Not too far from me. If I'm still living up here next season, may take a trip over to watch a game. Kind of a neat community - I guess you could say middle class/ working class - I can see how Toledo would appeal to him. As you could guess by the name - lots of lakes in the immediate area.

Big time recruit for UT. #1 QB on our board. On3 had him as 100% for UT. They got it right. Let's get one more for '24.

had 2800 yards passing and 1800 rushing for 4600 total yards. Amazing

Big kid.... 6'4" or 6'5". Keeps eyes downfield. Doesn't get flustered. Perhaps a little raw but is accurate. Runs through and over kids in HS - will not be able to do that at Toledo.

P5 offers will come.

Video pops.

Woohoo! Always nice to secure that first verbal, and a QB nonetheless. I noticed our guy Candle retweeted his announcement. So he's staying at UT...? Let's get the ball rolling.

In this portal age it is important to get 2 QB's in each recruiting cycle. Now can we grab Jansen, Dugger or Carpenter? Three big time recruits. Two with connections to schools familiar with UT staff and program. Jensen from Tampa Wharton and Dugger from Pittsburgh Penn Hills

Verbal from 6'3 220 LB/TE/ATH Tysen Smith, Bloomington South, IN.
Some other MAC offers plus P5s from Indiana and Minnesota, plus Penn, Air Force and Army.

When I see schools like Penn and the academies I always worry if they can cut it academically at UT.

Interesting.. Thank you for posting!

UT off to a good start for 2024.

It will be interesting to see which position he will be playing in 3 to 4 years. He could be a thick kid. Nice get-off as an edge rusher. It's really hard to tell which position UT aligns with him. He's classified on some sites as a TE, some a TE/edge/LB. He's a big, strong, solid kid. Ultimately a Mike? A lot of nice offers! He had a wide array of choices that's for sure. He made a good decision.

On3 had him at 49% likely to go to hometown IU and UT at < 1%. UT flipped that script and pulled him out of a hometown P5 offer!!!!!! Impressive.

247 article summarizing his Minnesota visit states that Coach Fleck offered him after a workout and saw him at 250-260 lbs and playing edge.

Welcome to Toledo.

I wonder Wisconsin's new coach, Luke Fickell who he is eyeing to grab out of Ohio for his 2024 class ?

From the photos, that dude is one of the most jacked up QB's I've ever seen coming out of HS - and he's still only a junior going into his senior season next fall. He will put a hurt on any DB coming up to make a tackle. Can pretty much guarantee they will be going low, especially if he has some decent speed. Don't know if he gets any bigger, but at 6-3.5 and 222, how much more size do you really need? Just the same, if he gets as big as Dante Culpepper, was I wouldn't have a problem with it.

What an untimely hire at Wisky for Michigan who was hoping to make in roads back into Ohio. Luke is beloved by Ohio HS coaches and has a great school and the same conference to sell. Ohio $tate will always get theirs in Ohio. Watch Luke in the Chicago area too.

The recruiting hit will be felt hardest by his former employer UC.
