State of 2026 Recruiting

Eziuka would be a tremendous get. A center at 6-3 320, he excelled at not only run blocking but also pass protecting. Is a wrestler, just a really good athlete at that size with good feet and power.
Film I saw of this player he was primarily an OG/OT. Doesn't mean he can't be an OC of course, Drake Jackson was an OG in HS. Nice athlete with much upside.

Ezuika has a real nice first step, quick off the ball which is a good attribute for a C. Smart kid too, 4.8 GPA. What's not to like about him?!
Nothing. Which explains why he snagged a scholarship offer. LOL.

With little fanfare so far, Coach Wolf is screening a lot of OL prospects and doing everything he possibly can do to sign a couple of back to back impact OL classes. Given the extent to which he evaluates each athlete, he is way beyond online player ratings. He is applying his experience to assess what each of these guys will look like in 2 years. Aside from Tucker Kattus, this is a completely different OL board compared to the board Yenser was recruiting for us.

I agree. Coach Wolf appears to be working very hard. I will be shocked if Kattus is not a multi year starter.
 
This area is absolutely loaded with talent. The Greater Catholic League, GWOC, and GMC all have big time talent in then. There are 2026 kids with 20+ offers now and all from P5 schools. St. X and Moeller kids are getting offers nationwide.
You are right about the plethora of talent in SWO, however the GCL-South has been a little down lately, other than Moeller. There s a ton of upcoming talent at Lakota West, Winton Woods, Princeton, Anderson and Withrow. Springfield OH has produced some of the best talent in Ohio, over the last 5-6 years. AB-S is a product of SHS, which is coached by former Cat Mo Douglass.

Saint X is loaded, don’t forget about them. Young, but talented. Clapper has about every P5 offer you can get. The offensive coordinator at Springfield is a good friend of mine.. legit football school. Middletown will be great going forward. New coach and a ton of new faces this upcoming year.

There is a pay wall protected story that UK is still in the running for 2026 Top 200 TE Heze Kent.

He is from Brunswick, Georgia and would be a major recruiting haul from deeper South if we got him:
