I want to say I am grateful for the opportunity to cover all the great talent across the country, especially in Ohio. I wish everyone wealth, health, and success in 2022 and beyond, and I mean it! Let’s dig in! Let’s get to the good stuff, shall we?
Quarterbacks
Kaden Holmes Kaden Holmes 5'11" | 170 lbs | QB Fremont Ross | 2023 State OH – Fremont Ross
- 3-year starter with almost every passing record in school history.
- Multiple Sport Athlete
- He plays DB as well
- 2022 outlook
- Holmes has three full years of starting varsity at Fremont Ross, and the expectation will be very high for the prospect. Holmes is the favorite for winning player of the year in 2022 but will need a solid off-season to help get him to that next level of high school greatness.
Blake Lichtenberg Blake Lichtenberg 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Toledo St. John's | 2023 State OH – St. John’s Jesuit
- Phenomenal instincts and vision
- Has a chance to be exceptional in 2022
- He comes from a long lineage of QBs in the family
- 2022 Outlook
- Lichtenberg had some of the most thrilling games to start the 2021 season as he drove his team down the field in back-to-back game-winners. The deceptively quick QB can run when needed and can do it well. Blake already holds 1 FCS offer from Youngstown State University. Expect to see a strong and more developed Blake in 2022.
Tywaun Clark Tywaun Clark 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Toledo Central Catholic | 2023 State OH – Toledo Central Catholic
- Coming off an injury in 2020, Clark had an incredible 2021 season
- Has the size and arm strength to become a D1 player
- Ty can also run the ball with the best of them at QB
- 2022 Outlook
- Tywaun is a unique talent for the fighting Irish as he could play multiple positions on the field. Under center, Ty has the tools to become a big-timer at QB, mainly because he throws lefty. 2022 should be about working on his technique and developing his speed as he can be very electric on his feet. Clark will have the best OL in the area as well in 2022.
TJ Takats TJ Takats 6'4" | 185 lbs | QB Perrysburg | 2023 OH – Perrysburg
- The relentless rusher has developed his rushing attack in 2021
- Quick-release on his passes
- Prototypical height for a D1 QB, but he is committed to playing D1 Baseball.
- 2022 Outlook
- TJ will continue to get looked at as a football player, but baseball seems to be his future. Takats will compete to be the best in his league and the area as he has solid weapons coming back for another season. TJ is a baller, and this will be the season to see if college football is really in the cards as he has a chance to gain D1 offers on the gridiron.
Cameron Swiger Cameron Swiger 6'0" | 190 lbs | QB St. Francis DeSales | 2023 State OH – St. Francis De Sales
- Cam had a slow start to the 2021 season but found a grove midseason
- Very good at RPO has the wheels to run it
- Can throw a variety of passes from many angles
- 2022 Outlook
- Swiger shows the grit of a top QB as his early-season struggles did not hinder the entire season. Cam had a lot of expectations in 2021, and now with the JR season under his belt, he can focus this offseason on his development. I believe Swiger will surprise many people with what should be an outstanding 2022 season, and he has all the tools.
