Tall Pro Style Quarterback Josh Masters out of Akron Hoban was rated the best quarterback in camp this past summer at Ohio State. Hoban had a tough year but Masters continues to garner attention from recruiting coordinators. “I feel that I have great leadership qualities. Also I feel that I have a very strong and accurate arm.” He told us about his ability on the field.

This past summer while at Ohio State’s camp he participated in 7-on-7s and led his team back from a 15 point deficit to within 3 points before time ran out. “I attended the summer camp at Ohio State and I loved it. It was a great experience.” He reported to us about the experience in Columbus.
