Just ahead of Newburg is Isaiah Gibson, a two-way lineman from Springfield who posted Tuesday night he has been offered by Maryland.
That is 18 offers for Gibson, who can also count West Virginia, Minnesota, Iowa State, Kentucky, Cincinnati and Miami U. among his suitors.

Gibson and teammate Moses Douglass were in Columbus on Monday to watch Ohio State practice and went to West Virginia on Tuesday.
Tonight, I submitted a Crystal Ball pick for a blue-chip OL, considered an Ohio State lean, to end up elsewhere. I explain why in Dotting the Eyes.

Continuing up 247’s list we find Connor Bazelak, the No. 28 player in Ohio and the No. 1 quarterback prospect in the state.
The Alter signal-caller has more than a dozen offers as well after adding Duke this week and North Carolina last week.

Meanwhile, another area quarterback made news in a different way.
Andre Gordon, the quarterback and point guard at Sidney, announced he will concentrate on basketball in college after previously considering football as well.

On the flip side, Springfield’s RaHeim Moss may be able to consider both sports as he looks to his future.
The Wildcats' leading scorer was already fielding football offers before getting one from Cincinnati for basketball this week.

Lastly, here is a blast from the past: Remember Messiah deWeaver? He was a standout quarterback at Trotwood-Madison and Wayne before signing with Michigan State.
He opted to leave the Spartans program over the winter and has transferred to East Mississippi Community College, where he will be re-recruited in hopes of finding a new home in Division I after this coming season.
First to enter the ring? Toledo.
Blessed to receive an offer from the University of Toledo🙏🏽 @ToledoFB @CoachNCole pic.twitter.com/LT22HBR849
