He is 5'11u0022 206lbs who is primarily a running back. He has an academic 3.4 GPA record and has speed with a 4.5 40 yrd recorded time.rnrnHis film review shows high level run speed with good power behind the pads.  He has a second gear to pull away when being pursued.  I am impressed with is muscle frame and body thickness.  I can easily see him being used  as an every down back.  He is a can do everything back.  He can get the short yardage and be a long yardage home run producer.  Has very good hands coming out of the backfield and will help a team in the passing game also.  Has blocking willingness and stays firm when being pressured by 1st level defenders.rnrnHe appears to be a Div 1 recruit with a high ceiling,  He is drawing Div 1 interest that will increase as he continues to grow, develop and continue producing on the field.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6409edb2b2ce2"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Demofletcher7/status/1632784665734938636?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/Demofletcher7/status/1632784665734938636?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14504804/636eb2fba681a5076849ecb1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-640a09934be5a"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["695429"],"_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_tooltip player_id='695429' first='Ben' last='Brooks'] He is a defensive back who is coming off a 2022 season where he produced 25 solo tackles and 18 assisted tackles for a total of  43 tackles during the season while playing safety. He stands 6'0u0022 approx 183 lbs and can deliver bone crushing hits when assisting with run support.rnrnHis film shows no hesitation in his steps toward any ball carrier and he actually accelerates his speed when he identifies his targeted ball carrier on the field of play.  Basically he loves contact and his film shows this. He can bend with ease and flip his hips instantly to cover a lot of field. He has clips that show his ability to cover sideline to sideline with good quickness and obvious speed that can't be ignored.  This young man is a stock rising recruit who has just gotten started and will be making noise in his last two years of High School Ball.rnrnHe surely has the talent to play at the next level.  Once his recorded speed times are accounted for at college camps, the level of play he will likely be recruited at will be determined.  Excellent recruit with time for growth and development to be special.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6409edb2b2d7a"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BenBrooks_7/status/1597741940409106432?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/BenBrooks_7/status/1597741940409106432?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["695454"],"_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_tooltip player_id='695454' first='Dermas' last='Habtom'] He is a 6'3u0022 215lbs.  Currently attends Malden Catholic School in Massachusetts.  He is coming off a 2022 season where he was positioned at defensive end and tight end for his team.rnrnIn view of his film from the 2022 season, one can easily see he is extremely physical and gives consistent effort each rep.  This is on botyh sides of the ball.  On offense, he is a surefire blocker who knows how to be effective at chipping 1st level defenders and continuing to get to second level defenders for his ball carrier to see running lanes. He uses good technique with his hand placement and getting into the shoulder pads of his defenders and controlling the drive block.  He maintains his blocks and will block until the whistle is blown.  On defense, he uses his length to keep the edge and not allow ball carriers outside of him.  He can get off blocks and react to ball carrier when needed. When he pursues opponents backfield, it is done with a low pad level while using his flexibility to beat his blocker.  Has very good range and uses a wrap and roll technique when tackling.rnrnThis young man is just getting started and should see some college attention this spring 2023 and summer camp season. His range and aggressiveness can't be ignored.  Has plenty of time and room for additional growth and development.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6409edb2b2dc1"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dermas_habtom/status/1595889107531710464?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/dermas_habtom/status/1595889107531710464?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["385267"],"_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_tooltip player_id='385267' first='Yariel' last='Ortiz']   He is a recruit I was informed about during the 2022 season.  He is 5'11u0022 180lbs with 4.6 40yrd recorded speed. He attends Brighton High School in Brighton Massachusetts.rnrnIn view of his film, he surely knows where the ball is when it's in the air and he is being targeted.  He will high-top or layout his body for any ball in his area to make a play.  He is a smooth runner with ball in his hands that looks for the YAC. He has very good vision and knows how to avoid defenders while getting upfield into running lanes. quickly.   Solid reliable hands are visible.  A clip at the 1:29 mark, shows his athletic balance and body control ability to make difficult catches. He gets off the snap of the ball with good burst and understanding of his route running needs to find a opening in zone coverages.  I would like to see some clips of him being covered in Man press but overall a good athlete with good athletic coordination who can make plays.rnrnHe will likely see a few coaches checking in on him this spring 2023, and followed by selective summer camp invites.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-640a09934bfbf"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/YarielOrtiz16/status/1626622415290630144?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/YarielOrtiz16/status/1626622415290630144?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["385330"],"_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_tooltip player_id='385330' first='Connor' last='Hennessey']   A rising quarterback that played behind a senior QB during 2022.  He attends The Governor's Academy in Massachusetts.  He is 6'2u0022 195lbs and projected to take over the reigns for his team in fall 2023.rnrnIn view of his limited film, He is a RPO qb who will tuck the ball and go when running lanes are visible during his read.  He has good accuracy with his short throws while getting the balll out quick.  His team is a run heavy team, so he likely will not be asked to make many throws as he enters his varsity years ahead.  He does have a command presence in the pocket. His Freshman film helps show his true abilities and the expected athletic impact he will have as he moves up into the leading role.rnrnI expect he will be ready for action by fall 2023 and by the end of the season his name will be one many will hear and know.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-640a09934c026"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ConnorHennesse6/status/1539261567698710532?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/ConnorHennesse6/status/1539261567698710532?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16880379/637af7614df60c0f70d542b0' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-640a09934c058"} /-->
