“Brody Drost is a dedicated and hard-working player. Since he was nine years old, I believed him to be the best player in the state and one of the best in the nation. He has proved me correct as he continues to progress. He is a player that does everything well on the field. He’s as close to a five-tool player as I’ve seen at his age.”
