You can add another feather in the cap of the 2022 Ohio State football recruiting class. Dasan McCullough has been named the player of the year in the state of Kansas as a high school junior.
While Kansas high school football may not be as revered as in states like Ohio, Texas, California, and Florida, there is still something to be said for being named the best player in your state. I get it… Kansas is known more for its basketball than football, but that doesn’t mean the Sunflower State can’t put out some talent on the gridiron.
McCullough is listed as a four-star athlete, but will most likely play at the linebacker position for the Buckeyes. He finished this past season with 75 tackles, four interceptions, and four forced fumbles while leading Blue Valley North high school to the 6A state championship with a runner-up finish.

McCullough already comes in at 6-foot, 5-inches, and 220-pounds as a junior in high school and has room to grow. He’s ranked as the No. 6 best athlete in the country and No. 54 player overall according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He is the son of Kansas City Chiefs running backs coach, Deland McCullough.
