Seeing as he's a 4.0 student at a private school like DeSales, I'd say this is not much of a concern

Im thinking more ACT and SAT scores. A kid can gets good grades in school but bomb his ACT. Also, the guy has to keep himself clean off the field, ie no problems with the law (as we have seen with some recent commits).

But not to end on a pessamistic vew, its always awesome to see us get a good pickup like this.

Maumee can't stop Buckeyes' prospect
Ball rushes for 211 yards in victory
By MARK MONROE BLADE SPORTS WRITER

Two days after verbally committing to play for Ohio State, Columbus St. Francis DeSales junior running back Warren Ball celebrated at the expense of Maumee on Friday night.

Ball rushed for 211 yards and scored four touchdowns as Columbus DeSales handled the Panthers 41-0 at Kazmaier Stadium.

Maumee lost its all-league running back Eric Long early in the first quarter. The senior had just two carries before being sidelined with a leg injury. The Panthers were further handcuffed when they lost starting quarterback Jake Schneider to a possible concussion on the first series of the second half.

Still Maumee trailed just 14-0 at the half before Columbus DeSales pulled away.

Utilizing a compact, pounding style Ball averaged 9.6 yards per carry.

"Everything with Ohio State was right," Ball said. "I thank God for the commitment and tonight I was able to make my reads and play hard."

Ball (6-2, 205) scored on runs of 5, 8, 1, and 19 yards. He found pay dirt twice in the first half and amassed 164 rushing yards. Ball scored his third TD of the night to give the Stallions a 21-0 lead two minutes into the second half. Ball scored from one yard out after setting it up with runs of 10 and 13 yards to spoil the home opener for the Panthers.

"He has all the tools," Maumee coach John Boles said. "He has size, speed, and he runs tough. They are solid and talented. They have good size and they wore us down."

Glad to hear this kid commit, our depth at RB for the future is absolutely sick! Keep putting in that work at HS Warren. Anyone think he could graduate early?
