2009 Ohio Top 20 (as of April 25, 2008)

Duane Long has put together his top 100 prospects in for this year's class, which you can read more about in Ohio High Magazine (click here for info).

“The run of outstanding recruiting classes continues in Ohio with the Class of 2009,” Long said. “What I really like about this class is the diversity. The last two classes have been outstanding but they have been narrowly focused on a few positions. This class only has a couple of positions where there are no elite players, and even at those positions, there are possible elite players.”

Here is a rundown of his top 20.
