An "Athlete" is&nbsp;a player with well-rounded skills that enable them to play multiple skilled positions on the field. We identified these young men for their superior athletic skills shown early in their Varsity campaigns. As a result of their early successes, we feel with growth and future development these athletes will easily become top recruits within New England Region that many college coaches will want to know about if they don't already know about them today. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62fd188ed2bcf","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["399295"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"He is as solid as they come!!!  He has early recognition on the defensive side of the ball but with future growth and development, he could fill other skill positions at the next level.

He has next level speed already and he can play both DB and WR.  On Defense he does a great job on run support needed plays by coming up with a physical presence when needed.  He is a great defender who does well by going up high to get the ball. While doing so, he has shown he will likely come down with the ball. He has this same skill set while playing receiver also.  His hands are solid. He currently ranked as our 3rd best athlete in the 2024 New England region. His recruitment will likely blow up with college interest during his upcoming jr season or immediately thereafter.  He is currently our number 3 ranked “athlete” in the Prep Redzone New England region.

Those accolades earned him All ISL Honors  and All NEPSAC honorable mention as a sophomore. His film shows he has a high ceiling as he will likely get much bigger faster and stronger before any colleges get him on their campus. He is a smooth rout runner thats gives a nice target to his qb.  Solid hands are also visible.  On defense he plays the edge well with a motor.  He plays to the whistle and seems to always put himself in positions to make plays. He is currently ranked as our 4th best athlete in the 2024 from the New England region.  A solid Jr season could be a breakout college interest year in 2022.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/mccray_diego/status/1534920511125348352?s=20u0026t=R7AIxNVck6WJM5PDoJ-5yg","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/mccray_diego/status/1534920511125348352?s=20&amp;t=R7AIxNVck6WJM5PDoJ-5yg </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
