Avon Lake wide receiver/defensive back Trey Stross has been named one of the best two-way players in the state by TheInsiders.com heading into next fall.

Stross, 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, was a key contributor to the Shoremen's state championship this year. He had 28 receptions for 721 yards and 10 touchdowns, earning him first team All-District and honorable mention All-Ohio as a junior.

He lists his top five schools as Ohio State, Florida State, Penn State, West Virginia and Tennessee.

Stross seems like a pretty good athlete- from D'Andrea's HS

Two additions have added instant depth to the Avon Lake track program - one athlete and one coach.

The athlete is junior Trey Stross, a football and basketball standout who is out for track for the first time. Stross anchored victories in the 4x200 relay, the 4x100 relay, and finished second in the 400-meter dash, helping the Shoremen win the team title in Saturday's Avon Lake Invitational.

Stross had never run the 400 before the meet. He finished in 52.3 seconds. He did not compete in what might be his best events - the high jump and long jump - because he was taking a college entrance test in the morning.

"He's a very good athlete," Avon Lake coach Keith Kauffman said. "He's really going to step up to the plate for us this year."

The 4x200 relay team, which also included Jon Schroeder, John Clifford, and Bobby Doyle, set a school record, finishing in 1:32.3. Rob Heinen, Nick Cobos, Jeff McElheny and Mike Baraona also gave Avon Lake a victory in the 4x800 relay.

The coach is Bob D'Andrea, who became the school's first official throws coach this season. D'Andrea's son, Mike, won state championships in the shot put and discus in 2002 and is attending Ohio State on a football scholarship.

Per Rivals- Trey was just offered by Iowa. tOSU is in his list of favorites and is recruiting him as a WR.

A player who could really see his stock rise in the coming weeks is WR/DB Trey Stross of Avon Lake, OH. Stross recently had a positive trip to Maryland.

"I just got back from my visit to the University of Maryland," he said. "It was a beautiful campus, and the coaches and players were real nice."

Expect Stross to head back to Maryland this summer as well as a stop at the MSL/Insiders.com camp in Cincinnati, but all his plans don't seem final yet.

"I'll be planning for my camps this summer, and the Maryland four-day camp in June, I will be participating in for two of the four days," he said.

Is Ohio State recruiting Stross?

"Yes, I was still on their board of the four WRs," he said.

Stross also seems excited about the possibilities Maryland presented him with.

"Maryland is recruiting me as a FS and a WR. They think I can play both sides during a game," he said. "A (Chris) Gamble for example.

"They even said I can be one of the first players in NCAA to do all that and also be the starting punter. That would be really sweet and I think I can do all three. My endurance is really good and I can last a whole game. Also, with last year being my first year of punting and avg. about 42 yards a kick, I like the idea of almost not coming off the field."

Stross last night

Doyle and Trey Stross were 1-3 in the 200 meters.

"In the 100, Schroeder and I talked and we didn't care who took which place, we just wanted to score points and get this conference championship," Doyle said.

Stross was running shoulder-to-shoulder with Doyle with about 10 meters to go in the 200 meters when he pulled up and limped across the finish line.

Avon Lake coach Keith Kauffman said Stross has had knee problems all track season. He thought he would be OK for next week's Division I district meet.

Stross, a first-year track athlete, was a member of Avon Lake's Division II state championship football team with Doyle, Schroeder and other members of the track team.

"Schroeder and I were working real hard to get Trey out for track," Doyle said. "He's such a great athlete."

Stross won the high jump (6-7), the 400 meters (50.57) and ran on the winning 4x200 relay team before he was injured. Schroeder won the long jump (21-0) and ran on both winning sprint relay teams.

Stross continues to excell in the high jump

But while advancing to state was enough to satisfy them for now, Avon Lake's Trey Stross and Westlake's B.J. Travers settled for nothing less than a regional title.

Stross, a junior, won the boys high jump. His 6-foot-6 jump was 1-inch better than Berea's Jeremiah Johnson.

''I'm really close in getting to about 6-10. It's just a matter of time I think,'' said Stross, who has reached 6-8 three times. ''It's really close. I hope when it happens, it happens at state.''

I assume he goes to tOSU camp- he could be another darkhorse offer candidate

Rivals-premium

He already has quite a few Big time offers (Iowa, Maryland). He says he is not a big tOSU fan and it does not look like he is camping at tOSU. If true then I can't see him being a candidate for an offer.

[LordJeffBuck]

Hartline, Robiskie, and Orton seem to be better prospects, and at least two of them would jump at an OSU offer. I agree Buckskin - Stross was a longshot at best, and his lack of interest in the Bucks will probably ensure that he does not receive an offer.
