 | RB | 6-2 / 215 Groveport Madison (OH) | Rating:  Pos Rank: 199 | Commit Date: 12/14/09 Committed Over: Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Eastern Michigan, Illinois, Marshall, Ohio State, West Virginia |
|
 | QB | 6-6 / 200 Saline (MI) | Pos Rank: 36 | Commit Date: 6/25/09 Committed Over: Boston College, Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, UCLA, Wisconsin | Scouting Report: Is a tall kid with a good arm and can make all the throws. Shows nice touch on deep balls and enough zip to get the ball to receivers on outs and other stick throws. Throws well on the run and shows good ability on play action. Tends to hold the ball a little low on drop back and needs to develop some consistency and learn to make quicker reads. He has the tools but has to refine his game technically. - Allen Trieu |
|
 | MLB | 6-3 / 235 St. Francis (MI) | Pos Rank: 5 | Commit Date: 10/9/08 Committed Over: Iowa, Notre Dame, UCLA | Scouting Report: Has a great feel for the game and instincts for the position. Finds the ball and is a sure tackler. Has a knack for making plays and is solid in coverage. Is able to take plays head on at his high school level, but will need to add size and strength to do the same in the Big Ten. Max is also a high character, motivated, hard working kid. |
|
 | DE | 6-3 / 235 Southfield Christian (MI) | Pos Rank: 76 | Commit Date: 6/19/09 Committed Over: Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Northwestern, Toledo | Scouting Report: Calero is a player who stands out on tape because of the speed at which he plays the game. He flies around and makes plays and shows great closing ability. He is a good blitzer and should make for a great edge rusher in college. His size and the fact that he has played out of a two-point stance for much of his high school career means he will need to take time to bulk up into a true defensive end. - Allen Trieu |
|
WR | 5-11 / 165 Twiggs County (GA) | Rating: Pos Rank: 321 | Commit Date: 1/27/10 Committed Over: Middle Tennessee, Utah State |
|
 | OT | 6-7 / 260 Carey (OH) | Pos Rank: 71 | Commit Date: 7/10/09 Committed Over: Indiana, Iowa State, Maryland, Miami (Oh), North Carolina State, Toledo | Scouting Report: Good overall athlete who is still learning the position. Has nice feet and shows good quickness along with flashing ability to get into the second level. Is still a work in progress who needs technical and weight room work, but has good upside and tools. - Allen Trieu |
|
 | S | 6-3 / 195 Hubbard (OH) | Pos Rank: 69 | Commit Date: 10/5/09 Committed Over: Boston College, Cincinnati, Indiana, Michigan, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Syracuse | Scouting Report: Is a sure tackler and a tough kid with good size. Takes good angles to the ball and comes in under control. Has experience playing man to man coverage and could play over the slot or cover backs and tight ends. Does not have elite speed, but is an above average athlete and a heady football player. - Allen Trieu |
|
 | DE | 6-7 / 250 Southeastern (MI) | Pos Rank: 4 | Commit Date: 6/16/09 Committed Over: Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Tennessee, USC | Scouting Report: Has an exceptional frame and athleticism to go along with it. Runs very well and shows a great motor as he pursues from sideline to sideline. Is great in space and has good feet and change of direction. Has played mostly off the line as a linebacker, so he will have to learn to play with his hand down in college. Pass rushing has consisted mostly of blitzes and will have to learn pass rush moves and improve at disengaging from blockers. - A.Trieu |
|
 | CB | 5-11 / 179 Renaissance (MI) | Pos Rank: 10 | Commit Date: 6/15/09 Committed Over: Iowa, Miami (Fl), Michigan, Purdue, Vanderbilt, Wisconsin | Scouting Report: Has very quick feet and loose hips. He can turn and run with receivers and shows good straight line speed. He is aggressive and can play up on receivers. He does a nice job of redirecting their routes. He plays the ball well in the air, but bats away some passes he should intercept. However, he does position himself well in jump ball situations. Does some chasing and will need to refine his technique. - Allen Trieu |
|
 | RB | 5-7 / 185 Chelsea (MI) | Pos Rank: 41 | Commit Date: 6/30/09 Committed Over: Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford, Toledo | Scouting Report: Fantastic natural runner with great instincts and feel for the game. Has good vision, finds creases and hits them with a good burst. Has solid speed and elusiveness in the open field. Lacks great size, but runs with toughness and determination. Average route runner and pass catcher. |
|
