PRZJordan’s Week 8 Twitter Mania Here and Now Pt. 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each week we're going to be heading to Twitter to do film analysis on players across Illinois no matter what classification they're in nor the college projection. That's what we're all about here at Prep Redzone, covering as many young men as possible. Without further ado, let's dive into Twitter Mania Here and Now Pt. 1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>____________________</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size"><strong>Use Code JordanAmaskane30 for 30% OFF your subscription today!</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size" id="block-c7d4c208-63fa-41a2-ad6e-abf1808f2822"><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":"medium"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size" id="block-7a314ae9-8013-45e3-9115-31941adb5b6b"><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 --> <p>____________________</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6346f7c4ab240","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["453209"],"_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. McThenia has a great connection with the highly sought-after [player_tooltip player_id='271314' first='Christian' last='Bentancur'] in the air attack. This young man's ability to put the ball just outside the reach of defenders where his man can secure the catch is one to keep a close eye on. What stands out the most about this young man is how he can add a touch to level 2 and level 3 throws threading the needle in tight coverage.  This young man also flashes his ability to stand strong to get the ball off under pressure as well as being able to pull the ball down to scramble to keep the chains moving. This is a young man that has a high upside and I'm very excited to see how he performs for the rest of this fall season. u003cstrongu003eu003cemu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/CMctheniau0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fe7096625"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_6346f815ab241","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14719614/633a00893863870120bd58c4' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fe7096643"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6346f827ab242","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["272181"],"_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. Cushing can work both as a defensive tackle as well as a defensive end on the defensive front.

His speed rush is one to keep an eye on as he flashes his ability to have a quick first step out of his stance and slip blocks to generate QB pressure. All in all, I'm liking what I'm seeing out of this young man so far this fall season. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/CushingLukeu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fe7096666"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_6346f86dab243","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/13170812/63366a682ab07308141ba682' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fe7096677"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6346f87cab244","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["158066"],"_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. King can work as an outside linebacker and flashes his ability to scrape off the edge to disrupt plays in the backfield. Once he commits to the run he can close quickly to secure tackles in the backfield as well as meet ball carriers at the line of scrimmage for no gain at times. What I'm interested to see for the remainder of the season and in the playoffs is how consistent he can be in shooting gaps to disrupt plays in the backfield - could be an x-factor in this regard to come up big for his team. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/mking_elite23u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fe7096697"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_6346f8afab245","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14600387/631e711bf56a7c054ca807d1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fe70966a7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6347309fab246","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":"Joe Pettit","_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":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Geneva","_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":"Mr. Pettit can square pull being a lead blocker through the hole to create a running lane for his ball carrier. He also flashes his ability to work in-line and continue working through the whistle. What I'm interested to see more of is his pass protection as his flashes have caught my eye. More specifically, if there's nobody in front of him he's shown flashes of being able to turn his hips and triggers to the nearest rushing defender to put them into the dirt. The flashes this young man shows give an insight into the potential that this young man has for the remainder of his high school career. As he continues to develop, I'm going to be keeping a close eye on this young man. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/JoePettit12u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fe70966da"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_634730dfab247","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16196661/632ff3c1bed74708b07a5dbf' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fe70966eb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_634730f1ab248","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":"Connor Dennis","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Boylan Catholic","_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":"Mr. Dennis does a good job of getting the ball out quickly and driving off his back foot to add zip on the ball.
