May is always a busy month for college recruiting, and this year is no different.

Even as the recruiting process has evolved in the transfer portal and name, image and likeness payment era, spring is still the time for players to get out and be seen by colleges.

Three area players in the class of 2026 have verbally committed to Division I FBS schools — Lakota West linebacker Cam Thomas (Illinois), Xenia receiver Shawn Fishwick (Eastern Michigan) and Middletown defensive back Jordan Vann (Virginia) — while dozens more have reported receiving at least one FBS offer.

Lakota West senior-to-be athlete Tyson Davis joined that list over the weekend when he picked up an offer from Southern Mississippi along with two teammates in the class of 2027: running back Kenyon Norman and tight end/offensive tackle prospect Xavier Ratica.

Also adding FBS offers recently in the class of ’26 were Chaminade Julienne lineman Elijah Berman (Marshall) and Lebanon tight end Nick Lautar (Wisconsin) along with three players from Trotwood-Madison: linebacker Justice Taylor, receiver Armani Rogers and linebacker Tresten Nichols. That trio all got Western Michigan offers.

In the class of 2027, Centerville defensive back Ziere Alston and Beavercreek defensive back Jamison Webster both received their second offers.

Alston added Wisconsin to one from Toledo while Webster also got an offer from the Rockets after receiving his first from Western Michigan.

The class of 2028 also had players reporting recent FBS offers as Kent State extended one to Middletown defensive end Jaiden Davis, and Trotwood-Madison lineman Chandler Moore added one from Toledo.

Here is the full list of activity players have reported over the past couple of weeks:
