10 things to know as football recruiting is heating up for Central Indiana prospects

There has been a flurry of commitments from Central Indiana football players over the past few days, including Israel Oladipupo picking Boston College and Eugene Hilton Jr., choosing Wisconsin.

Here are 10 more things to know in local football recruiting in a busy June:

∎ Westfield quarterback Carsen Melvin committed to Bowling Green. The 6-4, 205-pound Melvin was a backup last season to senior Jackson Gilbert, completing 8-for-16 passing for 78 yards and rushing for 57 yards in four games.

As a freshman at Plainfield, Melvin completed 61.3% of his passes for 1,638 yards and 16 touchdowns and rushed for 104 yards and three TDs.
