<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're spotlighting some of the top multi-sport stars in Ohio as a way to show love to the players who put on for their school in the fall and spring. In this article we'll take a look at some 2026 forwards who have been busy on Friday nights this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1705955"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6712abed54136"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Holding power conference football offers from schools like Michigan, Georgia, Cincinnati, Duke, Virginia and plenty more, Fogle is one of the top recruits in Ohio's 2026 class on the gridiron and nationally ranked inside the top 100 on 247sports. He's helped Lexington find their footing after a slow start and the Minutemen could be a playoff sleeper. On the hardwood, Fogle was named first team all-state as a sophomore, averaging 14.9 points and 8.2 rebounds a game. Fogle is one of the most talented athletes in Ohio and a name for fans across the state to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1773220"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6712abed541cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Greer put on a show at the Division I state championship game back in 2023 when he helped his team upset Pickerington Central as just a freshman. Greer received his first football offer just a couple weeks after that game from the Ohio State University. Since that day, many power conference schools have offered Greer including powerhouses from the Big 10 and SEC. A nationally ranked offensive line recruit, Greer is a name that high school football recruiting diehards know nationally.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1429557"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6712abed54232"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Albers is one of the rare athletes in Ohio to receive legit Division I recruiting interest for both football and basketball. Usually it's quite obvious what sport a top athlete will play at the college level but Albers has taken visits to Kentucky, Cincinnati, Toledo and Miami (OH) for football this fall and plans to take a visit to Eastern Michigan this weekend for basketball. Albers has helped Minster get off to a 7-1 start this season and they play conference rival Marion Local who is trying to break a state record for consecutive victories. We'll see if Albers and the Wildcats can snap the Flyers winning streak and get back in the MAC conference title race.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1452919"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6712abed542c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A three-sport standout for Fredericktown, Toombs plays football, basketball and track for his high school. Fredericktown is currently 5-3 on the football season and control their own destiny to make the playoffs. In the summer, Toombs was a part of Nova Village's 16 U UA-Rise championship team. As a Sophomore, Toombs was also named honorable mention all state for Division III.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2458397"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6712abed5432c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another member from the Nova Village 16 U UA Rise championship team, Hemphill has been a perfect fit for Bishop Hartley as a wide receiver who can block and catch jump passes. The Hawks got a key win over Bloom-Carroll to get back into the playoff bracket if the season ended today. Hemphill also stood out at the Prep Hoops Expo in September, continually showing his athletic versatility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
