The first thing that stood out to me was that he would go up in traffic and usually come down with the football. He has some polish to work on with his route running but he does a great job with the ball in his hands of getting downfield and finding the endzone. While he may lack game breaking speed, with his length and stride he often still can break away from defenders and has enough size that he is a mismatch in space on smaller defensive backs. I look for another big season from this under the radar prospect in 2023. His Twitter handle is u003cspan class=u0022css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0u0022u003e@BryantJenkins19u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["528593"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"A smooth route runner out of Huntley HS, this 6'2 strider made a ton of plays for the Red Raiders in 2022 in the passing game, and for an offense that doesn't throw the ball that much, that's saying a lot. I would look for him to exceed his numbers in 2023 as he stays a big part of the offense. He does a great job of catching the ball in traffic but I would like to see him use his hands a little more than his body on the field. Another WR who doesn't look as fast as he actually is because of his length, he is gathering a ton of FCS interest heading into the summer. His Twitter handle is u003cspan class=u0022css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0u0022u003e@JacobWitt2024u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["271845"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Another 6'2 long strider for this list, Joe stands out for the Rocks because when he catches the rock, it usually ends up with him celebrating a touchdown. He is a true do it all guy, lining up wide or in the slot for Rock Island and does a great job of catching the ball in traffic and fighting off defenders. He possesses some true speed too and is not afraid to go up and high point a pass anywhere on the field. He recently took a visit to NIU and has drawn some MAC interest as well. Look for a big senior season from Joe.

He does a good job of blocking in space and has good enough hands to make plays in the passing game when called upon. While he is coming into his own on the field, he excels off of it with a 3.9 GPA and interest from Yale and Wesleyan. His Twitter handle is u003cspan class=u0022css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0u0022u003e@noennig_casenu003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["354055"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Tough OWR for St. Laurence, Kaden does a really good job of finding open windows in the defense and getting upfield once he has the ball in his hands. While he may not be a burner he would definitely be considered a true possession receiver, catching the ball well with his hands, not his body, and fighting for yards when the defense swarms him. Look for another good season in 2023 from Kaden.

He runs good routes, that with time, will be crisp and efficient. He is not afraid to catch the ball over the middle and gets good separation from the DB to high point passes all over the field. I would look for another big season from Riley as he continues to be an integral part of the Bulldog passing offense.

He runs sharp routes and has nimble feet to get away from tacklers anywhere on the field. While he will take some snaps at QB, his future is at WR and has been gathering some quality D2 interest as he heads into a big 2023 senior season.
