💎Diamonds In The Rough C/O 2023: Pt 9

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Western Pennsylvania is a region that's rich with football talent yearly. The transfer portal has altered recruiting for high school prospects in terms of visibility. Due to the abundance of eligible recruits, some high school athletes have become recruiting collateral damage. I'm going to be highlighting some of the underrated or unheralded prospects around western pa in the 2023 &amp; 2024 classes. These recruits spotlighted are either uncommitted or haven't been offered altogether in a lot of cases. These gems will be introduced in a series of articles to adequately spotlight their abilities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_636464ec4e044","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["160472"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eAidan's been getting recruited by D1 u0026amp; D2 programs mostly.

Currie possesses good size u0026amp; speed overall for collegiate football in general. The 23' athlete runs above-average routes for a TE. Aidan displays strong hands receiving the football u0026amp; run blocks well. Defensively, he shows lateral quickness in run pursuit.

His size is prototypical for the position at 6'0 178 pounds. The senior Corner is aggressive occasionally, but he's typically patient in press coverage. Rylan displays good play recognition and anticipation breaking on the football. He's physical enough to get TFLs on stretch runs u0026amp; screen passes. Jeter is patient in press man versus wide-outs who use a lot of release moves. CV's 23' CB plays man coverage well overall, and his ball skills are adequate. Rylan is capable of being a regular Special Teams contributor collegiately.u003cspan class=u0022Apple-converted-spaceu0022u003e u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RylanJeter/status/1584359849827373059?s=20u0026t=e-kRp8BGf95kw0HXicqSHw","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/RylanJeter/status/1584359849827373059?s=20&amp;t=e-kRp8BGf95kw0HXicqSHw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6364669a4e046","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":"Shawn Solomon Jr. ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Brashear","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Football ","_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eShawn has received D2 offers from Clarion, West Liberty, and Wheeling. The City-League back runs with good speed u0026amp; body control. Shawn keeps good lean rushing the ball, and he usually falls forward for a positive gain. Brashear's senior back displays good balance and strength when he breaks tackles. Solomon is dangerous out of the backfield as a receiver. He's a matchup problem for Linebackers in man coverage. Shawn has the bulk at 5'10 200 pounds for pass protecting on the next level. I believe Shawn is particularly suited for running between the tackles in college. He finished his senior campaign with 188 carries, 1034 yds, 11 TDs, and 2 ints.u003cspan class=u0022Apple-converted-spaceu0022u003e u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ShawnSolomonJr_/status/1582772565231009796?s=20u0026t=e-kRp8BGf95kw0HXicqSHw","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/ShawnSolomonJr_/status/1582772565231009796?s=20&amp;t=e-kRp8BGf95kw0HXicqSHw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_636467a24e049","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["248863"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eCrowder has fielded offers from D2 Fairmont State u0026amp; Walsh. He's strong u0026amp; physical in most situations on the gridiron. Naquan fires out of his stance quickly, causing a big collision on both sides of the ball. Quip's senior Lineman shows decent mobility pulling and finishing opposing players to the grass. Crowder is strong enough to drive O-Lineman back at D-tackle. Offensively, he's powerful enough to drive D-lineman out of the box. Naquan's hand placement blocking helps him latch onto defenders. Once the senior lineman gets his weight behind a block the defender doesn't stand a chance.u003cspan class=u0022Apple-converted-spaceu0022u003e u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/crowder_naquan/status/1579472525100449793?s=20u0026t=e-kRp8BGf95kw0HXicqSHw","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/crowder_naquan/status/1579472525100449793?s=20&amp;t=e-kRp8BGf95kw0HXicqSHw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_636468944e04a","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":"Keilly Rush ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Elizabeth Forward ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Football ","_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eKeilly has been receiving D1 u0026amp; D2 interests to play DB.

Rush displays good footwork u0026amp; fluid hips bailing in cover 3. He showed his ball skills on a pick 6 from earlier this season. His physicality tackling gives him the possibility of playing Corner or Safety on the next level. Keilly's active in run support, u0026amp; he tackles in space well.
