He has great size for the position, standing 6'6. Seeing someone with his size make the athletic plays he makes is very impressive. He has a motor that never stops. Several times on film I saw him come from behind a running back to make a tackle. He also created several fumbles by doing that. He uses his hands very well. As he extends the hands to create separation for the offensive lineman and then discards them to make the play. On the offensive, he plays tight end and you can see his athleticism. Several times on film he made athletic catches. His athleticism allows him to be so disruptive to the offense as he can knock down balls, chase plays, or make plays in the backfield. O'Hara projects as a Division 1 football player who should only get better. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BradyOHara4/status/1627801686034026498?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/BradyOHara4/status/1627801686034026498?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["386212"],"_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-640bdff9c9d34"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='386212' first='Cam' last='Murphy'] Kiski</strong>. Murphy is a really good prospect who played center for Kiski. He has good size and strength for the position. When he snaps the ball he is very good at using that strength to drive opposing defensive linemen. He is also good at using his leverage to drive the defenders off the ball. Another key part of his game is how athletic he is. He is very good on screens where he can chase down and block smaller defenders. Murphy is also a very good long-snapper. This is an important skill to have for a football team. Murphy finally has very good feet and with his strength, he can control defenders very well. Murphy is a very good prospect who should only improve. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CamMurphy56/status/1593739784756858882?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/CamMurphy56/status/1593739784756858882?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["598820"],"_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-640bdff9c9db0"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='598820' first='Kyan' last='Kline'] Armstrong</strong>.

White played wide receiver for Highlands last year. He is a very good athlete who is a homerun waiting to happen at wide receiver. He is dynamic with the ball in his hands. Several times on jet sweeps, wide receiver screens, and other receptions he would take a short pass and make a big play out of it. He is shifty, makes people miss, and has elite speed. The other part of White's game that is impressive is his hands. Several times in tight coverage he made very difficult catches. White is a talented wide receiver I cannot wait to see his development. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["98504"],"_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-640bdff9c9f49"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='98504' first='Eric' last='Kasperowicz']</strong> <strong>Mars</strong>.

He throws with good anticipation and does a nice job with pre-snap reads and knows exactly where he wants to go with the football. He throws a very good deep ball by putting good touch on the ball. Kasperowicz is a good athlete that can be used in the run game. He is very good at throwing on the run and when the play breaks down he can scramble around to find open receivers. The more playing time Kasperowicz gets the better he should get. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["598689"],"_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-640cd97fd5e89"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='598689' first='Ian' last='Olsen'] Armstrong</strong>. Olsen played wide receiver for Armstrong last year. He is a dynamic wide receiver who can do it all at the position. For a younger player, he runs very good routes. He gets out of his breaks very well and when he throttles down on a route he has good balance. He is good on deep balls where he can use his speed to run past defenders. Olsen is also equally as good at taking shorter passes and making bigger plays off of them. He also has very good hands and makes difficult catches look easy. Olsen projects as having good traits to play College football and should only improve the more he plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
