Some of these guys jump very high in our rankings, showcasing the measurables, athleticism, and tape to play at a really solid level in college while some guys are limited in one of those areas but still have really good potential to play at the next level as they round out their careers over the next two seasons.

Colon has a good frame at 6'2, 190lbs but his arm talent is what makes him one of the best in New York. Colon has great ball placement and does a good job of making tight window throws and also keeping receivers in stride down the field. One of the best deep ball throwers in this class, Colon does a good job of using the sidelines to make balls impossible for defenders to make a play on while still allowing his receivers to make routine catches. Colon, one of the most poised quarterbacks in the class makes a big jump from the watchlist to the top 20 overall, and #4 QB in the state.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["271051"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='271051' first='Gavin' last='Gatchalian'] was in a very crowded wide receiver group at Farmingdale last season but a huge performance at the PrepRedzone showcase he jumped on our radar.

Philbert runs with really good pad level and is explosive and quick making cuts. He can break tackles with power but also showcases the ability to make blocks against the run and and in the passing game. Reliable and consistent are two words that describe Philbert and this season taking that next step with a larger role in the backfield.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["270504"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='270504' first='Enoch' last='Thomas II'] is one of the best cover corners in the state. He has a limited frame at 5'7 160lbs which is factored into the evaluations and rankings but he has one of the most refined skillsets in coverage of any defensive back in this class, which I may add is a very strong group. Thomas has very quick feet and hips and there won't be many receivers who can match his quickness and burst making cuts. His ability to process routes and close on the ball are strong and he can make in impact lined up in multiple positions along the defensive backfield.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["383079"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='383079' first='King' last='Saint Fleur'] has a bunch of really quality traits as a defensive back and has some solid positionional versatility. Saint Fleur has really solid range and ball skills and does a good job of getting his head back to the quarterback and finding the ball. Saint Fleur jumps from the watchlist to a very strong position in the rankings at #114 and the #11 defensive back.

Cuccia has a very smooth release and can make throws at all three levels. Cuccia does a good job of adjusting ball velocity and flight on different types of throws. Cuccia also is patient and works in rhythm very well. Cuccia has good height at 6'2 but could add some weight to his frame to really give him a college level build. Regardless of size, Cuccia who is not very impactful with his legs has shown willingness to fight through tackles and use his body to get extra yards when necessary. Cuccia is a talented prospect with a high ceiling and one of the quarterbacks in this class to watch this fall.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["271061"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='271061' first='Daniel' last='Karadi'] had a strong season for Hewlett and was one of the most impactful receivers in Long Island. Karadi is a reliable target who has really solid hands and the versatility to line up at multiple WR positions. Karadi is one of the better short route runners in this class where he can create seperation consistently. In the run game, Karadi is a solid blocker and is willing to block LBs and bigger DBs.

Tucker is a really solid pass rusher who has really solid counter moves. Tucker can beat tackles with quickness around the edge but also has good rip and swim moves to get back inside. Tucker is a good finisher around the QB and has the athleticism to make plays in space against athletic quarterbacks and running backs.
