Recruiting Battle to Watch

For this week’s recruiting battle, we’ll take a look at an Ohio QB that’s on the radar of almost half of the MAC. Connor Ashby out of Hoover High School hasseven offers, including ones from BG, CMU, KSU, Miami, and Toledo. At 6’1” and 175 lbs., he’s not going to be a heavily recruited QB but his Hudl tape is what makes him stand out as he threw for 1,970 yards and 27 touchdowns in his junior season. Ashby’s ball location is fantastic and he’s athletic enough to contribute in the run game. If he’s able to add weight and learn to make quick decisions based on a read of the defense, he’ll be a solid college starter.
