I guess he’s (Homan) one of them.

“I thought the difference in the second half was our offensive line. They really came off the ball.”

Coldwater quarterback Steve Borger was pin-point with his passes, completing 12 of 15 for 141 yards.

“He (Borger) had 14 starts last season,” Reed said. “I think that really helped him to be able to play through certain situations this season.”

St. John’s was led by quarterback Nick Johnson’s 147 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Johnson (4-of-19 passing, 54 yards) also threw a TD pass to Curtis Laudick in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to 14 points.

St. John’s coach Todd Schulte said, “They have a lot of athletes and they made a lot of plays. I give them credit. They’re a great team and they deserve to win the MAC.”

Schulte added, “I told the kids to go home, wake up tomorrow, and forget about it. We have a lot more things to worry about.”

I sat with my best friend last night and I showed him the footage from last weeks game where RH has 30+ tackles, 120+ yards gained and a fumble recovery. I was amazed how fast this kid is. He just closes and blows up the runners. Perfect form tackler. His one game was better than any highlight film I have seen for Ohio LB's. He is a men against boys. There is no telling how hight ht ceiling is with this kid.
