Probably just a token thread given the small numbers in this class but the measurables are impressive. And his Rivals photo make him look a little like Teddy...

Miami (OH), Akron and Pitt are recruiting him the heaviest right now. Projects as either a safety or possibly a running back.

Congrats Ryan! Can't go wrong with a service academy education (should you decide to go there of course)...

Ryan went on the Ted Ginn Bus Tour and felt that he performed very well. He enjoyed visiting the campuses at Ball St., Kent St., and Illinois, as well as Eastern Michigan and Toledo.

Film.

My take: I think I might like Ryan more on offense...very quick feet and good balance. Defensively Ryan relys on his natural athletic ability a little too much. But on offense, he shows the strength to stay on his feet after contact and great balance and levereage. Has adequate speed but will need to get a little quicker (game speed) at the next level. Tought to get a great gauge because the competition in the video is pretty poor, but it will not surprise me to see Ryan garner more D1 offers.
