Bishop Hartley – 2021 Talent is loaded

Right <span style="font-size: 1rem;">out of the gate on Friday night,</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> Bishop Hartley matched up with perennial Cincinnati powerhouse Archbishop Moeller.  The Hawks came up short but are loaded with talent in the 2021 class.</span> #78 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="34281" first="Jake" last="Skelly"]</strong> (Sr.) OT, 6’4 250 - Jake is committed to the Ohio University and shined against one of the best DL’s he will face all year.  Quick off the snap with great low pad level and leverage.  Finished blocks through the whistle and made his presence felt time and time again.  He has good technique as a run blocker and his foot quickness will help him transition well into the college game in regard to pass blocking.  Has room to grow and tremendous upside. #7 <strong>Sumo Kesselly</strong> (Sr.) RB, 6’0 210 - Sumo is a battering ram of a running back.  Bishop Hartley is a run oriented team and counted on Sumo to get the tough yards on critical downs.  Runs with low pad level and delivers blows forward.  When asked to lead block he ran through defenders with inside hand placement. 3.2 GPA.  Sumo is a player who deserves a close look on tape. #30 <strong>Marcelis Parker</strong> (Sr.) LB, 6’1 235 - Marcelis’ name was repeatedly mentioned by the PA announcer because he was always around the ball.  He possesses the size and athleticism to play LB or transition to DE at the college level.  Patient in the box, takes on blocks with low leverage, violent shedder, and sure tackler.  Currently no known offers but worth every opportunity. #57 <strong>James Crenshaw</strong> (Sr.) OL, 6’0 230 - James was a road grader at guard.  His nasty blocking demeanor was evident vs a very talented DL.  Played with great knee/hip bend.  Quick first and second step.  I was impressed with his hustle both when the play was at him or away.  Fires his hands up and through defenders. #17 <strong>Ryan Hawk</strong> (Sr.) K, 6’0 175 - Ryan possesses the leg to be a very good college kicker.  His timing was very good in his approach on FG’s and EP’s.  Ball exploded off his foot with good height over the cross bar.  Was asked to squib on kickoffs.  I was impressed with his ability to be locked into the game and maximize his limited opportunities in inclement weather. &nbsp;
