If you are looking for a running back in the class of 2012, you need to look no further and Austintown Fitch high school. At 6-0 and 194 pounds, William Mahone is built to deliver a blow but he also has home run speed. Mahone grew into the offense gradually his sophomore season and is poised to have a huge junior season for the Fitch Falcons in 2010.
In addition to playing RB, Mahone also stood out on defense playing a SS/OLB role for his team. It's more than obvious Mahone can run and hit anything that moves. Head coach Phil Annarella at Fitch speaks very highly of Mahone and is excited to see him reach his potential in the Falcon backfield. Mahone will be paired with 2011 standout RB Bruce Reed, who is also a fine college prospect. Look for the pair of Reed and Mahone to run wild in 2010.

The Class of 2011 is starting to take shape as the Spring Evaluation Period opens up. Cincinnati recruiting is strongest in central Indiana, Cincinnati, Dayton, and New Jersey. The new staff has worked hard to expand their area of operation into central and northeast Ohio. Many Florida players are getting offers early, as well.

With the Class of 2012 UC wants to get in early on the top talent in the state of Ohio. They have already offered Jamire Westbrook, Joe Bolden, Kaleb Ringer, Chris Wormley, and Latroy Lewis, and Noah Spence.

Ringer has the bloodlines and body to excel in college football. Lewis was recently named DL MVP at the NIKE Combine in Columbus over the weekend. Westbrook could really explode out of the UC backfield down the line if he chooses the Cats.

By offering William Mahone, UC has opened up their 2012 offers with a Northeastern gambit. The talented running back lives in Austintown, Ohio, which is just west of Youngstown. Mahone will not settle for the one offer, regardless of the weight a Big East offer carries.

"He certainly has to work on a lot of things to get better, but he knows that," said Head Coach Phil Annarella. "He is working real hard in the weight room right now. He is doing a good job with his strength."

Austintown Fitch High School boasts a quality football program. In 2008, Fitch alum Mike McGlynn was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. The offensive lineman is still trying to get on the field, but might see some snaps at center in the next NFL season. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer McGlynn took the majority of snaps with the first team this spring.

McGlynn attended Pitt. There have been a couple of other high profile graduates from Fitch High School. Davanzo Tate originally selected West Virginia before settling in at Akron for the remainder of his career. Last summer he put some time in with the Calgary Stampede of the Canadian Football League. Almost a decade ago Fitch put out their last dynamic skill position player, Miles Williams. After signing with Michigan State, Williams found his way back home to play for the Youngstown State Penguins.

Mahone should be the next big thing out of Austintown. Coach Annarella believes the sophomore should not limit himself just yet.

"An excellent athlete, could play a number of positions on the football field," said Annarella. "He also started at outside backer for us. He could play a number of positions. He could be a return man or receiver. He has good hands also."

When the Falcons of Fitch move to their new football conference (All-America Conference) a year from now the steadying influence will be the coaching staff and the spread offense. They swear by it. Within the confines of the spread offense Mahone still gets plenty of carries. In 2009 he split time in the backfield, but still managed to set the school's sophomore rushing record.

"He did not get a whole lot of carries," said Coach Annarella. "He was sharing time with two-year starter. He is a strong kid, very versatile. He has good speed."

Athleticism is one thing, one very important thing, but character is key according to Coach Jones. He consistently harps on representing the C. Mahone's coach believes the RB can fit that bill too.

"Great kid," said Coach Annarella. "That is one thing that I think turned UC's head. He has good character. He does the right things. Strong mom at home. Good guidance from them."

Digging their claws into the Cleveland, Warren, and Youngstown area should be a priority for UC going forward. In 2010 Coach Jones pulled in just two players from north to northwest Ohio. Josh Russ from Elyria Catholic and Brad Harrah of Marian Pleasant reside almost due north of Columbus. To be fair Coach Jones and his crew took over very late in the game for the 2010's.

The Class of 2011 an 2012 will be better representations of what they can do in the recruiting world. The decision to offer William Mahone before all other suitors looks to be a good one.
