| One of the most versatile athletes in the Midwest. Many recruiters feel Ballard could be a great offensive lineman but he could get some looks at tight end or along the defensive line. Performed extremely well at the Scout.com All-America Combine in Akron this past May. |

| Big-bodied player who is a fine athlete. Used to play basketball on the same AAU team as sophomore sensation O.J. Mayo of Cincinnati North College Hill. Played tight end and DE in high school but could be a OL as well. Has said he would rather play defense. |
