WATCH: Ohio State 5-star WR commit Brandon Inniss scores long touchdown
Miami Gardens (Fla.) American Heritage five-star wide receiver Brandon Inniss is one of the top offensive players in the 2023 class. The Ohio State commit showcased his speed and athleticism on Friday night.
Inniss caught a screen pass from his quarterback and evaded multiple defenders. He then crossed the goal line before he was brought down in the end zone.
Earlier in the game, Inniss was lined up at safety and forced a fumble on a hard hit. American Heritage recovered the loose ball.
A 5-foot-11.5, 189 pound wideout, Inniss is the No. 18 overall prospect and No. 3 wide receiver in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 4 player in Florida.
He is the top player in the Buckeyes’ 2023 recruiting class, which ranks No. 3 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 1 in the Big Ten. Ohio State’s group also contains Chicago (Ill.) IMG Academy four-star wide receiver Carnell Tate and Rolesville (N.C.) four-star wide receiver Noah Rogers. All three wideouts are top-45 prospects and the three highest-rated recruits in the Buckeyes’ class.
Inniss has an On3 NIL Valuation of $327K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Brandon Inniss On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Brandon Inniss:
“Developed wide receiver who has been on the national radar dating back to middle school. Emerged as a college prospect while playing on varsity as an eighth grader. Has a technically advanced skill set. Has high-level quickness both in his releases and at the top of his routes. Can break off defensive backs with his change of direction. Competitive and embraces matchups with other top prospects. A standout on the camp and 7-on-7 circuit. Tests as a good athlete in the combine setting.
“Not as productive as some other top receivers as a junior in part due to being forced to play quarterback for part of the season. Has a tendency to let the ball get into his body at times, but has shown more high-point ability as a junior. Fights for yardage after the catch. Has the look of a high-floor prospect who should be set up to contribute early in his college career.”
