Continue ReadingAs we head toward the 2022 Fall season, many top recruits have a fair understanding of where they will likely fall in the recruiting game. A vast majority have attended summer college camps and also submitted their jr film to coaches at schools they would like to attend. Some recruits without any fault of their own, are not well educated in the process as to how to market their abilities to get on a college radar for recruitment. Therefor, they fall under the recruiting radar and dont get the attention they deserve. What ever the reason maybe, New England Prep Redzone regional scouts have identified linebackers currently without an offer, and who we feel are worthy of an opportunity at the next level. We will do this no specific order.
“Peterson” is a Linebacker recruit who we got alerted to after our initial launch of Prep Redzone New England. Therefore, he was never evaluated in the 2023 rankings that are currently being displayed on the website. Pushing forward, he belongs within our rankings and will be added to our 2023 rankings on the next release toward the end of the fall 2022 season. The first 5 clips of jr film, show Nicks’s sideline-to-sideline range. He is a vicious tackler. He’s so quick through the gala, even if he happens to over-pursue, he shows extreme effort to still follow the ball carrier. His motor is continuous. Plays with pure aggression. An inside LB that will make the ball carrier feel the thump. A productive senior season will likely put him over the hump as he has a slew of D1 programs including IVY League teams, showing interest. Many D2-D3 schools will likely check him out during and after senior campaign. His film is impressive!!!
Highlights
Shorette has good instincts. On snap of the ball at LB he reads pass/run and reacts quickly to make the play. Playing the edge his hands are used to keep defenders away and shed his blockers to keep the edge. Shows decent technique that can be developed. He penetrates line of scrimmage easily with his strength. Keeps a low pad level when tackling and rarely over pursues. A team Captain and earned All Conference honors in 2021. A productive senior season will likely get him opportunities that could lead top offers.
Highlights
Rivera can cover well from the OLB position. On film he shows hustle and quickness to react to the ball carrier. He takes on blocks and being an un-blockable defender is the stuff that legends are made of. Has good tackling abilities. Aggression is shown in many defensive plays. Does a good job setting the edge. Has good use of his hands while shedding his blocker. He is in communication with Stonehill, Merrimack, New Haven, Southern Connecticut, Central Connecticut, Bryant, Wagner, UMaine, and AIC. A solid senior production will likely get him some offers. Projected to get D2/D1 looks after a solid senior season.
Has good awareness and ability to quickly read pass or run is good. His feet are always moving while pursuing the ball carrier. He is a low tackler with strength. He is seen knocking blockers and ball-carriers backward and/or off their feet. He is instinctive and plays downhill in the run game. He does his job and gives relentless effort. He has been confirmed 40 Yard Dash 4.7 and a shuttle 5-10-5 4.09 Projected to be a D1-FCS/D2 recruit. A early strong senior showing could get him the offer he deserves.
