PRZJordan’s Week 2 Road Trip: Lincoln-Way East Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For Week 2, I traveled out to Lincoln-Way East to see them take on another powerhouse in Batavia. Lincoln-Way East came out on top with a victory winning 31 to 16. With that being said, there are talented young men on both teams and we're here to highlight these young men. In this article, we're going to take a look at Lincoln-Way East Standouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Be sure to follow&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://twitter.com/PRZJordan" target="_blank">@PRZJordan</a>&nbsp; &amp;&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://twitter.com/prepredzoneIL" target="_blank">@PrepRedzoneIL</a>&nbsp;regarding news &amp; information for IHSA Football</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center","fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center has-large-font-size"><strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://prepredzone.com/illinois/rankings/2023-rankings/" target="_blank">Find our Latest Rankings Update HERE!</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center","fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center has-large-font-size"><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0-K6zpX2JQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Game Highlights &amp; Recap</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_631364eb101ca","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["131525"],"_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":"u003cimg class=u0022size-medium wp-image-435380 aligncenteru0022 src=u0022https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/09/IMG_8397-225x300.jpegu0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022225u0022 height=u0022300u0022 /u003eMr. Scianna balled out Friday night showcasing why he's the #2 LB in the State for the Class of 2023. His ability to trigger downhill quickly in close space to meet the ball carrier at the line of scrimmage and disrupt plays in the backfield is second to none. There was an array of talent on the defensive side of the ball for the Griffins but his impact was felt on each play. If you try to run outside the tackle he can cover sideline to sideline not allowing the ball carrier to cut upfield. Safe to say Lincoln-Way East is happy to have Jake u0022The Razoru0022 Scianna holding down their mike linebacker position. Most recently picked up offers from the University of St. Thomas and Western Illinois University. Wherever Mr. Scianna takes his talent to the next level, he's going to make his mark and will be a great addition to any team. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/JakeSciannau0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499feac00165"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PRZJordan/status/1565854409145417731?s=20u0026t=KmGZALEQRp9Os7mk7upPaA","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/PRZJordan/status/1565854409145417731?s=20u0026t=KmGZALEQRp9Os7mk7upPaA </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63136503101cb","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["267882"],"_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":"Mr. Cook took over the X receiver role as u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eStandout 22' Jack Tremblayu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e headed to Central Michigan University. His ability to go up for 50/50 balls securing contested catches is one to keep an eye on. Throughout the night he did just that by playing above the rim and in one instance he broke the grab tackle and got into the endzone for six. There was another play where he did the same thing on the deep shot downfield but the touchdown was called back by a penalty in the backfield.

He took the RPO himself for a 58-yard TD as he outran 2nd level defenders. This young man also does a good job adding touch on the ball lofting the ball over the defender's head for the completion. What's impressive is his ability to stand strong in the pocket getting the ball off right as a defender is in his face for the completion downfield. This was seen when he was making level 1, level 2, and level 3 throws to keep the chains moving.

His ability to use his quick punch to jolt defenders upright when blocking in-line is one to watch. In pass protection, he gets set to block quickly and can either absorb the bull rush or tie up the swim move by getting his hands inside with a quick punch. What's also impressive about this young man is how he can work either as an OC or an OG and not miss a step with the impact he'll bring to the O-Line. Currently, he holds 3 MAC Offers and I expect more to come his way once this season is concluded. Another high potential young man the Griffins have. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/JanowskiJoshu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499feac00222"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_631365fd101d0","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Caden O'Rourke","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lincoln-Way East","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"It was my first time Mr. O'Rourke LIVE in action and my oh my he put on quite the performance.

The clip is below for your viewing where he finds the tipped pass and is able to secure it for an interception. Not only does he come away with the pick, he then showcases his foot quicks getting into the endzone for six.

His ability to plug gaps in run support and slip blocks to disrupt plays in the backfield was impressive to say the least. What stands out to me the most about this young man is how he continues to work through the whistle no matter what. There were countless plays, like the one below, where initially he wouldn't get through into the backfield. By continuing to work through the whistle he was able to generate pressure on the opposing QB on more than one occasion and flush him out of the pocket to make a throw under duress. The tandem that the Griffin's have in their front seven, I believe, can go head to head with any team in the state.

Working out of the slot this fall, he can create mismatches against outside linebackers as well as nickel corners. He does so by being quick in/out of his breaks at the top of his routes and using his 4.47 40 speed to close space on the defender playing in off coverage. What was impressive about his route running on the TD he scored was how he was able to slightly gain inside leverage against the linebacker which was just enough to create a window for his QB to hit him in stride for six.
