He's got fluid motion along the line and is an athletic speciman. He's going to be a good one no doubt.
Other notes: Craig is an absolute stud. No doubt. Ashley has vision, patience, and balance that is nearly unparalleled on the high school level. He'll compete for playing time early at Louisville. St. X soph QB Luke Massa is going to be a gem come his senior year. His statline v. Centerville: 18-19, 212 yards, 2 TD's. St. X WR #4 Danny Milligan is the best player the rest of Ohio hasn't heard of. Case in point: 3:50 left in the first half. It's a shame he's about 5'8" 155lbs.

In case you didn't notice, the kid is also St. X's excellent kicker, punter (he's been the 1st string place kicker and punter since his sophomore season, and state title season, in '05) and punt returner (as well as WR). He's a great example of a great high school football player who won't be able to make much of an impact in college (aside from his kicking).
