NE Ohio’s Shaker Heights Preview

Shaker Heights finished with a 1-7 record in the pandemic shortened season.  They are poised to make a run with a significant 2022 class. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Shaker Heights</span></strong> <strong>Thomas Dunn</strong> LB/WR/TE 6'3 220 - Tommy is an absolute beast of a LB.  Almost unblockable on most plays.  Has great athleticism, skills, and twitch.  Reads plays at a really high level.  Is in his gap and around the ball routinely.  He makes great tackles and unloads on ball carriers.  Great hips in pass coverage and has the speed to run the seams.  He attacks the ball in the air.  Outstanding blitzer and relentless to the QB. HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12836163/Thomas-Dunn">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12836163/Thomas-Dunn</a> <strong>Adam Diaz</strong> QB 5'10 180 - Adam is a very good dual threat QB with great speed and a quick release.  Has command of the offense and not afraid to spin the ball in tight spaces.  He throws really good deep routes over the coverage and drops it in the hands of his receivers.  When he runs the ball he looks like an above average RB.  Tough to tackle with a low center of gravity.  Great wiggle in the open field.  Can run a variety of plays with good technique. HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11223852/Adam-Diaz">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11223852/Adam-Diaz</a> <strong>Hasim Rashid</strong> DL 6'3 250 - Great quickness off the snap with strong lockouts and punch.  Plays the run very well; gets to his gap and anchors down.  Escapes blocks with ease and makes powerful tackles.  Works well down the LOS on ball away.  Relentless pass rusher with good sense of bending back to the QB with proper rush mechanics.

Gets in his gap and stays there until the ball declares.  Very athletic for a big player and escapes blocks and makes good tackles.  He is a good pass rusher with a good bull rush.  As he gets older he will slim down and be more of a force to be reckoned with. HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12324204/Hasim-Rashid">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12324204/Hasim-Rashid</a> <strong>Devon Jefferson</strong> OL 6'4 265 - Two sport star for Shaker.  Very athletic tackle with good feet and hips.  Uses leverage to his advantage and drives defenders off the ball easily.  Devastating punch with good pop and lift.  Good pass blocker with proper technique and spacing.  Keeps his shoulders square with a good base.  Very impressive athlete for his size. HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11860819/Devon-Jefferson">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11860819/Devon-Jefferson</a> <strong>Brandon Jolly</strong> RB 5'10 205 - Brandon is a great football player and deserves a good look on film.  Fast and athletic with the ball in his hands.  Can score on any play.  Has really good vision and burst inside of the tackles.  Gets in the crease quickly and accelerates to the second level.  Good hands in the screen game.  Great open field wiggle when needed but has the ability to run defenders over.
