During my last visit, these recruits posted their highlight link in my Twitter thread. Upon review, I break down a “bit” of what I saw from newly named recruits who were not known to me prior to watching the film and are worthy of knowing. This preview includes recruits in all classes
Cordel Epale Cordel Epale 6’3″ | 180 lbs | DB Phillips Exeter NH. | 2024 State New E He has a lot of range being 6’3″ and playing defensive back. Plays physically in press-man coverage Has good field awareness to run support needs and knows when to come up to help. Reacts quickly to those needs. He tackles with a wrap and roll technique.
George Kelly George Kelly 5’10” | 195 lbs | RB St. Sebastian’s | 2026 State New E Has a nose for the end zone and knows how to find it. His film has many clips showing his skills such as speed, vision, agility, toughness. His explosive burst and acceleration from snap of the ball is excellent. He can split defenders by “changing gears” in open field. He finishes his runs with punishment and will likely win the battle. He is young and will only get much better as he continues to develop. Solid Recruit with a high ceiling!!!

Versatile athlete who can play both wide receiver -slot or defensive back. His film shows consistency in his skill set. No matter what defensive back position he is playing, he understands his responsibility when in the position. He reacts quickly to run or pass as a result of understanding his role. Tackles with a very low pad level.
