I've followed NE Ohio high school football for 40 years. Every so often, I run across a player, who "falls through the cracks" when it comes to being recruited. Four years ago, I watched a running back named Kareem Hunt, nobody recruited him. After watching him play, I started a thread about him on Buckeye Planet
Hunt ended up at Toledo and today, CBS Sports considers him to be the sixth best back in the 2016 NFL draft.

This year, there is a wide receiver Jason Blizzard, at Mentor High School who fits the description. Mentor, has the largest enrollment in the state of Ohio. Blizzard leads the state of Ohio in receiving yards, and is number thirteenth nationally. Nine of the players ranked ahead of him have played at least one more game than he has, some two games.

Three weeks ago, Mentor played eleven time, big school, state champion, Cleveland St Ignatius. Blizzard had 14 receptions for 342 yards and 87 yards rushing, That is the third highest receiving total in the history of Ohio high school football. Blizzard never filled out any of the recruiting forms or attended any camps, as a result he's getting almost no attention. I doubt OSU ever heard of him, you guys may want to take a look?
