Prospect Report: Anthony Wayne

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Anthony Wayne Generals finished the 2021 season with a 9-3 record and a birth in the second round of the OHSAA playoffs. AW brings back plenty of firepower from their 2021 roster, including the reigning Northern Lakes League MVP in running back [player_tooltip player_id="274391" first="Joe" last="Caswell"] and star defensive back &amp; Bucknell commit England Allen. One name to keep an eye on is rising sophomore quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="284922" first="Grant" last="Kinnee"]; he saw limited varsity action last fall, but when he did, he flourished. Look for the generals to reload yet again in 2022 and be the favorite to clinch the Northern Lakes League title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>RB: [player_tooltip player_id="274391" first="Joe" last="Caswell"], 6' 195, SR</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Vision is off the charts.</li><li>Shows a poised running style through chaos.</li><li>Turns physical when the time calls for it.</li><li>Has the balance &amp; body control to withstand the force of multiple tacklers. </li><li>Is a major factor in the passing game.</li><li>Finished 2021 with 1,898 total yards &amp; 29 TDs.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>DB: England Allen, 5'10" 165, SR</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Fantastic ball skills.</li><li>Eats up short-intermediate routes.</li><li>Loose hips lead to a natural feel working out of a shuffle.</li><li>A more than willing tackler out on the perimeter.</li><li>Overlaps in zone coverage to give help if there is no threat present. </li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>QB: [player_tooltip player_id="284922" first="Grant" last="Kinnee"], 6'2" 175, SO</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Already has varsity experience under his belt.</li><li>Is a major factor on called quarterback runs</li><li>Long strides lead to some serious speed.</li><li>Shows solid timing and touch</li><li>Nasty change of direction for a quarterback. </li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>OL: Dillon Robinson, 6'4" 265, JR</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Has prototypical size for the division one level.</li><li>Will roll his hips on contact.</li><li>Can create vertical displacement at times. </li><li>Takes pride in finishing off blocks.</li><li>Is a bit raw but has a ton of tools he can tap into over the next two seasons.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>WR: Winn Sharp, 6'3" 170, JR</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Has an innate ability to make plays in traffic.</li><li>Easily adjusts to make catches on poorly thrown balls.</li><li>Is a downright violent blocker. </li><li>Goes up and high points the 50/50 ball.</li><li>A natural at expecting and executing the back shoulder fade.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-wide"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>DB: Carson Spradlin, 6' 170, SR</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Feet stay tight coming out of his breaks.</li><li>Reading the quarterback's body language leads to picks on tips &amp; overthrows. </li><li>Plays a patient brand of football, seeing everything develop before triggering to make a play.</li><li>Has the patience and recovery speed to play man in the slot.</li><li>Proved that he has no issues coming up and making tackles from a two-high shell.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
