Midway through the season, we had some players put up some big time performances. Here is who we liked from this week’s action: Kenny Fine - Frazier - RB: He put up big numbers this week and has been the workhorse for Frazier. Being at a small school that usually is not recruited, he has flew under the radar. His change of direction is really his best trait. He can play at a smaller school and help. [player_tooltip player_id="27242" first="Reis" last="Watkins"] - Shenango - ATH: The do-it-all player for Shenango, he falls into the category like Kenny Fine above. He is at a school that is usually not recruited but Watkins is putting up some tape and he has legit size and frame. He would probably be a D2 prospect, and we project him best at OLB. He moves well and shows athleticism. He can cover at the next level. [player_tooltip player_id="27380" first="Rashawn" last="Reid"] - Rochester - RB: Another Rochester Athlete, he and ‘22 Denny Robinson have been putting on a show. He is an electric back that is very productive. Can be used for gadget plays at the next level, we project him at the D2/D3 level. [player_tooltip player_id="27355" first="Eli" last="Jochem"] - Pine-Richland - WR: The most polished player on the list today, Jochem is a playmaker in the slot and terrorizes linebackers that line up on him. He catches everything you throw at him. His change of direction and burst are well above average which gives him the ability to separate. He could play at the FCS level. Joe Houck - Upper St Clair - DE: The biggest project on the list, Houck has a 6’4 210 frame. His best football is ahead of him. He has a good motor and is a try hard guy but his athleticism is limited. He shows the ability to shed blocks and make plays using his length but his change of direction and speed limit him. He is a small school guy who could be a gem with some work.
