The following is a mid-season review of top senior offensive players from a recruiting aspect. As evidence by lack of Minnesota offers, it is a down year for the state of Minnesota. It is probably safe to say that most of the players identified are preferred walk-on candidates. I am a Osseo RB Bridge Tusler fan, who has had a solid-year playing offense, defense, and special teams. Washburn TE/DE Noah Scarver and DeLaSalle TE/DE Jareid Combs are both having solid season sacking QBs and catching the ball on offense. DeLaSalle OL Chad Fahning and Lakeville North Zack Ziemer have picked up MAC offers. Minneapolis Henry duo of QB Markell Odom (6'4 210) and Darius Hill (6'4 200) are an interesting pair and have nice size to play at the next level. Will get a defensive summary out next. If I am missing any players that have FBS/FCS potential, please send email to [email protected]
