Brennen Ward (6’3 QB/Gahanna Lincoln/2025): Ward is one of the most experienced quarterbacks in the area after starting for the majority of his first two seasons at Gahanna Lincoln. The six-foot-three passer helped lead the Lions to a regional title, throwing for over 2,000 yards and 22 touchdowns.

Tito Glass (6’3 HB/Marion-Franklin/2024): Standing at six-foot-three, 230 pounds, Glass is one of the most physical running backs in Columbus. In 2022 he had 1,126 all purpose yards and 15 touchdowns. He committed to Miami University this summer.

Sam Williams-Dixon (5’11 HB/Pickerington North/2024): Williams-Dixon joins Pickerington North after transferring from West Holmes High School, where scored 41 touchdowns as a junior and won first team All-State for the second straight season. The Ohio State running back commit

Amari Valerio-Hudson (5’11 WR/Dublin Coffman/2025): Valerio-Hudson picked up 58 catches, 680 yards to become Dublin Coffman’s leading receiver as just a sophomore. Primarily lining up in the slot, Valerio-Hudson gets behind defenses on a seam route or makes plays in the screen game. 

Dante Varrasso (6’1 WR/Granville/2024): Varrasso is a two sport star who we’ve seen shine in football and basketball. He earned first team All-District and All-LCL in both sports last season. As a junior, the Granville wide receiver brought in 65 catches for 906 yards and had 12 total touchdowns, including a 90 yard kick-off return touchdown. 

A.J. Miller (6’4 TE/Pickerington North/2024): Miller has a great combination of speed and size at the tight end position at six-foot-four, 220 pounds. As a junior, Miller hauled in 13 passes for over 250 yards and will continue to be a matchup nightmare in 2023. Miller became a UAB commit over the summer.

Ayden Annarino (6’3 OL/Pickerington North/2025): After an impressive sophomore season, Annarino will look to take another step forward as a junior guard in 2023. He is a forceful blocker who can already move defenders in any way he wants to.

Ben Camara (6’6 OL/KIPP Columbus/2024): At six-foot-six and 330 pounds, Camara is one of the biggest lineman in Central Ohio, who often towers over his opponents on the other side of the line of scrimmage. He isn't just a big body up front, Camara is very strong and technically sound as he uses his powerful punch at the point of attack.

Nick Johnson (6’1 OL/Marysville/2024): Johnson is a two-way player who lines up at guard and defensive end for Marysville. He’s only six-foot-one, 225 pounds, but he moves very fast and brings enough physicality to fit well with Marysville’s run-heavy offensive scheme. 

Brandon Keener (6’2 OL/Hilliard Darby/2024): Keener is a wrecking ball who needs to be accounted for until the whistle is blown. He pulls across the line to clear a path for his ball carrier and remains active throughout the play, looking to serve up pancakes on a silver platter. The six-foot-two left tackle was an honorable mention for All-District in 2022.  

Tylar Mix (6’4 OL/Bishop Ready/2024): Mix was a first team All-District selection in 2022. A force anywhere along the offensive line, he has the ability to play inside in tight quarters as well as the length and agility to step outside and go one-on-one against a defensive end in pass protection.

Carter Holden (6’3 K/Dublin Jerome/2024): Holden was consistent as a junior, going 11-12 on field goals and 30-31 on extra points. As a punter, Holden was first team All-District and his ability to flip the field as well as his reliability in the kicking game makes him one of Dublin Jerome’s more valuable players.

Keishaun Calhoun (6’4 EDGE/Groveport Madison/2025): First team all OCC-Buckeye a year ago, Calhoun played a crucial role for the Groveport Madison defense that allowed less than two touchdowns a game in 2022. Calhoun was disruptive no matter where he lined up and has the ability to take a huge step forward as a junior.

Ty Moore (6’4 EDGE/Jonathan Alder/2024): The six-foot-four, 215 pound defender is a pure athlete for Jonathan Alder, playing in numerous front seven positions. Wherever Moore lines up, the first team All-District defensive end does a great job at getting through his blocker and making a play on the ball carrier.

Donovan Davis (6’1 DL/Bishop Hartley/2024): Davis, a Davidson commit, collected an array of awards as a junior being selected to first team all conference, first team all district, and second team all state. He is an immovable force in the interior and plays well off of blocks, finishing last season with 64 total tackles and seven of those for a loss. Davis also provides protection for his Bishop Hartley offense.

Ty Neubert (6’3 DL/St. Francis DeSales/2024): A hard hitting defensive tackle, Neubert plays with a level of toughness that stands out on the field. He finished his sophomore season with 17 tackles for a loss to go along with 65 total tackles on one of the most productive defensive lines in the area.

Harlee Hanna (6’0 LB/Canal Winchester/2024): A first team All-District linebacker as a junior, Hanna had over 150 tackles last season. Hanna is a hard nosed middle linebacker that is stout in the run game and shows the ability to read the quarterback and jump a crossing route in coverage.

Shiren Mabry (6’3 LB/KIPP Columbus/2025): Marbry is the prototypical ‘plug and play’ player at KIPP Columbus with the ability to drop into coverage as well as meet a running back in the hole. The six-foot-three junior is an elite athlete who also has quick reaction time, which means he’s almost never out of position.

Caden Wilson (6’0 LB/Hilliard Davidson/2024): As a junior, Wilson was highly productive from the inside linebacker position, finishing with 129 tackles and 20 tackles for a loss. He is a physical force between the hashes and isn't afraid to meet a running back head on. Wilson was first team All-OCC last season.

Brodyn Bishop (6’1 DB/Bloom-Carroll/2024): As a junior, Bishop was the anchor to Bloom-Carroll’s secondary. The second team All-District defensive back is a tremendous all-around athlete with the ability to cover a tight end across the middle or a speedy receiver on a corner route.

Cameron Garcia (5’10 DB/Westerville South/2024): Garcia has blazing speed that helps him run toe-to-toe with any receiver. He had 16 pass break-ups during his junior season and is a good tackler in the open field.

Emoni Smith (6’1 DB/Westland/2026): Smith will look to build on his freshman season where he came away with 83 tackles and five pass breakups. He is a sideline-to-sideline defender with great instincts and is a threat to make a play on any ball thrown his way.

Mario Williams (5’11 DB/Westerville Central/2024): Five-foot-eleven, 170 pound defensive back Williams had 100 total tackles and intercepted two passes as a junior. He has the flexibility to play as a safety or defend in man-to-man coverage.
