[player_tooltip player_id='140947' first='Elijah' last='Beaty'] has matured into one of the more technically sound corners you can find in Eastern Pennsylvania. Beaty has developed just like we expected, this senior year being a vast improvement on already one of the better junior tapes you'll watch. Just his second year as a starter, already proving he can run with speed and match muscle with muscle. At this point in his evaluation, I am trying to poke holes in this kid's game. What doesn't the tape prove? The competition level is high night in and night out. He's part of a winning program. He can run with kids on the field and in a camp/combine setting. He's seasoned in DB tech, he's an outstanding worker. Ball skills are good enough, fluid feet, flexible hips. The young man is ready to be molded to college coaches liking. He could change the direction of a recruiting class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/elijahbeaty247/status/1589432532743122945?s=20u0026t=wP4X5DXdgkWEz9MvsOmbTw","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/elijahbeaty247/status/1589432532743122945?s=20&amp;t=wP4X5DXdgkWEz9MvsOmbTw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["358116"],"_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":"This rank is going to change.

Watch Sweeney move when returning kicks, I refuse to believe he has no offers with tape this good. I usually scream to the mountain tops that kids could make money with a permanent move to DB, especially a kid with the frame Sweeney possesses. That being said, I like this kid's playmaking ability too much to leave him off the offensive side of the field. Who cares what I think, someone needs to make this kid a priority.

Game-wrecking blend of strength and speed. Incredible balance through the trenches. His second-gear will translate to the next level. Many bigger backs look unnatural in space, G doesn't.

This list is full of phenomenal athletes, I don't think any match Kamara's full spectrum of athleticism. I'll leave projecting a future position up to whoever inevitably picks him up. Quite the problem to have. Ball skills, incredible hand-eye coordination, and rockets under his feet to sky over kids for balls. Watching him play, at times you can't help but shake your head and laugh. He's got a bit of magic to him, improvisational skills on the go are special. I advise watching his full junior tape when going to see what he's about. He's a 4.0 student as well.

A tank of a running back with some of the best power and balance I've seen from any back in his class.

He's a true u0022diamond-in-the-roughu0022 that only the best recruiters will find. I know recruiting in Philly is tough.

Come watch a Chichester or Upper Dublin game. Look at the production, look at the film. You won't find a young man with a bigger chip on his shoulder. Ball skills, and confidence that is necessary for the position he plays. Cerebral when utilizing all areas of the field to shut kids down in the passing game. An athlete with the ball in his hands as well. Being real, it'll be tough to turn an FCS-level program around and convince them of a kid Reaves size.

How about 150 tackles from his linebacker spot, athletic enough to produce at all three LB spots if need be. How about 17 TFLs and numerous game-changing hits.

Watch what he's capable of doing at RB/WR/TE and you'll see why guys like me are so high on the young man. 1,000-yard rusher, with capable hands.
