Key Traits from Week 1 Offensive Performances

Nick Dunneman

Jaden Craig
Jaden Craig 6'3" | 205 lbs | QB | 2022

These monster performances showcased these players’ many talents and possessed key traits that it takes to be successful at their respective positions. [player_tooltip player_id="135815" first="Jaden" last="Craig"] QB, Seton Hall Prep Key Traits: Playmaking on the move The senior QB finished the game 7-11 with 207 yards and 3 touchdowns; also rushing six times for 51 yards and three touchdowns. At one point in the first half, he was 3/3 with 3 touchdowns;  that level of efficiency was scary but what took this performance to freakishly good was the three rushing touchdowns Quarterbacks, become invaluable when they can dominate the air and the ground and [player_tooltip player_id="135815" first="Jaden" last="Craig"] was unstoppable against Union Prep. One aspect that jumped out, was the utilization of boot action. Seton Hall dominated on the ground and they used the boot action off of their dominant running game setup [player_tooltip player_id="135815" first="Jaden" last="Craig"] with easy throws that facilitated this amazing performance. [player_tooltip player_id="28013" first="Myles" last="Thomason"] HB,  Seton Hall Prep Key Traits: Forcing Missed tackle, Scheme Versatility He finished the game with 240 yards 3 touchdowns on 14 carries and just missing the single-game school record by only 50 yards. This almost record-breaking performance highlighted  Myles’s many impressive talents. [player_tooltip player_id="28013" first="Myles" last="Thomason"]’s ability to gain yards on zone and gap runs highlighted his scheme versatility; adding the most valuable skills at running back which is the ability to make defenders miss and gain yards after contact. He took advantage of great blocking by the offensive line and his natural ability on his way to a monster performance. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="und"><a href="https://t.co/Lg07ykCPlZ">pic.twitter.com/Lg07ykCPlZ</a></p> — [player_tooltip player_id="28013" first="Myles" last="Thomason"] (@MylesThomason) <a href="https://twitter.com/MylesThomason/status/1434361495002009603?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 5, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Santino Correa WR,  Bergen Catholic Key Traits: YAC, Route Running I once spoke to UNC Head Coach Mack Brown and he explained what separates you as a WR. His response was simply "If you cant make defenders miss after the catch it won’t work at WR". Santino Correa displayed this all game even taking a screen pass 93 yards for a touchdown on his way to a 3 reception 120 yards performance. Specifically, what stood out was a double move he ran from the slot. He ran a corner post where he patiently defeated the defender with his eyes. Using his eyes and shoulder to almost immediately get the defender out of position by faking the corner route, then using a quick pressure step to gain leverage on the post route. This young man has all the physical and mental tools to be a great wide receiver beyond his high school football career. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">My boy <a href="https://twitter.com/santino_correa3?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@santino_correa3</a> with the 93 yard TD!!!! ♥️ <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/thiskidforalways?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#thiskidforalways</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/proudcrusadermom?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#proudcrusadermom</a> #my#3 <a href="https://t.co/FzBFWoOMY6">pic.twitter.com/FzBFWoOMY6</a></p> — Sabrina Correa (@SabrinaMC913) <a href="https://twitter.com/SabrinaMC913/status/1434263007278813193?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 4, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> [player_tooltip player_id="160789" first="Nick" last="Dunneman"] WR, Seton Hall Prep Key Traits: Working through zones, Catching in traffic Every time I watch this young man I’m amazed at his ability to get open consistently, and against Union Hall, it was no different. He posted 3 catches for 43 yards and 3 touchdowns. Two of his touchdowns stood out; as Seton Hall Prep utilized boot action consistently. Dunneman, on his first touchdown, worked through zones and displayed the ability to sit down and find the holes in the open areas for touchdowns as he ran backside crossing routes. As I watched his tape before the season he consistently shows the ability to separate deep. He uses speed releases consistently at the line to win against one on one coverage, but in this game, he showed how complete he is as a wide receiver to get open by working through zones. Dunneman showed that he is one of the most well-rounded wide receivers in the state. Projecting to be a consistent separator in all levels of the field in any situation as he progresses through his football career. &nbsp;
