Huber Heights Wayne 20, Lakota West 17 | Cincinnati Enquirer | Cincinnati.Com

West took a 17-14 lead on a 2-yard TD pass from junior quarterback John Peters to junior tight end Alex Smith with 5:46 left, but Wayne kicked two field goals in the final 2:22.

Alex is a really good ball player. He looked to be 6'4 or 6'5 last night...I thought they said 6'5, but either way, Alex has a great frame and runs really well. He made some nice plays last night against a good Wayne defense. Definetly a player to keep an eye on.

Lakota West's roster lists him at 6-5 215 and Nike's SPARQ testing measured him at 6-5 214. I am expecting him be the top TE prospect in Ohio next year, although Canal Fulton Northwest's Tim Caillet and Brunswick's Tyler Ferrell will have something to say about that.

I would have Smith and the kid from Illinois on top of the TE board...Wouldn't mind seeing us go after 2 next year, if we have room and only take 1 this year...

Totally agree...Smith has a TON of potential. He has a great frame, great athleticism, he blocks fairly well already, has amazing hands, and can be split out wide. I really think Alex Smith may be the true pass threat TE we fans have been wanting. My guess: He earns an offer at camp.

Agreed. We aren't going to allure an OOS stud TE with our offense and Smith is an OSU lean, who is a flat out stud. It is only a matter of time imo.

Maybe if we offer Smith and are able to pull him in, we may further entice his teammate Jordan Hicks! That would be a nice package.
