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-6442bbeeeb936"} /--> <!-- 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":["405135"],"_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='405135' first='Darnell' last='Bronson']  He is ranked as the #3 class of 2025 u0022Athleteu0022 in Massachusetts and also the #6 ranked u0022Athleteu0022 in the New England.  He attends Lawrence Academy in Massachusetts.rnrnHis film shows him playing QB on offense where he is mainly executing RPO and taking the ball to the house untouched. His speed is excellent along with his ability to juke in open field to make defenders miss.  On defense, he can play safety or the corner position.

All for major gains or TD home-runs. On defense he can ball Hawk from the safety position while using his speed to help in run support especially on the perimeter.  It's very hard to recognize he is only a sophomore.
