Must Have Trio From Class Of 2013

Jalin Marshall

I expect Marshall to finish his high school career as the best skill player to come out of Ohio in my time evaluating talent in the state.

Duane Long was asked and he has the answer. Which in-state prospects in the Class of 2013 are "must gets?" He offers up a truly impressive trio ...

      You mention that the quarterback class will be the best we will ever see?

      I know that Braxton Miller and Jones are recent QB's, but how would you compare the 2013 class to them? Miller was highly touted and Jones was very good. Is 2013 that much deeper?

      The depth takes the class to another level. Kyle Kempt and Kyle Stahl are classic pocket passers. Both are tall and have the kind of arms that make play books get bigger. You have Malik Zaire and Nathan Strock as the athletic passers. Both can rip apart a defense with their arms or their legs. Tommy Tupa is a great looking quarterback but the others in this class have made him an afterthought. He can't catch a break. Brogan Roback is a quarterback you have probably never heard of. He is from Toledo who has already been offered off his sophmore film by two MAC schools. I doubt you have head of Ricky Davis. He is a Moeller kid. He too can claim a pair of MAC offers off his sophmore performance.

    • Darn only 1 o linemen.

      I thought the idwest was known for producing great o linemen?

    • Yes I've heard of Roback.. Him and Loving are tough against my Alma mater Whitmer.

      The o-line class for 2013 is shaping up nicely. Scout put out their early top 20 list and 7 of the 20 were offensive linemen:

      #4 Alex Gall; #6 Lovell Peterson; #7 Billy Price; #10 Steve Mathie; #11 Evan Lisle; #12 Kyle Meadows; #17 Sean Welsh

      Hopefully whoever the staff is next year takes advatange of this crop.

      We are talking about must have players. The offensive line class is a solid group right now with Lovell Peterson and Evan Lisle likely to join the ranks of the must haves by seasons end. Billy Price might be a DT but he could be an offensive lineman. He and Lisle are tackles. I am waiting to see Moellers Alex Gall. He was not a varsity player last year but won a camp MVP award. I can't recall which camp.

    • Just curious - why might Thomas be a better safety than RB, Duane?

      Gall was MVP at OSU.

      What's your thought on Kyle Meadows? Based on a recent interview seems like the staff is talking to him a lot.

    • Don't worry about the linemen. Must have offensive linemen after their sophmore year are rare commodities. The state looks like it will at least produce a solid crop. Price has already been offered. I see Peterson and Lisle as odds on to be Buckeye offers. I am looking forward to see junior film of 2 players, the receiver Wheelwright whose first name escapes me right now, and Gall.

      Besides Alex Gall, maybe you can also take a look at 6'6" and 290 OT Kyle Meadows from Lakota. Meadows and Donavon Munger at DT, both interesting instate specimens.

      Looking forward to seeing film of those two also.

    • I live in Alliance. A LOT of people wonder out loud why Ohio State is not paying more attention to Thomas.

    • Thanks Daune. Is the younger Tupa a punter too?

    • Duane,
      Sounds like a fun class with some great athletes. Need so "must get" O-linemen! However, I do agree that it is tough to project them as "must get" at a young age.

    • If Gall lives up to the underclassmen camp OL MVP, and Meadows keeps improving (heard they loved what they saw, and he is athletic kids and plays basketball), OSU may not have to go outside of Ohio to find 5 OL in 2013 with Peterson, Lisle, Price (with enough OL, maybe he flips to DL), Meadows and Gall. Man, would that be nice to finally add some depth along the OL and not leave the state of Ohio to do it. Even Mathie may have a shot as well.

      From my sources inside St John's they say Michigan State, Purdue and Iowa are already sniffing around Brogan Roback.
