There are still so many big names to see. I have not seen Jaret Grace or Eddie Norrils, players that are likely to break the top 20, and possibly the top 10. I have only seen one play from Devin Smith, a player Mark Porter could not be higher on and I have learned to trust his instincts. I have not seen Josh McClain as a junior yet. This list could look different a month from now. Here is my top 20 in the state as it stands right now:

1. Braxton Miller 6-2 185 QB Huber Heights Wayne

Not having a junior year to remember but the tools are there.

2. Steve Miller 6-5 220 DE Canton McKinley

2. Kenny Hayes 6-6 224 DE Toledo Whitmer

There is little to separate the two so I will rank them together. Miller is a little more

explosive but Hayes is almost as quick and has the better body.

4. Chris Rock 6-5 255 DL St. Francis DeSales

Likely grows into a tackle but right now he is a great looking strong side DE prospect.

5. Trey DePriest 6-2 215 LB Springfield South

Instincts to spare. Always around the ball. Moving up more than any player in the class.

6. Cole Stoudt 6-3 200 QB Dublin Coffman

Better than his brother. He would be the talk of the class if not for Miller.

7. Doran Grant 5-11 170 CB Akron SV-SM

A ball hawk with top drawer speed, great hips and good feet.

8. Ronald Tanner 6-0 180 Ath Eastmoor Academy

Super athlete is starting to garner a lot of attention. Buckeyes are looking.

9. Donovan Clark 6-4 285 Ath Cincinnati Finneytown

I never will understand why a big kid this athletic is not being considered as a DT.

10. Chase Hounshell 6-4 225 OL Mentor Lake Catholic

Filling out nicely and still moving great. Packs a punch and likes to play football.

11. Shaq Washington 5-9 175 WR Maple Heights

As explosive as Shane Wynn and bigger.

12. Eilar Hardy 6-0 180 CB 4.67 Pickerington Central

Already has major D-1 offers.

13. Tommy Brown 6-5 300 DT/OL Akron Firestone

Really looks the part. Could be the big who shakes up the top ten.

14. Shane Wynn 5-6 150 Ath Glenville

Explosive and talented but Rivals confirmed 5-6 150 this past summer

15. Shaquil Pettaway 6-1 200 LB/S Steubenville

The most underrated player in the class. A bigger version of Brian Rolle.

16. Ray Hamilton 6-3 215 TE Strongsville

Doesn't have ideal size but looks good catching the ball and is a solid blocker.

17. Jamare Mills 6-4 250 OL Dublin Scioto

The kind of body and athleticism everyone is looking for. Unlimited upside.

18. Greg Brown 5-10 155 DB/WR Fremont Ross

Long arms and plays bigger than his listed size.

19. A.J. Jordan 6-1 170 WR Trotwood-Madison

Maybe the best ever out of the Trotwood program. Great hands and ball skills.

20. Josh McClain 6-2 225 Ath Clayton Northmont

Will outgrow receiver but still could end up at least a regional caliber recruit.
