Marcus Ball (6-3 170) ATH - Westerville South, Westerville

Ball is below the radar right now, but is a guy who will likely get more offers over the summer camp circuit. His biggest offer right now is Arizona State, but he's talking to Big Ten schools like Northwestern at the moment. His brother Ray was a freshman at Wisconsin last year. He also plays quarterback, but is probably a safety at the next level for most schools.

McCallister's Take: “I really like him. He's a big, tall 6-3 free safety. He's playing quarterback right now, but I really like him. He hits and he has really good closing speed. I just like him. He doesn't have great speed, but he's fast enough. I just think he's overlooked right now.”

if this mccalister is who i think it is, i wouldn't take his opinion too seriously...nothing against ball, just saying this guy isn't all he's cracked up to be...

if it's the guy i'm thinking of.

If the staff likes him, I like him. I like how the staff is going hard after some undervalued kids.

could be this year's john turner.

The eval on Ball about being underrated is spot on. He has always played qb but is very athletic and has size. Not a bad player to take a flyer on. He will get more big time offers as the camp circuit continues.

I also love that we go after underrated guys as well, but are we taking enough safeties in this class that we'd take a flier here? I also wonder if other big conference schools that aren't going after bigger prospects would have a better chance if they can guarantee more PT.

I do like the comparison to John Turner, who is a great pickup IMO
