Aliquippa has a Trio of FCS Level Talent
WPIAL Insider
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Aliquippa is a hotbed in Western PA known for producing elite P5 talent for such a small school. This year, they have a trio of FCS level players any coach would love to have. Heading to ‘The Pit’ is well worth the trip for a lot of teams this year.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Their 6’1 205 LB [player_tooltip player_id="27248" first="Anthony" last="Jackson"] hunts ball carriers. Probably transitions to an inside backer at the next level but he could potentially move to boundary backer. He is a great tackler and builds a force point well.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>He is okay in pass coverage and has good speed but he is better suited to stop the run and pressure the QB.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">[player_tooltip player_id="27351" first="Paris" last="Bunridge"] is a 6’5 305 Offensive Lineman that probably is best suited for tackle at the next level. He isn’t that well put together and has some weight to lose but he punches well and is strong. His feet are okay, but he is a willing blocker that with the right development and body transformation will be a multi year starter at the next level.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Vernon Reid may be the best of this bunch. The 6’0 160 DB can play corner or safety depending on scheme. He has good ball skills and breaks on the ball very well. He comes downhill and helps in run support willingly.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>He is not afraid of collision. He might be a little bit stiff for a corner but he is on the taller side and has long arms to make up for it.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>He also possesses good speed and instincts. </span></p>
