Top 10 Ohio QBs for 2023 high school football season
2. Ethan Grunkemeyer, Sr., Olentangy
A year ago at this time, Grunkemeyer may not have even cracked the list of the top 10 quarterbacks in Ohio, let alone be in the top two. But after a breakout junior season at Olentangy, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound quarterback has proved he deserves to be ranked as one of the top quarterbacks in the Buckeye State. Last season, Grunkemeyer threw for 2,659 yards, the second-consecutive season he threw for over 2,000 yards for the Braves. He also threw for 25 touchdowns and compiled 29 scores overall while completing passes at a 64.2% clip. Now rated as a nationally in the Class of 2024, Grunkemeyer will follow in the footsteps of Drew Allar – another former Ohio high school quarterback who had a rapid emergence – to Penn State next year.
Penn St commit Ethan Grunkemeyer, fresh off an excellent finals performance, is back at work preparing for his senior year. The work habits he’s built and the focus & discipline he takes into these sessions is so impressive. This is what elite people do! 🎯💪🌪
