By: Scott Burnstein, August 31, 2018, 10:15 am

Blake Fisher (Avon Soph. OT) — This 6-foot-6, 265-pound lineman is so cash money he bleeds green!!

• Already has offers from Indiana, Purdue, Iowa

Carson Steele (Center Grove Soph. RB) — Home-run threat on every snap, the 5-foot-11, 200-pound “factor back” is the TRUTH out of the backfield and the perfect combination of power, speed and finesse rushing the rock.

• Rushed for 1,700 yards and 20 touchdowns as a starter on varsity as a freshman and is averaging 140 yards per contest so far this season.

Brady Allen (Gibson Southern Fr. QB) — Throws laser beams and carves up cornerbacks like they’re a Thanksgiving turkey…….in other words, this 6-foot-5 FAB FROSH is cooler than the other side of my pillow in the pocket.

• Racked up 250 yards and four touchdowns through the air in his varsity debut, has his GS squad 2-0 out of the gate (led a 73-0 stomping of South Spencer in Week 2).

Ronnie Powlus III (Mishawaka Penn Soph. QB) — Coldblooded talent under center, is the definition of composure and command in the huddle.

• The son of Ron Powlus, the early-1990s schoolboy signal-calling phenom who went on to be a record-breaking field general at Notre Dame and a back-up quarterback in the NFL.
