Continue ReadingWe also dish out our SES (Size, Explosiveness, Speed) MVP for the best of the best competitors at the linebacker position. What is SES? This is an analytic I came out with last May at our Prep Redzone Wisconsin Showcase. SES takes their variables in order matching up a prospects measurable, with how explosive they were via their broad jump, and the speed they brought to the other testing drills. Also, we stack the top five in each category and whichever prospect leads the pack in all categories is also factored in. All of these numbers carve out an equal or top five SES prospects per position and dish out a SES MVP. Hopefully my SES analytics algorithm laid out simply to our subscribers!

To no one’s surprise this young man flies off the snap and shows some really good elusive feet within his tape. This young man was straight up stingy on special teams planting some consistent well-versed vision with his growing football IQ. Evrett has that demeanor that always end up around the ball catching the defense in their tracks with a slew of turnover ability. He shows off that explosion trait when you watch his agility come thru in the Regis run game and with that agility he doesn’t lose one ounce of durability thru first and second contact. Evrett also shows off some sneak in his tape reps, showing a heavy motor with physicality that fly over the measurables you see. He certainly looks like a scholarship-level prospect in the near future in my eyes. The Ramblers just keep on continuing to brew college prospects year after year.
