Breidenstein played offensive tackle for Manheim Township last year. As someone who coached football for 15 years, you cannot coach size and Breidenstein has great size. Standing 6'5" he is a gigantic person. He does have limited film, but in the film, you can tell the talent and the skill he has. He has good feet and does a nice job going down and blocking defensive linemen. Breidenstein is a solid athlete for the position and with more playing time next year he should get some College Football looks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["689382"],"_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-6420ee7bb153e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='689382' first='talan' last='knaub'] Eastern York. </strong>Knaub played wide receiver last year for Eastern York. Knaub is a good wide receiver who catches the ball very well. One of his best traits is he catches the ball well in traffic. This is an important skill for wide receivers. He played mostly slot wide receiver and he is good at taking shorter passes and making positive yards every single time. He also played defensive back for Eastern York and he flashed good coverage skills where he showed the ability to come upfield and make good sound tackles. Knaub has some good skills and with a strong Senior year should get some College Football interest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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='915218' first='Jack' last='Waranavage']","_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":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Cedar Crest ","_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-6420ee7bb15d7"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='915218' first='Jack' last='Waranavage'] Cedar Crest</strong>. Waranavage played wide receiver, safety, long snapper, and punt returner for Cedar Crest. He is a good athlete that has excellent body control. At wide receiver, he does a nice job catching the ball when it is contested catches. He runs good routes and knows how to find the soft spot in the zone to get open. The other part of his game is he can play both slot and outside receiver. At free safety, he shows good range and coverage skills. Waranavage ability to play a lot of positions should also help him with college coaches. He has the skills to play college football and with more experience, he should have a good chance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["377366"],"_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-6420ee7bb1620"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='377366' first='Hunter' last='Svoboda'] Fleetwood. </strong>Svoboda played offensive tackle for Fleetwood last year. Svoboda is another player with great size for the position. Standing 6'7" inches tall Svoboda has great size for the position. He has a nasty streak at the offensive line. When he hits you and you go to the ground you are not getting up. He also is athletic to go downfield and block linebackers and defensive backs. He has a good stance and uses his technique very well. Svoboda recently got his first division one offer from The College of William of Mary. I expect that list to grow very soon, Svoboda is a very good College Football prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["618711"],"_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-6420ee7bb1664"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='618711' first='Czion' last='Brickle'] Fleetwood</strong>. Brickle played running back and linebacker for Fleetwood. In limited film, Brickle showed the ability to be a difference maker at running back. He is very quick and hits the hole with a quick burst and takes off. He is also good at breaking tackles and never goes down after the initial contact. Then when he gets to the open field, he has elite speed and he can take it to the house. Brickle with a strong Senior year has a good chance at getting College Football looks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Logan Alvey","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_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":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Greencastle Antrim","_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-6420ee7bb16e1"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Logan Alvey Greencastle Antrim.</strong> Alvey played quarterback for Greencastle last year. He played in a Wing-T offense and he excelled at the run fakes out of this offense and sprinting out on Waggles. He is also good at throwing the ball well under center. Alvey throws with good touch on the ball and anticipates where and when to throw the ball. He throws with really good touch on deep balls especially. Alvey footwork is also good from the quarterback position as he sets his feet and throws the ball well. Alvey should only get better the more he plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["377550"],"_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-6420ee7bb1725"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='377550' first='Thomas' last='Smyser'] Dover</strong>. Smyser played wide receiver last year for Dover. He has legit speed. When he gets into the open field he is gone to the end zone. He is also a kickoff and punt returner for Dover who made a ton of big plays. As a wide receiver, he is very good with contested catches. He has the ability to create separation and then make a big play in the passing game. He also has very good hands and does a nice job making difficult catches. Smyser is someone who came on the scene last year for a big year and with a good Senior year, he should have a good chance to play College Football. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Josh Acker","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lancaster Catholic","_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-6420ee7bb179e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Josh Acker Lancaster Catholic. </strong> Acker played wide receiver last year for Lancaster Catholic. Acker is a good wide receiver who catches the ball very well. He runs good routes and is also good at finding the soft spot in the zone. He is also solid after the catch and makes good plays after the catch. Acker's ability to use his feet and hands while he manipulates the defense with his routes is very good. Acker is especially good at making catches along the sideline and keeping his feet in bounce. Acker with a strong Senior year should have a chance to play College Football. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
