I'm impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='385309' first='Carter' last='Carroll'] from a mechanical perspective. Everything before the throw looks seasoned, I can tell there's attention to detail being given when training to limit bad habits. I'm excited to see his footwork, balance, and release up close. Carroll is expected to stay close to the top of his position this coming ranking update. Will his performance validate this upcoming placement?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/cartercarroll9/status/1635305091329654784?s=20","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/cartercarroll9/status/1635305091329654784?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='993997' first='Carson' last='Eutsay'] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Catholic Memorial ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64174de89e313"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>What I'll be looking for: </strong>Is he Rankable?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='993997' first='Carson' last='Eutsay'] is a completely new prospect that I'll be learning about.

I'll now get the opportunity to see Evora work up close and personal to see if the ranking and hype are warranted. Love what I'm seeing at 7v7's. Excited to see it translate in the Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/cameron_evora/status/1635280884445364226?s=20","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/cameron_evora/status/1635280884445364226?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["405638"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64174de89e3ae"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>What I'll be looking for: </strong>Better OL or DL prospect?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I haven't written an evaluation on Farley yet, but a close look at his tape has me excited about his potential on both sides of the football. He will undoubtedly place high on our next 2025 ranking update. The real question is just how high will he place and at what position? If the young man continues to blossom in terms of build, I have no problem ranking him as an OL, I don't have a problem doing so at his current frame. His reps on defense make it a tough decision. Either way, this is a promising young talent that Worcester Academy will get to develop. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["587941"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64174de89e3ef"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>What I'll be looking for: </strong>Top 15 linemen consideration?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ranking 2024 offensive linemen, I was honestly splitting hairs between many of them outside of the top 50.

Numbers 15-25 are all so close in regard to overall talent. Will Kirchdorfer's performance blow me away, to the point that I'm confident he's a top-15 lineman? I know he's capable.

Maybe that placed him too high? I don't like to think so, I'm excited to see Macaione prove it on April 1st. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MichaelMacaione/status/1635042847543132163?s=20","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/MichaelMacaione/status/1635042847543132163?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["629269"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64174de89e474"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>What I'll be looking for:</strong> What's his ceiling?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I haven't done too much digging into the class of 2026 in New England yet.

I'll save a true evaluation for a later date, let's just say I came away impressed overall. I haven't dived into the LB class yet, I'm uncertain where he'd stack against his New England counterparts. I imagine high. 6'4, 190lbs, already with substantial tape out of Masconomet HS. How high is this kid's ceiling? What kind of grade will he get out of me? His performance on April 1st will tie into those decisions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["411173"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64174de89e4dc"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>What I'll be looking for: </strong>Am I wrong on his grade?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is a ridiculous number of talented quarterbacks working out of New England.

A glance at his overall ranking and you'd notice that McClelland still ranks relatively high. A top 250 grade is pretty much an FCS grade out of me.

The reclassified 2025 prospect will see a new rank this coming week, one that will better suit his skillset and production. Will the 6'3, 190-pound playmaker show up and dominate our camp?
