The only reason that I have included a profile on Jarrod Smith is that John McCallister, the publisher and editor of the McCallister Scounting Report (sold exclusively to 65 colleges across the country) and the true dean of Ohio recruiting, thinks that Jarrod is one of the sleepers in the class of 2006. It will definitely be interesting to see how Smith develops at Indiana.

There’s no doubt that the strength of the Midwest is and always will be the offensive line. The state of Ohio is absolutely loaded with road graders in 2005 and this group is led by Cincinnati (Colerain) tackle Connor Smith. Here’s a look at the rest of the “Top 10” offensive linemen in the Midwest.
