Senior Fim

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is November and that means many seasons are winding down and the post season has already started cranking up! It is a great time to be alive and an even better time to be a lover of football. It also means that Seniors are concluding their careers and most are getting their film highlights together in order to hopefully play at the next level, or just to preserve a special time in their life. When we put it into perspective senior highlight films really are an opportunity for a young man to proudly show what all of that time and effort was for. With that in mind I am excited to start taking a look at 2023 seniors as their Friday Night Light careers wind down. Hope you enjoy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='112113' first='Brandan' last='Lee']- (Park High School) 6'0 180 Lbs.

C/o 2023. @SR2023</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is some rawness to Sean's game which really gets you excited because he is nowhere near his ceiling yet.&nbsp; He is a long and fluid athlete who can impact a game in many places.&nbsp; His film shows offensive, defensive as well as a number of special teams reps.&nbsp; He is a very good return man but his ability to play on the coverage units as well gives you a multi-tool player.&nbsp; As he continues to develop his length and speed will be a matchup issue for teams on the perimeter.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='312923' first='Nolan' last='Israelson']- (Andover High School) 5'11 205 Lbs. C/o 2023. @NolanIsraelson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clip one and Nolan is timing up a blitz and leaping over the offensive line in a full-on swan dive!&nbsp; In the end that play may have been an offsides but it shows his passion for the game as well as an element of fearlessness.&nbsp; To me he presents as a true box linebacker.&nbsp; He has the athletic ability and effort to make plays outside the box but he is best when he is in the middle of the field.&nbsp; He understands blocking schemes and he does a great job of avoiding blocks and getting to the ball carrier.&nbsp; This is an exciting tackling machine in the middle of the field!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
