His performance on the day earned him Most Valuable Player accolades. His frame brings attention to his skill set and surely passes the eye test. His lateral movement was fluid and quick. He did a nice job with dropping into coverage and displayed excellent cover awareness, transition quickness and ball skills. He reads and reacts quickly.  He brings a high level of strength at point of attack.   Has very good balance and ankle flexibility.  Has an obvious burst in his skill set. I project him as a Div 1 recruit with a high ceiling who will be busy this spring with college coach visits and future summer camp invites.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642af366bac1f"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PRZNewEngland/status/1642235779509551104?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/PRZNewEngland/status/1642235779509551104?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14647946/63839fb73df5620b204fe2b7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642c3b21b39b6"} /--> <!-- 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":["600361"],"_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='600361' first='Liam' last='Gannon']   His speed popped on the day.  He can move laterally and his movement is quick and fluid.  He is a very hard worker and was focused throughout the day on his technical aspect of his game.  He did everything with a motor.  Displayed the desire to want to compete.  He will fight the battle of 5'11u0022 at the linebacker position but his skill set can't be ignored.

Has a prototypical frame to work with for the linebacker position with more room for growth and development. His coverage skills is where he shined on the day.  He has good athletic coordination with loose hips and has length in his arms. Hickman is a sleeper prospect right now who should get  a good amount of future college camp invites to solidify his athletic skill set and potential future scholarship opportunities.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642af366bad71"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/bhickman8013/status/1642290171230969862?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true,"align":"right"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed alignright is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/bhickman8013/status/1642290171230969862?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:image {"id":750911,"width":440,"height":587,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/IMG_8698.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-750911" width="440" height="587" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16424561/637d60bb57981d0be0964cc0' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642c3b21b3ac4"} /--> <!-- 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":["749020"],"_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='749020' first='Lucas' last='Guay']   Another prospect who showed very good speed throughout the day.  I personally had an unofficial 40yrd time for him at 4.69 and I also observed him perform a 9-foot 9 inch Broad Jump.  His combine numbers also matched his performance on the day.  He can close quickly on outside runs.   Appears to play more downhill for run support than a coverage defender. Has good initial burst.  He showed good toughness and motor all day.  We had him with DB's as he plays strong safety for his high school team.  He participated in the  linebackers position group where he did a good job performing the drills. I project he could be recruited as a safety from a skill standpoint and maybe grow to move in the box at ILB. He does fit the ILB mold.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642af366badd7"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/LucasGuay6/status/1626383517335552000?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true,"align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed alignleft is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/LucasGuay6/status/1626383517335552000?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:image {"id":751039,"width":316,"height":421,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","style":{"color":[]}} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/IMG_8721-2.jpg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-751039" width="316" height="421" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15794685/639f81d9664cd40aecba4d3b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642c49b75cb88"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator -->