 | OG | 6-4 / 250 St. Francis DeSales (OH) | Pos Rank: 59 | Commit Date: 7/10/09 Committed Over: Cincinnati, Iowa, Minnesota, Northwestern, Stanford, Wisconsin | Scouting Report: Jackson does a great job of keeping the pad level low and hands in the proper area. Has the ability to drive the defender off the line of scrimmage. Excels as a run blocker using quickness, balance and strength to control defenders. Has great ability to pull and lead a block downfield. Has great lateral movement and maintains contact finishing blocks. Could use some work on having a strong punch and to do more work on mirror drills. - Dave Berk |
|
 | RB | 6-0 / 185 John Glenn (MI) | Pos Rank: 73 | Commit Date: 1/3/10 Committed Over: Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Colorado, Eastern Michigan, Illinois State, Michigan | Scouting Report: Is a taller, upright back and a slasher. Does a nice job of finding creases and gets into the open field where he has good speed and elusiveness. His build and running style makes it tough for him to break a ton of tackles and he ends up being more of a finesse, in-space player than a grind it out feature back type. He does have the ability to project to other positions such as defensive back and wide receiver. |
|
 | S | 5-11 / 186 Ben Davis (IN) | Pos Rank: 20 | Commit Date: 7/30/09 Committed Over: Central Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Purdue | Scouting Report: Has great instincts and a feel for the game that allows him to always be around the ball. His forte is run support. He reads and diagnoses plays well and closes quickly. Despite not being particularly big, he is a strong hitter and a sure tackler. In coverage, he can play man to man or roam. He has excellent timing as a blitzer. Needs to get bigger and stronger. Is also not a pure burner with great makeup speed. |
|
 | WR | 6-3 / 180 Crockett Vocational Tech (MI) | Pos Rank: 62 | Commit Date: 5/7/09 Committed Over: Central Michigan, Michigan, Northwestern, Pittsburgh, Toledo, Western Michigan | Scouting Report: Is an exceptional athlete with great ball skills and route running skills, especially considering he has been a quarterback for his high school career. Has good height but is skinny and lacks great strength. Has decent speed, but is not a true blazer. However, he is elusive and does well in the open field. |
|
 | WR | 6-1 / 197 Dooly County (GA) | Pos Rank: 116 | Commit Date: 10/5/09 Committed Over: Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Vanderbilt | Scouting Report: Has decent height and a nice, stocky build. His strength is evident in the open field as he is able to break a lot of arm tackles. In terms of the receiver position, he exhibits good ball skills, as he is able to go up and catch the ball in traffic. Good speed, but not super fast or elusive in the open field. More of a straight line guy. |

 | FB | 6-0 / 230 Catholic Central (MI) | Rating: Pos Rank: 34 | Commit Date: 2/1/10 Committed Over: Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Illinois, Michigan, Toledo, Virginia |
|
 | DE | 6-3 / 235 Moeller (OH) | Pos Rank: 60 | Commit Date: 8/1/09 Committed Over: Boston College, Cincinnati, Michigan, Nebraska, Virginia, Wisconsin | Scouting Report: For the most part Marcus Rush lines up as a defensive end at the high school level. In college Rush would be a great player in the 3-4 as he's got the size to be an outside linebacker or defensive end. Tough, with the ability to play fast, Marcus Rush is one of Ohio's top prospects in the Class of 2010. - Dave Berk |
|
 | P | 6-0 / 180 Forest Hills Northern (MI) | Pos Rank: 3 | Commit Date: 8/3/09 Committed Over: Air Force, Alabama, Arizona State, LSU, Northwestern, Purdue |
|
 | OT | 6-6 / 281 Big Walnut (OH) | Pos Rank: 17 | Commit Date: 11/20/09 Committed Over: Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Purdue, South Carolina, Wisconsin | Scouting Report: Big, physical player who should have a chance to play early in his college career. Strong run blocker, needs work in pass-pro but overall has great feet and shows the ability to continue to improve on technique. Plays hard and with a nasty streak. Midwest Recruiting Analyst Dave Berk. |

 | DT | 6-3 / 300 Fort Scott (KS) | Rating: Pos Rank: JC | Commit Date: 1/23/10 Committed Over: Nebraska |
|
 | OLB | 6-0 / 217 Western (FL) | Pos Rank: 72 | Commit Date: 1/16/10 Committed Over: Missouri, Purdue, South Florida, TCU, Toledo, Tulsa, West Virginia | Scouting Report: Wilson is one of the more physically imposing LBs in the state. He looks to inflict punishment on ball carries and really on anyone who gets in his way. He showed his athleticism running the ball on offense where he was a load to bring down. Wilson will freelance some on defense and moves better going forward and backward. He has the overall skill set to be an outstanding LB at the next level. -Geoff Vogt |
