Highlights
Cosmo Fusco Cosmo Fusco 6'4" | 245 lbs | DL Mountain Lakes | 2024 NJ plays with a relentless motor. Wreaking havoc as an edge rusher, Fusco is dominant when it comes to making plays in the backfield and putting pressure on the quarterback. Fusco stands at 6’4 240 pounds and uses his size well, he’s able to consistently push the pocket as a pass rusher and has some solid moves while cornering.
He has great pop in his hands on initial contact and does a great job of winning the leverage battle at the line of scrimmage. As a run defender, he does a great job anchoring at the point of attack and neutralizing blocks.
College football is in his future as a pocket-pushing, block-neutralizing defensive lineman, but he needs to add more weight to deal with offensive linemen that will be significantly bigger than him at his current size.
Highlights
Kendall has improved, dramatically, since I initially watched him and has one of the prettiest deep balls in his class. That is where Kendall excels, throwing one-step or three-step go balls reminiscent of North Carolina’s offense where current Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell threw go balls or RPO slants.
Kendall does have a diversified bag of throws on his tape where you can see how much he’s improved, specifically with his accuracy. However, I would like to see him execute more concepts on the run. With how much the college game is asking quarterbacks to be more mobile and would like to see him continue to get bigger.
Cormac doesn’t have much tape out there, but what stands out immediately is his size. At 6’2 190 pounds Cormac has good mobility and can make plays with his legs.
He can be a high-end quarterback prospect, but I can tell he needs ALOT of coaching. Selfishly, I would like to see him get a personal quarterback coach and diligently hone in on learning the quarterback craft. He has uncanny tools that can potentially be molded into a Power 5 quarterback.
William also doesn’t have a lot of tape. However, the one scrimmage he has on tape leaves lots of things to like. Specifically, his burst I thought he had great burst when he hitting the hole. Also showed good decisiveness and good vision on most of his runs.
One thing that consistently bothered me, is that as a running back that’s only 5’7. What’s unacceptable is he consistently goes down on first contact. Therefore, my feedback for him is to go hard on improving his contact balance.
