At least seven of them are scheduled to be early enrollees in Dimitri Douglas, four-star quarterback Theo Day, four-star defensive back Xavier Henderson, four-star cornerback Kalon Gervin, three-star wide receiver Julian Major, three-star receiver Javez Alexander and three-star linebacker Edward Warinner. They will be on campus for the start of spring classes on Jan. 8.

Ja’Vez Alexander scanned the locker room and took a deep breath. He knew he wasn’t coming back for Sandusky’s first-round playoff game on Nov. 3 vs. Clyde at Strobel Field.

The senior quarterback had gone down with a serious leg injury shortly before and was headed across the street to Urgent Care at Firelands Regional Medical Center. But before walking out of the locker room, Alexander instinctively grabbed a marker and wrote on the smart board in front of him, ‘keep playing.’
