Enzo Catania, LB/RB, 2024 - Enzo is a great football player with a lot of upside. He visited Toledo, Ball State, and Brown this past season. Multi talented on both sides of the ball. At LB he dominates with his play reading ability, block destruction, and speed. Covers the underneath zones well playing through the hands. Impressive blitzer who shoots his hands, gets to lockout quickly, and makes good tackles in the gap. He is a relentless pass rusher with finish. At RB he is a battering ram of a running back at 6'3/225. He runs hard and downhill. He makes a mockery of DB's trying to tackle him. His pass catching ability out of the backfield is very good. He runs good routes and accelerates in the open field. Enzo is a sure fire D1 talent.

He stands 6'1 and weighs 260. He is very strong and manhandles offensive lineman at times. He reads blocks well and employs the correct technique with aggression. He locks out and escapes quickly. He maintains his gaps and has a great inside penetrator move. His pass rush pushes the pocket from the interior and collapses it from the outside. He uses the rip move to his advantage and gets upfield quickly. He had many good sacks this season from those positions. Keep an eye on him next year for Rocco is a very good player.

He started at SS this year for the Braves. He was one of the better players in one of Ohio's best conferences stats wise. He is fast, athletic, and has quick twitch. He aligns in the SS position. He is a great reader of plays and triggers like a missile on the run. He has the ability to stop plays in the backfield and on the LOS. He backpedals patiently with quick transitions deep and forward to underneath routes. He plays the ball through the hands and jumps routes when he can. He had 4 picks this season with 3 breakups. Impressive player who will be a D1 player someday.

He only played in 6 games this season but his stats are off the charts. He is extremely twitchy and athletic. He makes plays out of nothing. Has the ability to score everytime the ball is in his hands. I am impressed with his shifty running in the open field. He catches swings and screens with ease and gets vertical. Deserving of a long look.   HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15160590/636eb7fba681a5076849eebc">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15160590/636eb7fba681a5076849eebc</a>
